i dont like yalls chances for multiple reasons:
your running game is your best weapon and we help asu to 4 yards on 19 rushes. that is absurd
JPW always chokes big SEC games and hasnt impressed me at all
A.J Green just had a huge game and should carry that momentum (i do think julio jones is unreal too)
Stafford always steps up in big games and finds a way to win.
ITS IN ATHENS. GAME DAY WILL BE THERE THE CROWD WILL BE NUTS!
Knowshon moreno is very good, but so is yalls front 7. that will be the matchup of the game.
I love yalls o-line. we will have to send men to put pressure on JPW who doesnt do well under pressure.
Georgia has much more successful big game experience than 'bama
It will be a good game
24-20 UGA

Dream on. Ga doesn't play with the fire that Bama, LSU and even Auburn do. Without Moreno Ga is an average team at best. The middle of the line of scrimmage when Ga is on offense belongs to Bama. Mt. Cody will create pressure in the middle where he will have to be double teamed the whole game. Just ask Arkansas's All-American center. Cody is a force to reckon with, and this allows the rest of the D-line to do more. Julio is on the rise and will see more action next week. The boy is all business and not all show and hype, unlike moreno. We'll see Moreno fly through the air next week but not the way you want. Ala-28 Ga 10

And yes it is in Athens and Gameday will be there but I honestly believe that Bama has the best coach in the country and if you think he doesn't have a plan and thought this game out, you are sadly mistaken. The home crowd maybe your best weapon. But what I've seen from Ga is a team trying not to lose instead of playing to win. If you don't believe me watch that South Carolina game again. No heart against a rival, a team that dreams of beating you, and you let em hang around. I think Ga players will have their head on their shoulders but leave their hearts in the locker room. Bama has nothing to lose but everything to gain. Oh yeah and we got revenge on our side.

tell him bama fans, make a believer out of ugadawg24! What's the difference between a dynasty and a wannbe?? A state line and 11 national championships!

Evidently they have short memories. They seem to be forgetting that they escaped out of T-Town with a win just barely last year. The difference this year is that they still have the same team and we are much improved. I really want to see Moreno hurdle Mt. Cody. Oh and McClain and Hall will be waiting at the summit. Stafford might also want to bring his serious running shoes as he is going to be on the move - a lot. And I hope their defense likes hot Coffee. With a little Ingram mixed in.

This isn't ASU or South Carolina they are facing. But a REAL team.

I ain't scared of no Dawgs.

Don't be so impressed with your performance, Arkansas is the new Vandy eanking just above MSU. I think that the Bama LSU game in Tiger stadium will be anticlimatic. You guys are getting better but I think that if you look back at last season and compare your first 5-6 games to your last 5-6 games you will see what i mean. I seem to recall that the Tide rolled for the first part of the season last year too. Time will tell. They will be legitimate contenders in the west soon but their is another team in the west that is racking up big time recruits as well. Don't get tunnel vision Tide fans. Take it a game at a time. Good job so far, but if you have ever attended a game in Tiger stadium you certainly know why the nation has dubbed it the harshest environment to play in College football. Now add the fact that Nick Saban will be coashing the opposing team and you will find a recipe for disaster for the Crimson Tide. Good luck with the rest of your schedule save the LSU game. If you continue on your current path I see you guys in the Cotton Bowl this year.

wow, jumping all over your alabama bandwagon after just four games, i mean, don't get me wrong, the offensive and defensive lines are good, and that's UGA's weak spot, but if Georgia's able to not get penalized i can honestly see this game becoming not as close as people think. Comparing the two offenses is the first obvious point, granted, Julio Jones is great, but so is AJ Green, and as he progresses, it'll just make Mohammed Massoquoi even better. And Moreno vs Coffee, are you even serious, Phil Fulmer could have run against Arkansas's defense, i mean, don't get so pumped after that performance. And lastly, JPW can't perform in the clutch, his only last second wins...have been against arkansas, who isn't that great at all, and Stafford is beginning to realize that he doesn't just have to toss the ball as hard as he needs to, even though that sidearm scares me every time. Because of the lines, it gives the game some life, but there's no way that Bama's running game will go against that front seven for georgia, i mean, have you seen rennie curran, he had to have made about five straight tackles against arizona state. Oh yeah, and i'll give you the fact that you blew out arkansas, but two interceptions returned for touchdowns on passes that anyone, and i mean anyone, could have caught, that second throw for one was one of the worst passes i've ever seen. So, i'm feeling like all that, plus it being a home game, equals a not so tough game. UGA wins, close at the beginning, run away in the third quarter. UGA- 31 Bama- 20

Alabama couldn't hang with Florida. Florida has half a dozen players faster than anyone on Bama's roster.

