"I texted James Spann every 30 minutes"😂 I've been worried about the weather for this game, all week.
Everyone one watching from other states are like who the hell is James spann lol
@@zzpittsburgzz3658James Spann is actually well known. When I lived in Texas I had several people talk to me about James Spann.
I'm no fan of Alabama but they've absolutely been Georgia's only kryptonite over the last 4 seasons, and can't be picked against until proven otherwise: Alabama over Georgia
What does the past have to do with this year?
Dude, bama is not scoring 41 points
@@chrisshields5448😂😂😂 come on bro. Really???
@@chrisshields5448 they said that in the SEC CG in 2022. Bama blew em out bad. And had UGA been rightfully left out of the playoffs after taking such a beating, and Bama losing their top two WRs, Bama would have another trophy.
More like the last 16 years, 8-1 since 2008
Don't have a dog in this fight, but it's gonna be awesome! Meanwhile, OSU avoids a top 25 team for another week....
Roll Tide! Exactly right. This type game is what makes college football fun, regardless of anything post season
As a lifelong UGA fan I can tell you this means more than playoffs since we were 1-5 against bama during the Nick era. That being said we will never get another chance since he retired. I also think he needed to retire he looked tired and made a hell of a run.
I think the key to the game is how well Georgia runs the ball. If Georgia is able to grind 4.5-5 YPC consistently on an Alabama run defense that has been mortal thus far, it will set up Carson Beck to take advantage of some mismatches against Bama’s inexperienced secondary and allow Georgia to efficiently move up and down the field with consistency.
I think Georgia has the best defense in the country right now when they get their main defensive line guys back. The lack of DL depth on the field against Kentucky showed but I think it was a one game thing due to the unique injury situation we had in that game that won’t be apparent again, similar to Alabama’s OL vs USF. Georgia has been great at preventing big plays and Alabama hits big plays better than anybody. Talk about an unstoppable force vs immovable object.
I’ve picked Georgia to win every game since our last regular season loss in 2020 against Florida. I think Georgia is more than capable of winning this game, they’re favored for a reason and for the first time in these matchups have the better head coach. Alabama’s looked on great both sides of the ball for 9/12 quarters, and Georgia’s started insanely slow offensively twice against P4 teams, Georgia seems to miss Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey desperately, Georgia’s OL has underperformed and now will be without their best player, and Carson Beck has struggled in road environments and now he’ll be playing in the toughest road environment of his career. For the first time in nearly 4 years, my head is telling me to pick against my Dawgs. I think it’s fairly low scoring to start, both offenses pick it up in the 2nd half, but ultimately Bama, through Jalen Milroe’s arm and legs, creates a few more explosives than Georgia does. So (sadly), give me Bama 30-27 Saturday Night. Now excuse me while I go find somewhere to throw up.
I agree, we need to run the ball well. BUT.... we can not do this typical run up the gut, run up the gut, get 3rd and 7 and throw the ball for 6 yards like we did against KY. Bobo gets stuck in that pattern regularly. Go Dawgs!
No faith in the coach who hasn't lost a regular season game since covid? I'm all for fair perspective but this is a despicable showing on fanfare. I myself think there's a decent chance we lose the game but to make a declaration that Bama wins? For shame sir for shame. I can't imagine your proclamations if uga was a normal team who hasn't been on a historical run.
As an Alabama fan, I love that Georgia is favored in this game.
As a big Bama fan and I am picking them to win by 4, 27-23! But I am fearful of winning during the season and getting put out of the playoffs by Ga. In the playoffs. Both teams have to stay healthy to keep up with Texas and OSU! Much respect for Georgia and it could go either way but, Bama will be able to run the ball, but I’m not sure we will be able to sustain long drives vs Ga.
Kirby is the ultimate competitor. I trust him to have his team ready to go and take this game.
Georgia vs Alabama last year drew in 17.5 million viewers per in game minute and peaked at 22.5 towards the end of 2nd half. it was the most watched game next to Ohio State vs Michigan for 2023. anytime they play, everyone stops what they’re doing and watches. we know Georgia vs Texas, Ohio State vs Oregon, and Alabama vs Tennessee all exist, but you gotta get to Georgia vs Alabama first.
Gonna be a great game ROLL TIDE 🐘
Georgia fan here. This is the time to create a buzz for Ga. They are evenly matched they know each other and had a week off before the game. If Kirby can't muster up 1 or 3 points to beat Bama. Then he will always be in their shadow. Ga will be the Buffalo Bills next to the 49's when they had their run.
