*Yes*
Kelly tends to better early in the season than late and finally never underestimate Jawja to lose the important game. They are kinda like our version of NC State. Great under the Carter administration, nothing since.

I'm not saying they will, but I hope it happens.

yes. UGA won 20-19 2 years ago.

Do you remember the players drafted from that team?
Look for ND to stuff the box and try to take away the run.
Somebody tell me why this UGA team is so much better than 2017 UGA?
I don’t expect ND to whip them but I think they can pull it off. Their D was pretty good last year.

I’m also factoring in ND last year. I think their defense will be good again. I could be wrong.
UGA passing game is weak this year.
I referenced the game 2 years ago because these teams are closer matched than people think. They also play a similar style of football.

actually weak. Obviously ND is a big step up in competition but Fromm is averaging like 11 YPA and they have a ridiculously good OL.

I think Fromm is good but not great. He would probably be better in a different offense.
His ypa last year was 9.0
We’ll see how good ND secondary is. ND is going to have to pack the box. I just saw they have given up 200+ yards per game so far on the ground

"I've yet to see confirmation that Georgia's passing game is actually weak."
That's only because you ain't watching. They lost their 2 best receivers to the NFL, and the 3rd best one got kicked off the team. They had NOBODY with a single catch in a game on their roster at the beginning of the season, and they run, run, run, and hardly ever pass (because there is nobody to pass it to).
That being said - I felt like UGA is so one-dimensional that any decent D that can stop the run will beat them. ND is the closest thing to being able to do that, but I'm not sure they can stop them either. Pulling for the Domers though.

playing out that way. Despite those losses Georgia still has:
1) An elite QB (he's not Tua or Trevor, but IMO he's solidly in the next tier)
2) Possibly the best OL in the country
3) A running game that's really hard to stop and helps to open up the passing game for Fromm
4) A lot of really talented players from their last few recruiting classes including 5* WR George Pickens who has already flashed this year.

The announcers are praising him like the next joe Montana
ND and UGA are still on the same level as they were in 2017. A level below us

@TigerDominance®I think Brian Kelly will have ND ready to play Georgia hard. ND has elite DE's. The game in my mind will come down to how well ND stops Georgia from running the football. If they do a good job and put the leg humpers in 3rd and long - advantage ND! ND has a physical OL that will maul just as much as the big OL Georgia has. I just don't know about their RB production. The kid they had last year was good; not sure about this new starter. Book is capable of being a Bulldog "thrilla" Saturday night. If Georgia can't get to him enough; it could be lights out. I think they ranked in the triple digits in sacks last year; which will be a bad thing vs. a Brian Kelly offense this early in the season. It isn't bowl time where you have a month. He will have ND ready with some new stuff that will test the fundamental discipline of the Georgia defense.
I wouldn't be stunned to see ND win.

The Bee Bee Heads rank 120th in rush defense...

They gave up 266 yards on the ground to Louisville and 212 to New Mexico.
The Leg Humping Hydrant Chasers, on the other hand, have a great big ole offensive line and two pretty darn good RB's in D'Andre Swift and Zeus White. Behind those two are Kenny McIntosh, Brian Herrien and James Cook.
ND is probably going to load the box and make Fromm beat them with his arm but that may be akin to trying to stop a speeding freight train with one of those little Smart EQ Fortwo cars.

If we don’t want a 2 SEC team in the playoff situation we better hope this happens. Sadly though, Georgia is going to beat them soundly this year!
