We're correctly an underdog, but holy shit is this thread a tough read. This is a deserving top ten team and people are acting like it's a peak Charlie Strong roster.

Georgia isn’t better than us. They get us at home- advantage them. We get them off a bye and a team that should be healthy and have game planned for them for 2 weeks. Advantage us. Kirby Smart apparently controls the refs. Advantage them.  We have played like absolute shit on the road all year with at least one of our units (offense v OSU, defense v Florida- though O wasn’t great, offense v Kentucky and defense v MSST).  We need a complete game, called well by the coaches and officiated cleanly to win. It also would help if the ball bounced our way just once- unlike the 6 bad breaks we got in the SEC title game last year. That seems like a lot. I’m betting against it until I see it. 

What phase is Georgia not better than us? 

I think we can win because any given Saturday.. But you can’t start by saying they aren’t better than us and then make a solid case about them most definitely being better than us with how shitty we play, our poor coaching, and the lucky bounces we need.  We are as good as we’ve shown we are.

More on the rushing thing.  Georgia has lost 5 games since the start of the 2022 season. Now they outrushed Bama by a lot earlier this year, but Bama has some sort of voodoo curse on Georgia anyway.  4 of the other 5 teams that have beaten Georgia generally outrushed them....most somewhat significantly.  Sark's gonna have to figure that out.

This thread is require a truck load of them.  

Does making wise-ass, retarded posts like this really make you feel better? Eventually, reality will set in and you will have to deal with real life.

Texas doesn't get to be a complete underdog that often. Might as well live it up.

The way texas has played down the stretch we can win. 

It depends on Sark insists on deviating from what working or leans into that. 

This is basically a play in game coming off a bye week. This tells us everything about our staff and our team

The good news is we have two RB's for this game. The bad news is only one of them can block and the other can't run through tackles. 

With Taaffe and Mcdonald back, I see improvement in our secondary. Muhammad is a solid cover corner, Littleton is a baller, but we still have Guilbeau who will get picked on, so he's going to need a ton of help. I don't think this is a blowout, but I'm not confident in a win, either. If Arch can get literally 2.5 seconds to throw, we can put points on the board. We also get Wingo back, and for all the shit he does wrong, he's been stepping up this year on the long ball. Moseley has been a great surprise, and I like Washington as a TE. Our blocking has been the same since 2021- nonexistent from anyone who receives the ball. We aren't running the ball on their defense simply because Baxter doesn't have speed anymore, but he's a reliable pass blocker and ball catcher. I don't know what to do about Wisner, he's basically going to be inert. We aren't bereft of WR talent, but we have a gap in OL vs DL. So we're basically going to to have to channel Mike Leach and hope for the best. 

Their offense is really good at running the ball between Bowens and Frazier. They'll make you pay, but we have enough DL to rotate to keep them fresh. We need to hope Simmons and Hill/Lefau can make Stockton miserable. Our DL are also really good at getting to the QB and flush them out and make them uncomfortable, not to mention if we get refs that aren't getting paid in envelopes, they can tackle, too. Their WR's are generally good, but hardly great. Their RB/WR Cash Jones needs to be covered at all times, or that motherfucker will make you pay. We will be the best defense they have seen since Bama, and we are only second in total D to Bama in conference, but Georgia is first, so I trust PK. Bobo (what a dumb fucking name. It's fitting) isn't Lebby and won't take risks by airing it out down field. He's more of a run guy who utilizes the pass game effectively with screens, go routes, out routes, etc, especially with Branch. Noah Thomas has been quite a disappointment for them, so that's nice. They don't really have a standout WR outside if Branch, but they have a few guys who are more than capable like Colbie Young, London Humphreys, Dillon Bell, and TE Oscar Delp. Their receivers don't score a lot of TD's, as Branch is their leader with 3; their run game, including Stockton is where they make their payday. Their 3-headed monster of Frazier, Bowens, and McCray (who is basically there to just pound the DL and wear you down) are really, really good. 

Their defense has a lot of talent, especially KJ Bolden, Ellis Robinson IV, CJ Allen, Raylen Wilson, Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, Christian Miller and frosh Elijah Griffin, and Quintavius Johnson will make our OL look like Holocaust children before their showers if we don't have a solid game plan.

