Richt has already lost to GT twice. Maybe you meant twice in a row.

Also, Georgia has a ton of talent, but I have the suspicion that UGA fans will miss Bobo more than they realize.

Other than that play what broke our backs happened earlier in the game. Miami had a 3rd and long near mid-field, we rushed Ken Dorsey and forced him to run for his life out of the pocket and throw back across his body incomplete. They have to punt, right? Wrong. On the way back to the huddle Cols Colas (probably spelled wrong) walks past Dorsey and gives him a stiff arm to the chest, knocking him to the ground and drawing a 15 yard Personal Foul with a first down. They get a field goal out of that drive. We lost by two.

I remember it was at least 2 plays after that that Colas would even look toward our sideline. Foster was having a fit on the sideline, I've never seen him so mad.

To be fair, they all became "who?" NFL guys. And they also lost 2 games to fair to middling teams at that. No one from that LSU 2007 team is going to the HOF, I can think of a couple Miami players that are.

That Miami team had a starting WR that is still being selected in current fantasy football drafts.

Don't bet on it. GT steals a win vs. UGA occasionally, but there's a reason it's rare. Georgia is loaded with talent. UGA gets theirs.

And it's a standard provision in any UGA coaches contract...lose to the Bugs twice, and your run out of town after being tarred and feathered.

The Tommy Frazier 1995 Nebraska team is commonly held as the best team of the modern era. Very, very different team than 2001 Miami. Polar opposites. Miami was loaded with talent and didn't need to bother with coaching. Nebraska in 1995 was the culmination of all that Triple Option and Blackshirt Defense coaching.

That would be a fun one to put on EA Sports and just let the computer play it out.

1) Quick throws to your TEs releasing off the line without blocking/chipping the DE/Backer for 5 yards will beat the Bear front, but that's why the Rover comes into the box, neutralize that threat, and provide another hitter. Maybe you meant mid-distance middle? That's where the Free is waiting...please go after Clark again...please. Speedy receivers getting off press-man coverage on the outside and pushing it down-field before our DL penetrates is the only way to schematically beat the Bear. Else-wise, you're counting on beating it by winning the 1-on-1 battles.
2) Yeah it could, but the timing has to be perfect, what if we don't hide the alignment? Serious risk of schematically bad blocking design then.
3) Now we go where I think the real danger is, combining this sweep with short TE routes. Doing so could dictate bringing the FS down to cover the TE, and leaving the rover to account for the outside sweeps and pitches, now you have a true cover0, man blocking outside run...your RB only has one man to beat. It should be noted, this exactly the kind of thing GT does, the difference being the inside threat would be the TE instead of the FB. Bud has destroyed this in the past by having the DE penetrate hard, and the rover cover the TE outside, to maintain leverage on the sweep/pitch.
4) Absolutely, just ask GT.

I still think the deciding matchup on the OSU offense-VT defense side, is Moto vs the RB. It's not that your QBs and WRs are bad, it's just that we have learned to have faith in a TG secondary in man coverage, the same way we have faith in Foster.

Not arguing with you, just sharing my thoughts. That 2001 Miami game in Lane was the loudest I have ever heard that stadium. I can't imagine what it would have been like in its current incarnation, but then the South endzone stands did not exist. Even with that, still the loudest I have ever heard our stadium when we blocked that punt and ran it in.

Hypothetical: if this year's OSU team doesn't make the playoff, where would you put the OSU team we played against last year (factoring in the early season aspect of the game and such)?

It's like being the geeky or ungainly awkward kid in school, then hitting a growth spurt, turning into a hunk, and having the cutest cheerleader decide to make you her boyfriend.

Take a break dude, you don't have to be a dick everyday of your life. I know you're just pissy 'cause its gonna be a long ride back to OHIO!!!

Play action (with JCC looking strong in pass protection) with Brewer to Malleck on a skinny post (or deep curl) for 16 yards in the soft part of the zone. Then they run the Fr. Trey Edmonds Alabama off-tackle play for 59 yards and a score.

Or a draw play for yard.

Bud Foster remembers

Edit: My photoshop skills are still nothing to brag about, but figured it needed a little something more.
