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

[TideEngineer08]

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.

He's a tough guy too. Period. I'm not overlooking him anymore. He's got limitations, sure. But the talent around him does not.

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...

The ducks lost 3 of their last 4 before this season , including 2 games to Utah by a combine 76-17 And gave up 47 to Oklahoma in the bowl game. No, the Ducks were destined to be blown out.

My question was more if Georgia could cover which they certainly can

Part of the problem with uga right now is they still don't instill fear in their opponents. Teams don't get overhyped to play them. Their opponents still think they are just playing another game.

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.

I never said that. I said that they would have one loss in the regular season and get beat bama in the sec title game getting knocked out of the playoffs. Is there something about that is so far fetched??? It just seems like fans get swept up in how a team plays one week out of the season apply that to a prediction for the rest of the season and they expect the team to always be on every single week when I have explained historically and logically why that’s not very likely.

It is bizarre to me. But you're right.

You know I had to look twice to make sure I didn’t quote you… So I’m really confused how you thought I was talking about you specifically.

A team from Georgia up 28-3.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[DawgAlum2054]

5 drives with 5 touchdowns. Roughly 10 yards per play on the game. No punts no field goals.

 

[RTR2u]

This Oregon D can't get out of their own way.

I figure this is the butt whooping everyone thinks or one of those first week games that really makes you question top 5 preseason rankings again. I think it’s probably more of the latter but for whatever reason Georgia under Stetson Bennett makes little sense when predicting overall scores.

i think Georgia wins but it’s closer than what people think

How in the world this team is ranked with Bo Nix at quarterback and the defense actually having to learn how to play defense is beyond me.

By the time tonight is over Alabama will most likely be ranked third. Ohio State gets to destroy Notre Dame today as well.

I don't think Bo is going to morph into Brady

 

[TideEngineer08]

I don't think Bo is going to morph into Brady

Maybe in his own mind though...

I seriously doubt that, but ultimately who cares at this point

Maybe Bobby Brady......who caught........THE BOMB........from Joe Namath......

Isn't oregon's coach a former DC at uga?

It is the AP poll, so who cares what the rankiings are?

Being ranked third is ok with me. Let folks think we are not ready.

Won't matter and will only motivate an already ticked off team.

Georgia and Ohio State will name their scores against ranked opponents, while Alabama will handle their business against Utah State. Voters don’t need much more to pass Alabama.
