Here's what we do know about the game....

Sure, both teams have unknowns. But I'd tilt that in our favor. They're bringing back a 60% passer in Hutson Mason (5 TD's, 3 INTs). He doesn't wow folks, atleast not me. And they had two WRs go over 500 yards and 40+ receptions. (Third leading guy had just 30 catches) Yawn.

Sure they'll try a ground and pound with Gurley. But good luck. Our DLine only got better as the year progressed. Plus ThUGA runs a pro style O which actually benefits us (follow me on this one). Teams that spread it out and have a mobile QB tend to be more of a problem than Pro style. The heat won't matter as we're deep up front. Take away a long run or two last year and we did ok against them last year. Scar thought they'd run it down our throat but we held Davis to around 30 yards. Try and run it. Go ahead. Put yourself in third and long passing situations.

The mutt D was awful last year. 79th out of 125 in scoring D. It's pretty much the same group of floppers minus those suspended and gone from the program. Dude, they lost TO VANDERBILT! Further, it took two OTs for them to beat GT. How does that happen?! Ya know what GT does ahead of time! That D ain't shutting anyone down.

And they aren't going to beat you with special teams. Marginal punt returns (3.3 avg) and zero special teams TDs. And theres always a chance a kicker could get a BUI. (See last year)

We've got the better D. We're begging you to give a healthy dose of girly and get into 3rd and long. Their D is woeful and ya know we'll score. Plus the summer arrest fiasco might not be over yet! I say Tigs win.

As I said, our D got better as the year progressed. Those long runs I spoke of disappeared towards the end of the season. And Mason is no Shaw. He won't be running or running a spread. Its a line up and run pro style which will be easier to cover than a spread O.

If ThUGA has some talented WRs, I haven't seen em. Perhaps they play for Auburn or Louisville now. I would think a genuinely talented WR would be utilized and have perhaps 50 - 60 receptions. That wasn't the case. And how are they going to deliver it to these "talented" receivers with a 60% completion guy? Heck he struggled against GT. Couldn't even beat Nebraska and had plenty of bowl practice time to fine tune those non existent skills. Troll on homer... enjoy your Finebaum book..