For those wondering about GA based off the Kentucky game, might I remind you that Kirby took a page out of ole Nicks playbook in terms playing a little off the game before the major game. It’s a Jedi mind trick, people. You’ll see.
No coach does that. They play to win.
That’s not true. It’s not talked about and if you ask them, they’ll give you coach speak. But coaches absolutely avoid putting stuff on tape leading up to big games. I’m not saying that’s the case here, but it absolutely happens.
Let me follow up by saying I have personally heard a coach say “we can beat them without giving that look”
I always laugh when armchair keyboard coaches act like they’re in the minds of the actual coaches. Kirby did not draw up some vanilla gameplan to beat Kentucky by 1 pt. Kirby also isn’t some offensive mastermind where he needs to hide plays lol. Bobo definitely isn’t that guy. Kirby is 1-5 against Bama and has never pulled new plays out of the book. He relies on a suffocating defense and being able to run to set up the pass
@@jrcrit8843 I’m certainly not arguing he did. I am telling you I have firsthand knowledge of that very statement being made by the head coach of Big South Conference team. Not sure if you were responding to me or not. But it does happen. I personally just think Bobo is an average play caller.
24/7 has Bama with the #1 roster. Bama is hungry and focused and in Bryant Denny. Enough said.
I'm rooting for Bama all the way, but Georgia is like Auburn. You don't know what team is going to show up to play on either side.
Georgia is going to be coming in on that struggle win vs. Kentucky, and be looking for a huge win.
Bama is still getting use to a new coach and staff.
It's going to be a good game no matter what.
Let's be real. Both of these teams are equal and both can pull out the close win. This will come down to which team can stay out of their own way.
Saturday can't get here fast enough.
Bama has a weak secondary. They are young and this swarm defense is too complex. There has just not been anyone to expose it yet. Georgia’s secondary is going to be something Bama hasn’t seen. Bama may have some running luck but that is about it. Expect Bama’s sack issues to continue.
Lmaooooooo
Talk is cheap
Bama's dbs are a weakness but I don't think swarm is any more complicated than what Saban was running Bama just doesn't have the depth on defensive line to stonewall teams for the entire game. Georgia's secondary may the best they've seen but vice versa Georgia hasn't played a team with the playmaking ability like Bama's and the last 2 times they did play a team with legit playmakers they gave up 41 both times 2021 SEC Championship and the Playoffs vs Ohio State. The last question is Georgia's defense better than it was last year because I believe Bama's offense is better this time especially on the offensive line.
I love the 1-5 argument because it's acting like other coaches have dominated alabama.
And that 1 win came when it mattered
the Bulldogs have won 42 in a row during the regular season
As a georgia fan, im nervous
As a Bama fan, I am, too. This game could honestly go either way. Who shows up? Who has the better game plan? Who can make the adjustments? Who can avoid the penalties? Both teams are elite.
@@sdsouthern As a Texas man, do y'all's husbands watch football too?
@@mikedennis8109😂
@@mikedennis8109 LMAO
@@mikedennis8109 You will find out soon little horn.
If Bobo doesn’t make the trip, I like our odds a little more.
If Alabama does not stop Georgia, then Texas could stop them. Tennessee might, but I am too doubtful for them.
the Bulldogs have won 42 in a row during the regular season
@@dawgdayz4884yeah. Then the SEC East was dismantled lol
"There's stuff that mattered long before playoffs were ever a thing." Just speakin' it real 😎
That G doesn’t stand for greatness
BAMA has been UGAs Achilles heel for many years.
This year too? Wow. He predicted the future
Thank goodness we have the new playoff format, so it really isn't going to affect the losing team a great deal as long as they keep winning the rest of the year. Your season is still alive. Would love to have the bragging rights though since I live in Georgia. Roll Tide!
There’s definitely meaning to this game and anyone who says different isn’t a fan of college football.
Huge Dawg fan but if the dawgs offense show up Iike they did vs Kentucky we gettin clapped by atleast 3 possessions.
Maturity and experience of KLaw and Prentice will make a difference, even if just for a handful of touches
Give me Bama 24-20 as UGA fan 😢
Key to the game for me is if Bobo & Kirby will play conservative offense like they always do against Bama. If they do that, it’s a loss.
Only way to be successful against Bama is to open it up and pass downfield fearlessly. They let Beck to that all last season then balled up in a shell in the SECCG.
