UGA will probably run all over UT. One of those games I wish both could lose.

Man, I dunno - UGA's offense hasn't been great and the UT front seven is playing elite football.

CA, I agree, but what do I know? UGA is a ticked off team most likely this week. And at home. Who should we pull for?

That's the residual of the shoulder injury - not as much air under his long balls. It reminds me of the Croyle arc...

Yeah, Jalen is throwing a lot of rockets lately. He did have some nice touch of the TD to Outz, but in general, on longer passes, they are mostly rockets.

I agree, but he also threw that pass from his toes. The pass to Bernard was well thrown with power, and thrown while on the run.

He's so close to being healthy again, but you're right, his footwork is still a problem. I think part of his problem is that his arm is so strong. Those QBs get in the bad habit of doing it all with the arm. His shoulder injury turned out not to be what I was initially afraid of, which would have lasted the season. I was delighted to hear what I heard. The other injury, affecting his running, blew me away. I didn't expect what I heard, but it's almost well also. I'm sure the details will come out eventually, probably post-season. BTW, when I'm suspecting something, like when I posted about his shoulder initially, I try to make it clear I'm speculating, usually based on experience. When I state something flatly, then I'm at least 90% sure of what I'm saying and have one or more sources. That's true of all staff, in fact. Any fool should know we can't reveal how we know or have to "prove" it, or it's just a rumor. That in itself is foolish, if not downright stupid. Also, to say or infer that any other member is "not smart" will get a suspension every time...

I'm not sure which is better for Bama, so I dunno.

I just wouldn't be surprised if this was a low-scoring game, so either team has a chance.
