Georgia @ Arkansas Game Week


Carter

Recommended Posts

Alright, coming off the Dawgs best performance of the season with a 34-0 shutout at Mizzou they now travel to Arkansas to play the tough nosed Razorbacks. Arkansas is coming off a 14-13 loss to Alabama in which they only gave up 66 yards on 32 carries, limited Blake Sims to 11/21 passing for just 161 yards and outgained Bama by 108 yards.

This is a tough matchup for both teams so it should be interesting to see how this one plays out.

For Georgia, we have to hope we get Gurley back. Not just because he's Gurley, but we need the depth in our backfield to keep going at that defense.

Defensively, Georgia has it's work cut out as Arkansas has one of the best pair of RBs in the country and run that offense much like Bielema did at Wisconsin. They will try to wear us down and take some shots in the air from time to time, but this isn't Petrino's pigs; they aren't going to air it out a lot. Call this stress test #1 for our run d.

This game is going to come down to whose QB can play better

I have a feeling that's not far off the mark. Our running game is very very strong, but we will need Mason to have another solid outing to get this win. Not to mention carry on this defensive performance. Our front 7 will get pounded in this one so rotation will be very important.

Not saying Arkansas defense doesn't deserve a lot of credit, but I believe Bama's best OL was out. And Kiffin has messed with their identity as a power running team. The announcers talked about that late in the game, where it looks like they just don't know who they are as an offense. Our offense will have to work for yards and points, but honestly our offense is better because we know who we are and what we want to do.

Interested to see who plays on defense and how much rotation there is. There has been a lot of playing time given to smaller fast guys. Not sure that works against a power running team. Auburn played basically 4 tackles when they shut them down. Will Pruitt be flexible?

I'm ready to get a conference win **** it.

Definitely possible to get it here... this is gonna be a very physical game. Arkansas has a tough squad.

Very unfortunate that the West is so quality across the board... I really think every single team in that division can play with just about anyone this season. Except for maybe LSU... but how crazy is that, that LSU is possibly the weakest one in the division.

Les Miles has mailed it in so he can prepare to be DC of the falcons :D :D

Not sure what to think. I know they can run the ball but I think we're solid against the run. It was the pass D that was our issue going into Missouri. I don't know that we can base the Alabama rushing attack on what they've been in years past due to their OL.

That said, I still think Mason is a huge limitation and I fully expect Arkansas to continue to stack the box and dare Mason to make the plays on those read option plays or with his arm. Something I'm not sure he's capable of.

I did not see much that impressed me from the Arkansas QB.

Toss-up, but like someone else said I think it comes down to which QB plays better.

I'm feeling this game the same way as last week. Arky has a monkey to get off their back. We have a NCAA distraction on ours.

Hogs 31- Dawgs 13

i just don't see it being like that.. a few big issues for arky is their wrs stink and they lbs situation is very bad. we don't have gurley and that hurts, but if our defense has turned the corner then arky is going to have a hard time scoring. also like our matchup with arky and our oline against their dline especially their front 7. i think we offensively do the same thing we did against missouri.. run and run and run and cause turnovers.