As a Dawg fan, I’m nervous. I don’t think it has greater than a touchdown margin, but I hope that they contain Milroe and win on the last possession.
Roll Tide from Naples Florida
Georgia is a bit weaker this year. Bama by 3
Depends on which Milroe and O line shows up for Bama. Bama still has Tennesee & Georgia at Texas. Both on Oct 19 and both away games.
This game absolutely does matter. But to think that the script wouldn't be re-written in 2.5 months should they meet up again in the post-season is unwise. It won't be this season (it's the first of the 12 team playoff) but give it a few years. The expanded playoff will eventually condition college football fans to disregard these games - in general - down the line. They will eventually have as much juice as a divisional game in the NFL, but probably nothing more.
This game hinges on whether or not Bobo can get his head out of his ass. We have the players with the talent but Bobo is not an elite play caller.
Did you watch film the last game? Did you see how bad the Oline played? How off Carson Beck was? How the perimeter blocking by TE was terrible? He dialed up 5 or 6 home runs and they were all missed or stopped due to a player not getting the job done.
The play caller is put in a box when that stuff happens.
@@ChaosKLC What I saw was, 1st down= run up the gut. 2nd down= run up the gut. 3rd down= run routes that end 1 yard shy of a first down and throw it. Yes, there were some missed opportunities but the play calling never allowed our offense to form any sort of rhythm. Here's to hoping that got corrected in the off week.
I absolutely can not stand that a 12 team playoff could have 2 teams playing each other twice or even 3 times. Not good for tv or the conference!
i’m a little hurt by you saying they owned Georgia… They won by 3 points…
I figured Georgia would’ve been over their mental funk against Alabama and yet last year they proceeded to embarrass themselves in Saban’s final game and Alabama’s weakest state yet. Idk what to think anymore other than chaos.
I’m picking Alabama by 4-6 points. But I would rather lose this week, bc it will be twice as hard to beat them in the SecCg and or playoffs. I’m going to be pissed if they put us out of the playoffs. Remember how hard it is to beat a team twice in one year.
Love ya Josh but you’ve been around football long enough to know that bobo will do the exact opposite of what he’s supposed to do. Tackle on the perimeter? *runs up the middle all night
Yep. Him & Kirby have never proven to me that they’re willing to fearlessly pass downfield and that’s the only way to beat Bama.
This is the most tired talking point of all time. It just gets parroted over and over by a ppl who either don’t really watch the games. Or simply don’t understand the game.
@@ThemDawgsIsHellDontThey not to mention Carson doesn’t have time to wait for anything to develop. Our dline is gone as well
the Bulldogs have won 42 in a row during the regular season not to shabby for bobo as long as ol does its job.
As a dawgs fan- I’m worried at think Bama wins this one but go dawgs
Track has changed more to the west 😂
Kendrick Law is going to make plays, and a tight end gets a score or two.
Let the big Dawgs eat. Go Dawgs!
As a Georgia fan, Alabama +2 is the freest money in the history of football.
I’m sure you said that before
Can Bama overcome Milroe?
Dan lanning has nowhere near the athletes on defense in Oregon that we have in Georgia lol.
31-20 should be the final score Georgia winning
3rd downs will be key in this game, tackling for alabama, special teams will be key....and if nothing else proves to be true, jalen milroe plays like the best player on the field bama wins against anybody
Hell if a three point win is owning your opponent I guess we owned Kentucky a week ago
GA's gonna roll Bama up like a pretzel.
What's your wager?
I missed it again! Will someone tell me how old Ryan Williams is??
13
I think he’s a 36 year old male feminist
Owned Georgia a week later?? Since when is a 3 pt win owning your opponent?
Carson Beck had 4 passes that should’ve been intercepted, Alabama completely dominated Georgia at the line of scrimmage on both sides and played real conservative in the second half
Bama gets EXPOSED
Josh picking Bama wasn't a surprise, as I don't think he's ever picked Georgia in this matchup, and I get it. Kirby, by and large, hasn't been able to flip the script against Bama so far in his tenure. I do, however, think Josh is over hyping DeBoer's wins over Lanning because:
A) As mentioned, Lanning isn't Kirby
B) Oregon doesn't have the players Georgia has on either side of the ball
C) Milroe is a competent enough QB, but Michael Penix Jr. he ain't
That said, as an optimist as well as a Georgia fan, I think my Dawgs get it done Saturday night. It'll be a four-quarter fight, as these games almost always are, but I think Georgia finds that spark they've been missing and plays up to their potential, securing the W.
