This game is receiving a lot of hype from all directions. ESPN is featuring this game for College Game day. Coach Mark Richt called for a blackout early this week. Larry Munson retired and will not be calling the action for the first time in 40 years. To add to everything, the two coaching staffs have been going back and forth in the media for the past few days. None of that will change the game - but it will be intresting. Here is how I see things playing out. The two teams are very similar. Run the ball and pass when the time is right. That being said UGA has the better running and passing game and should win the game. I would not be suprised to see the first team to 20 points win this game. A defensive or special teams score is likley (and could decide the game). Georgia wins a tough game: 23-17.
Players to watch for:
Danell Ellerbe - The middle linbacker has taken a backseat b/c all of the teams using the spread offense. Look for Danell to play a big role in stuffing the run. 8 tackels
Reshad Jones - This guy has been so so in coverage this year but I have a hunch he will pick off a pass and "lay the wood."
Knowshon - This is the perfect game for him. Just run the rock. Look for the coaching staff to save him for late in the game. I don't think he will go for a lot of yards but the yards he get will be huge.
Caleb King - With all the running that will be going on I think King will be a bigger force. One big run. I think we might see both running backs on the field at the same time. If that happens look for Knowshon to split out wide or go in motion to the slot receiver.
Blair Walsh - He might win this game with a late field goal. What is more apt to happen is that he wins this game with several early field goals. I'm goning out on a limb and calling for him to be the player to the game.