By the way, your homerism shows strong. You say that Florida only has Tebow and Harvin, yet more Florida players have scored than Alabama players.

11 different Gators have scored on offense. Only 7 different players have scored for Alabama.

Right now, Florida has a better defense than Bama, better special teams, better receivers, and a better QB.

As a matter of fact, I have been to Tiger Stadium. 3 Different times. And as I recall, Bama walked away with 3 different wins from there. I agree it is a magical atmosphere and we Bama fans love it - it has been very good to us. I would be more concerned if we were playing in Tuscaloosa where LSU owns us.

And don't you guys get to much tunnel vision. LSU hasn't been tested yet - beating a nearly hopeless Auburn team (and having to come from behind against the same team that won 3-2 against that powerhouse MSU team) does not make the Tigers invincible. You guys got to get past Florida and Georgia before you start you can start beating your chest too much.

And lastly, lets not forget that you NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP team barely got out Tuscaloosa last year also. And ya'll are a whole let less than you were last year. And we are the same folks plus better folks. We will be there soon.

BTW, I'll take Saban over the Hat all day long.

First of all CenLA, Bama has the upper hand playin at big and bad 'ol tiger stadium... but that's not even the topic here. You UGA fans think you will score 31, or even 24 on this defense? Call Tommy Bowden and see if he agrees with that statement! Saban has these boys so focused, it 's amazing. I think they have finally learned to take it one down at a time. I'd like to know the feeling in UGAs cnter has in his stomach when he watches game film of that monster he'll be facing! They had better put the double team on... Remember, games are won in the trenches, no matter what heisman hopeful you have in the backfield ( the USC- Texas ncg comes to mind). Don't think Saban will let these boys forget how they let the game slip away last year. Motivation 1, psyche 0. Iwill say it may be a close game, but don't think you're playing a slouch. The Tide will be ready, just hope you are.... RAMMER JAMMER, YELLOW HAMMER, GIVE 'EM HELL ALABAMA!!! ROLL TIDE!!!

Yep a proud Bama homer. Never said otherwise.

Special teams better? Better check Javier Arenas' stats. And true, maybe you have 4 more score on offense, but we also have a couple of scores on defense. I believe he is only 12 yards (224, 1 TD) less in total return yards than James (236, 2 TD). Not a great deal of difference there the way I read it.

Speaking of defense, better look a little closer at those rankings. Even against the low-level teams you have been playing, you are only a spot or two up the national rankings over us. We will see how that progresses.

As for Tebow and Harvin being your only weapons, how many RB's do you have that have gone over 100-yards? Who was the leading rusher on your team last year?

Hopefully, we will compare notes in Atlanta in December ;)

You are right, we did punt Arkansas. All over the field. And your SEC opponent - South Carolina, how did that go?

Ask the Remington Winner Luigs how good AU's defensive front is. They thought they could block Cody just one on one. Notice by the end of the first they were using 3 guys to try and block him. If South Carolina throttled UGA's offense, I figure we have a pretty good chance.

As for Coffee compared to Moreno, I will take the Coffee/Ingram combo all day over Moreno. Yeah he is flashy, jumps and dives a lot, but he can't run between the tackles. And he sure as hell can't put a shoulder down and run over anyone. Also, the way ASU (a PAC 10 team???) pressured Stafford, I think we will be able to do much more so with much better talent.

The reason those pix were so easy was because the Bama DB's knocked the receivers off of their option routes. So Green and Massoquoi better strap it up tight.

But it is all supposition at this point. We get all our questions answered Saturday. Just might not be the answers Georgia wants to hear.