If I were to slap points on it, I'd say Dawgs by 10, but that comes with the caveat that I think they'll only be up 3 until about midway through the fourth quarter.
24-21 DAWGS
Bama!
Roll Tide!
What did Bama players say?? I missed that 😏🙄🤥
Georgia 42-34
O line vs d line. Bama wins
Seriously only people from Alabama and Georgia know how much this game means when these teams meet it can be for scrimmage it just means more
Not really, they’re the 2 best programs in the country rn by a considerable margin, that’s just power politics. An Assyrian general from 3,000 years ago can understand that. Ion know why y’all try to push this like LSU Bama.
Good thing Dan lanning hasnt won shit. Dawgs by 20
Bama fans he's selling y'all fantasies ain't no way in hell Georgia going to have two bad games in a row not under Kirby who learned from who Nick...
Pretty sure the Tide will win. Alabama will find the cracks in the Dawg defense and exploit it all day.
Clemson a opponent? Kmsl
Wow ga going to win just watch
Blah blah blah Kentucky Blah Blah....UGA by 10
GA ain't play any1 yet. Cupcake schedule
As a Bama fan I can say definitively neither has Bama.
U r the first person to say we have a cupcake, have you looked at our schedule?
Oh yea GO DAWGS
Bama rolls...
Great analysis…
I don’t understand bama fans. Acting like Georgia doesn’t have a chance. Saying they don’t have a good offense. Even thought we have the projected first round pick at qb, a top o-line, and one of the best running back rooms in the nation. Get ready for a surprise guys.
Of course UGA has a chance… they are literally favored. (Bama fan here btw)
Only crazy Bama fans think that.
Same as crazy Georgia fans thinking the same thing.
@@jamesbizzell7489 I agree, anyone who thinks this game will be decided by more than 7 is crazy
Those kinds of Bama fans are delusional and possibly band wagon fans. True Alabama fans never underestimate Kirby Smart. He was our DC for 8 seasons. We know what he's capable of. With that said, there are weaknesses on both sides.
Carson Beck, from the games I've watched, seems to panic under pressure. It hasn't lead to turnovers. Yet.
Defensively, injuries for both teams. Alabamas secondary was sorta exposed by USF. If they had an actual QB like Beck, Alabama would've been torched in that game. USF missed a lot of open receivers. Wisconsin ran the ball effectively but not enough to stay in the game. So yes. Both teams have a chance team. Both are built to play each other. Has been since Smart got there. Neither has a greater advantage over the other. Anyone who actually thinks that, is delusional and should rewatch all previous games of Alabama vs Georgia.
Georgia fans must hate they have to play a couple good teams during the year now.... they've been used to have only playing one ranked team a season because they're playing the weakest division in the country in the east ..awe they might have to sweat a little . 😅😅 so overrated
.you should really watch college football sometime
you aren't very smart are you?
@Berley_1234 this guy is crazy? Where is this Bama tough schedule? At least UGA has schedule Oregon and Clemson non conference. If the SEC east was weak, what has the west been? LSU has been avg since the 2019 season.....was avg before that for years! Auburn has been down, Texas A&M? 😂 Arky 😂.....who? I will give you Ole Miss, but counter with Tenn and....and Missouri from the East over these past 4 years! Ppl are crazy!
Yiu're basically telling us you're a casual without telling us that you're a casual. GA has ended up playing more ranked teams than any other team in college football over the past 3 years. 😁
@Berley_1234 ummm lol ... I have season tickets.....I have season tickets on the 50-yard line LMFAO go to every game every year for the last 15 years...... I know a whole bunch of football players I know the whole team I know the coaches yeah let's not even go there lmfao.....
1:47 Gotta Love what he just said..... good offensive Alabama and defense at Georgia that just doesn't allow that...... bro they played three games..... and they played nobody.. say that in about a month and then I'll believe you
They’ve been good at limiting explosives the past few years. Btw, we played “nobodies” like Clemson & Kentucky.
Bro took it personal. Chill dog it’s just college football talk
What have bama folks and bama players say? Im confused at 13:05
Agreed??? I follow this stuff enough that I should’ve heard something lol Is he just talking about fans trash talking?? Cause that goes on everywhere. And unless I totally missed it, all I’ve heard from the players is classy remarks on GA? Confused as well. Gotta support a claim like that!🤦🏻♂️😂
