Georgia Week Begins for the Crimson Tide

Georgia has yet to beat a ranked team this season but have won all four of their games by an average 32 point margin.

Will you wear death black jerseys again?

Overreaction narrative: I don’t care if they’re 4-0. I don’t want to diminish anything the Dogs have accomplished but, well, OK, let me diminish what the Dogs have accomplished. I want everybody watching. When the opening lines came out today, we were favored over Alabama by 1 point. He practiced a few last week, and we are hopeful he will be okay to play in this game as well. Consequently, we were subjected to the No. 7 Bulldogs vs. the No. 206 Jaguars (according to computer power rankings). Though Alabama is strong in run defense (56.8 YPG, 4th in NCAA), that number will drastically inflate after playing Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and Keith Marshall on Saturday. “We’re moving”.

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks fell to 1-2 on the season with a 34-0 road defeat at the hands of Alabama.

This week will be hype central.

With a win, Georgia head coach Mark Richt can surpass Wally Butts as second all-time in wins at UGA.

Five years and 72 games ago. Quarterback Justin Thomas, universally admired, now is trying to do too much to make up for the weaknesses and is failing woefully (6 for 21 passing with an interception at Duke). “It’s going to be a very good physical game, and I’m ready for it”. And we know it’s going to be a challenge. Especially since this past week at SB Nation included strongly thought-provoking articles by Jeremy Collins about (DGD) Paul Oliver and by Bill Connelly about the fact that we need to find a way to address concussions and the link to CTE in football.

The Georgia Southern Eagles take their option to Malone Stadium to oppose the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.

The defense also needs to get a pass rush on Alabama quarterback Jake Coker in hopes of forcing him into mistakes, which was the case in the Tide’s loss to Mississippi. Players and fans wore black jerseys.

Wynn said the chance to play an important SEC game such as this is part of the reason he wanted to come to Georgia.

Will the outcome be different this time?

The Alabama defense is giving up just 57 yards rushing per game. (Malcolm) Mitchell has been a big player for them at receiver, so they have a lot of weapons.

“I feel like we’re good”, sophomore guard Isaiah Wynn said after the Bulldogs’ practice Monday night.

As for this game going a ways toward defining Georgia’s season, Mitchell said, “I look at it like this: If we win a game, we build momentum”. Y’all are all Bama grads who just wanted to give your alma mater a little extra juice for this weekend, aren’t you? Sometimes we go faster than other times. The band had the greatest on-field adjustment, spelling out the halftime score: 20-6.

Nebraska’s De’Mornay Pierson-El, the dynamic punt returner who has been out since the preseason with a foot injury, will return to practice this week and might play a limited role in Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Illinois. Indianapolis, whom the Falcons face November. 22, figured to be one of the better teams this season but opened with two losses before outlasting Tennessee 35-33 Sunday.