Auburn 27 Alabama 13

Everyone seems to make a valid point until you factor in who each team has played so far in the season.I honestly can`t say one team has a decided advantage over the other.The only tie-breaker here may be Clemson.Although they didn`t look so good against us,they have looked great against everyone else they played.To me it was hard to gauge UGA against ASU because I don`t think any PAC-10 team could compete down south.(Even USC).There I said it,and I`ll probably get called an idiot for it but I honestly believe if the Trojans had to play LSU,Auburn and Fla.every year they would get their butts handed to them at least twice a year.Where was I? oh yeah,Bama is hungry,probably more so than UGA,but the dawgs are probably a more complete team than we are right now so in my humble opinion it will come down to one or two plays.The team that wants it the most will win it.The only way to find out for sure is to tee it up.Come on Bama, let`s show em who we are.

I think it should be a good game. During the spring I thought UGA's real weakness was at the reciever spot. Green has stepped up there. Then their line took a hit during the summer, and so far no one has really stepped up.

I think Bama's weakness in this game is big game experience. Yeah they beat Clemson this year. Big whoop. It was on a neutral field that was packed with Bama fans. So it was about as close to a home game as one can get. Now if they had done what they did in Death Valley I would have a little different opinion. Neutral site games suck in my opinion. Unless its the Bowl games.

I don't think Auburn is as bad as anyone thinks. Yeah they played like crap against MSU. I think they were looking ahead. They actually had pretty decent numbers against LSU. Well passing numbers deffinatly not running numbers. The D is as good as advertised. Charles Scott will lead the SEC in rushing barring injury.

Alabama has inconsistent QB it's been the same story for them for a number of years if you ask me. The last really consistent QB Bama has had was Jay Barker and that was a long time ago. Watts- nope, Zow- nope, Croyle - nope, Wilson- nada. Bama does have a great O-line though Andre Smith is another Orlando Pace. To say that Tubs has done Least with More than any coach in the SEC is just plain crazy. The guy has had more coaching turnover than damn near anyone in the SEC since he has been Auburn's coach. He is on his 5th O cordinator and 4th D cordinator since taking over.

I personally havn't though Stafford is all that great period. Moreno is the real deal though. He is a play maker. You say he can't lower the boom on anyone, but he hasn't had to, so why should he? His job isn't to find the defense its to find the end zone and he seems to be doing that with regularity. Prediction. UGA 27 Bama 24

Talk is cheap.. We will see after the game who is the pretender and who is the contender. You might rethink view on Moreno. Georgia has some issues but bama also has played no one. Saturday will reveal all..

"To say that Tubs has done Least with More than any coach in the SEC is just plain crazy. The guy has had more coaching turnover than damn near anyone in the SEC since he has been Auburn's coach. He is on his 5th O cordinator and 4th D cordinator since taking over."

Wildbill, that is exactly my point. Sure some of those are people that have left for greener pastures (although you have to wonder why the pastures were greener), but some of those had to fall on their sword to take the blame. Even as a Bama fan, it is easy to see that Auburn (in the past 10 years) has had more NFL-caliber talent than anyone in the SEC. The reason I say Tubby had done the least is that in those same 10 years he has but ONE SEC title and one undefeated season. If it is not the head coaching, then what is it? Both LSU and Florida have had head coaching changes in the same period and look at their results. Heck even Bama, with our coaching carousel managed to squeeze in one SEC title in 1999. I think if Auburn ever wants to be a consistent player in the national scheme then they are going to have to get over defending Tubby and recognizing that he will not be the coach to get them there.

Bama has no QB and the secondary is untested. The Arkansas win means nothing when you remember that Arkansas beat Western Kentucky and UL Monroe by a combined total of 5 points. Me and Hellen Keller could beat Arkansas by 30. UGA wins in a close one (if it can control its penalties), because it can actually throw the ball downfield.

not a Georgia fan at all but I hope the bulldogs kill Bama. War Eagle

It will be interesting to see if Stafford can throw the ball down-field while laying on his back. He certainly do it that well against South Carolina. ;)

But seriously, I think that will be the key matchup - Stafford & the passing game vs the Bama rushers and DBs. Like all real football games, the key is who can control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. No quarterback, no running back, is going to be successful without blocking. I may be wrong, but I like Bama's D-line versus Georgia's O-Line. And I give the edge to Bama's O-line over Georgia's D-line. That is where the game will truly be decided.
