How many points do you think the Bama offense will need to score to get a win from Georgia.

[DzynKingRTR]

Gonna say 35 minimum but I honestly do not care as long as we win.

We could win 2-0 on a safety and I would still be mostly happy. The complaint thread for a 2-0 win would be epic

 

[JDCrimson]

I think Ty will need to run for about 50yds to win along with a diverse passing attack.

can yall help me understand a little bit. Is the reason many are saying high 30 and even in the 40 range because of defensive concerns?

Kane Wommack cannot contain mobile QBs, period. Admittedly, I'm not sold on Stockton. I think Simpson is simply a better version of Stockton, but this Bama coaching staff simply sucks on the road. So...yes.

 

[JDCrimson]

Yes. We have no illusions that we will be able to control the LOS on both sides of the ball.

I will say, Georgia has not looked great at LOS on either side of the ball this year. Injuries and a lot of people moving around. Stockton has been able to mask some of the major problems at offensive line.

 

[Cruloc]

I don't think we're going to be able to consistently stop UGA's run game. We've got an undersized DL and will have Keenan back who won't really be at 100%. Afraid they are going to gash us.

We've got better WR's and a QB that's been on fire. If our OL can block well enough, we can really do some damage through the air.

With that said....we haven't looked good on the road, so who knows. If we come out with anxiety and play like we did at FSU, we're done.

Nine out of the last 10 times Alabama and Georgia have played each other, the first team to score at least 25 points has won the game.

25 usually wasn't enough to win the game - but the first one usually wins...

That is mine. Ya'll have that "not panic" so I think even if we jump out like last year or the way Tennessee did, you will settle in and stage some sort of comeback. If we go into a shell after an initial burst, our defense could be in trouble.

I'm thinking we will need 38 points at least. I'm thinking Georgia is going to try and run the ball at the beginning of the game. If we score quickly then Georgia will have to try and keep up with the Bama offense.

It's not how many points that offense will need to score to win. it's what the Defense will allow points for Offense to have chance to seal the game away.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Sounds like a lot of folks here need to go bet big on the over.

I don't see this one as high scoring as they have been the last several years.

 

[bamajas]

To me it isn't about how many points, but really if Alabama can have a balanced offense. Alabama is 13th in the SEC in rushing, their top rusher is 35th in the SEC, and they are only handing the ball off 35% of the time.

If Alabama gives up on the run too early, they can end up putting too much pressure on both Ty and the defense. So to me the key is can they have a semblance of a running game or not. If they can't, they're probably going to need to score about 40 to win. Georgia is beatable but the question remains if this Alabama team is the one to do it.

This is where I'm at

I wish it were in the 27-31 range because we control the game on the ground

But the way we're most likely to play on O means it'll take more like 38-42

i would reach true enlightenment if that actually happened

 

[Bamabuzzard]

^^^^^ This

If we're not able to establish a traditional running game with our running backs, we're going to need to use some designed QB runs to keep the UGA defense honest or they'll just pin their ears back and tee off on Ty.

 

[editder]

I don’t know what to expect for this game. We had two decent wins against cupcake opponents, and we still don’t know how good FSU is to gauge what the outcome in our game against them means.

I do know that we seem to always have individuals and/or units that play particularly well against UGA, even if it is an anomaly. The OL, for instance, played very well against them in 2023 after looking fairly anemic for most of that season.

I’m hoping that trend continues.

 

[UAH]

I might be a little stubborn with coming around on Stockton, but I still don't think he's a great downfield passer. I think he was able to take advantage of Tennessee's weak secondary, but I believe our secondary is far superior. I do worry about him as a runner, but he's more of a runner in the mold of Jackson Arnold than Castellanos, and is UGA willing to let him run and take hits in this game because he's not necessarily elusive.

I to am not inclined to put Stockton in the Heisman over that one throw in the Tennessee game. I am uneducated when it comes to the quality of Georgia's secondary and as others have said the game revolves around Bama handling their run game to a degree then having some success throwing the football.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Honestly have no idea. I would bet in the 30s but maybe Tim Keenan playing will make a big difference for the defense

 

[SeventhHeavenRanch7777@gm]

I hope we score 35 or more but I dont see it. We may score 25. I hope.our OL dominates but they have not impressed me yet. I know sometimes it takes a few weeks to gel so we will see what happens

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Keenan and Miller are playing this weekend so that will help some.