The college football world will be feeling gravity’s pull towards Athens, GA this Saturday for a November matchup between two heavyweights.  Games like this are truly part of life’s rich pageant. Many are making the pilgrimage to one of the great college towns, which happens to be the birthplace of one of my favorite bands.    

 

History has formed a perfect circle and the Horns now rematch with a team they were twice unable to beat last season. But this Georgia team isn’t the monster they have been in past seasons - it’s time for a reckoning.  There is a murmur of concern for both squads, as another loss for either team will bring the realization for their playoff goals that they can’t get there from here.  We can talk about the passion of the two fanbases, but it shouldn’t be hard for either team to get up for this game.

 

It should be a perfect fall evening, but for those hoping to see a sloppy mudfest, there is little chance for so. central rain - I’m sorry.  We’ve got the evening timeslot for this game, so even if you are a daysleeper, you should be able to catch this one.  Sadly, I can’t make the trip this year, so I will be watching by the fireplace with the one I love.

 

Just over two months ago, our Horns had a pre-season #1 ranking and many CFB pundits telling Arch you are the everything.  How quickly a tough loss in Columbus and an inexplicable loss in Gainesville had us all feeling low.  Just a couple of weeks ago, the injury report made it seem like everybody hurts, but the extra rest during the bye week has improved that situation.

 

There is still a lot of hope left for this Longhorn team to approach the accomplishments of legendary Longhorn teams.  Reflecting on those teams and their magical seasons, I would star ‘69 - back in the days when we had just put a man on the moon and Radio Free Europe blared over the Iron Curtain.  And who can forget those nights at the Rose Bowl in ‘05 and ‘06?  I remember California.

 

If the Horns don’t begin the begin with at least a 21-pt lead in the first half, many on this board will be screaming that it’s the end of the world as we know it.  After the Vandy game, many have valid concerns… “what if we give it away?”  I’m not as pessimistic as some, but if we see ref shenanigans like there have been in so many UGA games this season, I will surely be losing my religion.  

 

But there are 1,000,000 different ways this game can play out.  It could be a defensive struggle with a 9-9 score as the regulation clock runs out of time.  

 

The Georgia DL is a strength of their team, so Arch will have to implore his line to not let the weight of those 300 pounders fall on me.  Here’s hoping that the offense comes out like the high speed train we saw in the past two games.  Arch’s catapult of an arm will have to come up big on this stage.  It may come down to one big drive late in the game, or it may hinge on a drive ‘r 8 throughout the game.  If the offense doesn't stay on schedule, Arch will consistently be staring down the barrel of the middle distance - not a formula for success.    

 

If we don’t see Taafe back for this game, there is a real danger of defensive confusion, with a green secondary wandering around like they are gardening at night. But if the players execute and stick to assignments, this defense should play like an orange crush and no one should have to be Superman and make a miracle play on their own.  If history is a predictor of future events, this defense will need to bow up and make an important stand at some point in the game.

 

This Longhorn team just needs to remember that everyday is yours to win.  I believe that at the endgame, after a hard fought win that leaves our visiting crowd of shiny happy people in near wild heaven, the team will gather in front of the visitor’s section to sing The Eyes of Texas, which we all know to be the finest worksong.

Couple of things for people unfamiliar with UGA this year. 

This isn't their typical defense.  They are good-not-great, secondary is vulnerable, and have given up big plays. The front not being psychopathicly good can't cover their weaknesses elsewhere this year.

This is a better offense.  It's extremely efficient without being terribly explosive, and can beat you multiple ways.

If we want to beat teams like UGA we need to roll out something better than Cole Hutson, Connor Robertson, and Brandon Baker on the OL. Those scrubs will get abused. Shame on Sark and Flood for thinking that group was sufficient.

Part of the keep  Norte Dame relevant media campaign in case they get a third loss and Pitt ends up winning out and wins the ACC.  Pitt has sort of done their thing under the radar and they need a little media attention and this gets it to them just in time. .      Norte Dame will then be assigned to the first tier of the third loss club.
