Gurly and Marshall are quite a load

I believe we will see a steady dose of that .
What do you think ?
I think we handle it, facing an unproven QB on their side .

Marshall won't play. He's still banged up and the best case
Aug 21, 2014, 8:27 PM
|
|
scenario ive heard out of georgia is he will get around 10 carries but last I heard he wasn't supposed to be good to play until mid season if that. I think we can contain Gurley to an extent but once we start hitting him he will slow down a lot, he showed that will happen last year. He will get his you just have to contain him and not let him run away with it but I'm not worried about that in the least bit with our line and linebackers.

Marshall is good to go 100%. No limitations at this point.

It really depends on which he is. Of course UGA isn't going to say "Yeah, he's still nursing it, he's about 90%. But we are going to play him anyway!"

Marshall is back without limitation.
That being said Gurley will get the bulk of the work in a similar manner as the USCjr game last year. Gurley got 30 carries and Marshall 7.

That is Gurley's career high carry mark. Gurley has carried for 25+ in 2 out of his 24 games played. In the games in which he has carried 20+ his average ypc dips to 4.89. Roderick McDowell carried for 5.64 ypc in games where he went over 20 carries last year.
Gurley went for a career high in yards, long run and ypc average against what I would have called one of the better run defenses in the country last year. Don't expect that lightning to strike twice.

I was more referring to the ratio than predicting specific numbers of carries. Gurley should get the bulk of the carries in the big games as he's one of the most dangerous players in all of college football.

Also, if you consider the reason why his numbers were lower, it sort of makes sense. Playing the teams that gave us the most trouble, our offense relied on its most trusted weapons. Gurley not only breaks long runs and delivers on big plays, but he can also play a long hard short gaining football game. He steadily pounds the rock until something opens up, sort of like he did for us in the 2012 SEC championship game. He will definitely be forced to share a lot of carries with our other backs though, because your defense will give them all their fair share of hits.

We've had RBs come back 100% but still being nagged by various things that really impacted their performance.
It remains to be seen whether this will be the case with Marshall.
"Back without limitations" doesn't mean "will perform at the highest level".

Aug 22, 2014, 1:31 PM

That being said, while Marshall is a very good RB it's Gurley that is the star of this running game. Every carry that goes to Marshall, Douglas, Michel, or Chubb is a carry taken away from one of the best RBs in the NCAA. The coaching staff knows that, so look for the ratio of carries to fall heavily in Gurley's favor in this game. Marshall and the rest of the backups are just fighting for Gurley's scraps.

that want no part of Gurley's bruising style after sampling it first hand. I doubt either Gurley, or the Clemson D will be intimidated by a little contact.

I've seen his high school highlights. Reminds me somewhat of Jeff Luc. Highly ranked due to highlight reel hits, but too stiff overall to make the required lateral movements on a consistent basis.

Best WR corps in the SEC ? Is that a threat or something ( lol )? I think BV is gonna force the pass by loading up front , we have the defensive front seven to contain Gurshall and to go upfield against that OLine.
It is our D against their O , that is where this game is decided folks.
On the road in a hostile you must bring the pain defensively , last year they could not and it ended up costing them the opener.

I think if you play physical on the defensive side and hit their receivers in the mouth early and often contain the run and pressure the QB we win this one. If HM has time their wide receivers are good enough to get some separation against our db's.

The problem will not be stopping the run
Aug 21, 2014, 10:08 PM

Bit if we can stop it without having to completely selling out and stacking the box causing us to get burned down field.
We don't want to see anything similar to the coot game last year where we completely stop the RB but got burned down field and ran on by the QB. I don't know how much mason can run but I'm sure he could pick up some yards on a wide open side of the field.
If we can stop gurshall without stacking the box then we will be achieving something and it will be a long night for the dawgs.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Brendan Douglas RB at UGA. I think he's better than Marshall, plus he will be the #2 Rb behind Gurley in our game. I hope our D respects him as much as I do. Otherwise, the dawgs will wear us out on D with that RUN game. I hope I'm wrong.
As for the initial question - Yes - if UGA is to win this game, they MUST run, run, and run some more. I doubt they hurt us very much thru the air. We must contain those 2 RB's. PERIOD.

Thru the air I guess is semantics. We can hurt you thru the air throwing 5 to 10 yard wheel/swing routes. That will probably be what we try to do with Marshall.

The problem for Marshall is - he might not be 100% ready for our game - and probably won't be a real problem after a few hits. I disagree on Marshall - as he will be a non-factor in OUR game. Maybe he will be more effective later in the season when he has some PT behind him. But that's JMO.

Honestly dont know what to expect from Marshall until we see him suit up. He has said to be 100% since the summer and from all reports is in great shape.
Douglas, Michel, and Chubb could all contribute as well if Marshall isnt 100%...not lacking at RB this year if we stay healthy.

According to everyone including me, our defense is one of the best. With our strengths being our line and linebackers I just can't see UGA just running over us.
Does anyone thing their defense will hold our offense as well as our defense will hold their offense?

Yes. Both defenses have veteran, athletic front sevens with questionable secondaries. Both offenses have new but veteran starting QBs with good WRs returning. The main difference is the running game. UGA returns a formidable one, and Clemson's is a question mark.
