The Bulldogs are a 38 point favorites against the second best team in the state of Georgia as Georgia Southern comes calling in Athens on Saturday. The Eagles will run the triple option that is a left over from former Southern and current Tech coach, Paul Johnson.
All I have heard this week is that Southern ran for over 300 yards against Alabama last year.
There are two things that I'm sure of:
1. Georgia will win this game by double digits.
2. Georgia will not cover the 38 points. That point spread is crazy.
Southern will get things going on the ground at times during this game, and they will score enough to make some Georgia fans angry. Then you will hear that Tech will run all over us because if Georgia Southern can score what ever number they score, then Tech is going to score 100 points. Those people are dumb, and we shouldn't listen to them, ever.
The reason Georgia will win this game is that there is no way in this world that Georgia will not score as much as they want on Saturday. Southern's defense doesn't have as much talent as Auburn's defense, and you see what Georgia did to them last week. Southern will be fired up, they might sack Murray early, and you might start getting nervous. Please don't. Don't waste your nerve on this game. It doesn't matter what the score is, Georgia will win.
Now, if you are a true Georgia fan you know that the biggest game on Saturday is not in Athens. We have to stay up late to watch Kansas State play Baylor and Oregon play Stanford. Now when I say we have to watch these games, I mean that those two games are on at the same time, and Tennessee/Vanderbilt is on as well. You will have to switch between all three games to stay awake, because, if you are anything like me, its hard to watch some of these games.
I don't think this is the weekend for an upset, but you have to watch just in case.
Why is it such a big deal? If two of the top three teams lose, then Georgia will have something they haven't had in 30 years: a chance to play for the national title.
In 2002 Georgia finished second in the nation, but they never had a chance to play one game to get to the title game. In 2007, Georgia had to watch and hope, and then still got left out of the title game.
If two of these team lose, then the Georgia/Alabama game will be a national semifinal in the Georgia Dome.
At this point it is still a long shot, but it is worth keeping an eye on these other games, because you just never know what will happen.
This weekend should be fun, but not as fun as next weekend.
Georgia 45 Georgia Southern 31
GO DAWGS!!!
