They must hate Athens and/or had bad past experiences there, etc.

More likely they have already done two Georgia games this year (vs Tenn and vs Ole Miss in Athens) and one Texas game this year.  With 3 of 11 weeks feauturing one or the other they need to spread themselves around a bit.

We got pretty well shredded by Florida and Kentucky as well. Outside of OU we’ve been bad against the pass in conference play.

Kentucky shredded us after we put our defense on the field for 93 minutes interrupted by a three and out. 

I'll never understand the Florida game defensively.  Lol

Sark needs to take a page from Kirby’s playbook and bitch more at the officials. Not sure if it’ll help but 95% chance we get screwed by a terrible flag or a tick tacky one.

This is chess and Sark better be on his game. Kirby and the refs will.

Perhaps the biggest challenge is the fam talking Brazilian all-you-can-eat brunch next Saturday.  Consuming that much cow and pig just hours before a night-game alcoholic consumption of Dionysian proportions could be a recipe for disaster

Whiskey will complement that well and balance out the meat sweats.

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.

Their d line is down but their LB’s are by far their strength. Endries needs to play his best game. Wish he could block effectively.

when was the last time we beat a top 5 team in conference play during a true road game?

I can't find one.

We beat bama in bama

The LBs are as good as ever, tbh.  They just have harder jobs this year.

I completely expect Tre or CJ to break off one of our best RB runs of the season, only for there to be a flag for a questionable holding thrown on some backside blocker that had little to no impact on the play.

The line setters must have read this thread.

My gut told me UGA by 2.5 or 3.5.

It’s UGA -6.5

If you believe Vegas knows something, this should make you feel better. That number inside seven is begging Joe blow public to take Georgia.

And there 100% will be a DPI or defensive holding flag that comes out late on a Georgia 3rd and 10+.

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.

I never would have suspected you to be a B-52's fan.

We belong. This game will be played half a world away from Austin, but we played them in a hostile environment in Atlanta last year. This is more Texarkana than Dallas, but hopefully that leads to an us against the world mentality. Hopefully our team has spent a lot of time watching Georgia this week and has soaked up their tendencies like a sponge. I hope our guys walk unafraid into Sanford Stadium and are not second guessing their preparation. 

We just need to stand on the offense we excel at, and scrap Sarkisian’s preferred style of play. No more square pegs in round holes.

Does College Game Day do their show on Post Thanksgiving Friday?  

Not that I recall - in studio only I believe.  Didn’t they do our game there last year, but I think it was on Saturday in 2024?
