Game Thread: Oregon vs Georgia (2:30 ABC)

Those who thought this wouldn't be a blowout - why?

Oregon felt overrated to me with a new coaching staff, new quarterback, and having lost a decent bit off a team that wasn't elite last season...

Yep, I think pride is going to catch up with UGA. And if it does the fall is going to be glorious.

I simply refuse to believe UGA can keep doing this with Bennett. His luck is going to run out at some point.

Oregon has been trending in the right direction in the last few years. I thought they would put up a fight.

This game is a microcosm of the difference between the SEC and the Pac12

 

[DawgAlum2054]

Every drive for Georgia ended in a touchdown, no punts no field goals. 300 yards at half and 5/5 on 3rd down

I thought they would stay within the spread. I thought Georgia would have some rust after winning the title then losing a lot of guys to the pros and graduation. I figured Oregon would at least be able to be competitive.

He has put up 24, 24, and 26 offensive points on Bama Respectively. Not exactly Florida spurrier numbers.

 

[RTR2u]

Maybe UGA will go ahead of us eventually and be #1 soon. Get the target off our backs and give them the big head.

Georgia far outclasses them at every single position group.

If Oregon doesn’t find a way to get some pass rush, it isn’t going to slow down for GA

 

[Saban4Ever]

Georgia has an easy schedule, as usual. I expect them to be undefeated headed into the SEC championship game. Hopefully, Bama will make it there too. I think Bama will be undefeated if Bryce, Will, Jamyr and others stay injury free. The game in Atlanta will be tough. I expect both Bama and UGA to make the playoffs.

Samford might put up a better fight than Oregon.

25 year old QB with a very talented offensive line and receivers/tight ends

it’s not that Stetson is some magic QB, it’s that he’s mature with a lot of talent around him.

But they have Patrick Nix.

It'll be interesting to see if UGA has the insane injury luck this year as they had last year. Sure hoping ours is much better than last year's.....

That Johnny Manziel type play Bennett completed for a TD , that was a prayer throwaway. He wasn’t even looking at McConkey , he was looking at Washington. I’ll give him some credit, he threw the ball far enough that he thought only Washington could catch it. Wonder where the DB covering McConkey went? Those were the plays that got SBIV in trouble early in his career. Pretty sure that success now will lead to future failure. Which is only a good thing.

The coaching staff that had them heading in the right direction is gone.

Oregon's had one impressive showing versus a top-tier team over the few years - last season - but the rest of that season showed that game was a fluke.

I think most just hate Georgia so much that they are hyping up every opponent on their Clemson level schedule to beat them. Everyone is desperately hoping they have a 2010 type season but their schedule doesn’t have a great team on it.
