many experts pick UGA to possably win the national championship game, while most have tennessee as the third or forth best team in the sec east. i say history will repeat itself and ut will beat uga in athens for the third time in a row.


NOPE! sorry your more then likely wrong. Knowshon Moreno is a sophmore and the first freshman back since Mr. Hershal Walker to get a 1,000 yard season. Stafford has improved every year and this should be his breakout year. If you play NCAA 09 on Xbox 360 or PS3, you will see UGA is #1. The Bulldogs are returning 17 starters from last year???s 11-2 team, that won seven straight finished the season ranked number two in the country. Everything seems to be in place for a run at both the SEC and national championships.Tennessee lost their starting QB Erik Ainge. That's a BIG BLOW. UGA wins handedly.


a much fun as ncaa 09 is, a teams ranking in the game is hardly a valid reason to predict that they will win the game.
reasons why UT will win.
1) dominate secondary. morely returns this year and they have all-american canidate berry. they also return both of thier starting corners from last year in vinson and willingham, also vinson and berry were freshman last year so they will be better than last year, scary. so UT returns the same secondary that dominated stafford last year allowing him to only get small dinks and dunk, mostly after the game's outcome was already decided.
2) inexpirenced o-line. UGA's oline rotation doesn't include a single senior. they will be starting 4 sophmores.
3) UT's overpowering o-line. they return every starter from last years squad that allowed only 5 sacks all season (not including parker, he was hurt half of the season). UT will again be able to run all over the dawgs defense and, crompton will have plenty of time to throw the ball.
4)experienced and talented recievers. ut returns its top 3 recivers from last year in taylor (1000 yrds), rodgers(624), and brisco(557) and they add the talented FSU transfer brandon warren.


D- Line The Bulldogs are as tough as they come in the middle of their defensive line. Geno Atkins was first-team All-SEC last season and joins senior Jeff Owens to form an imposing tackle duo. Georgia has good depth at defensive end.

Runningbacks The combination of quarterback Matt Stafford and running back Knowshon Moreno might be the best in all of college football. Both players have been named Heisman contenders this pre-season and are key reasons why the Bulldogs are ranked in the top three in most polls. The two combined for 33 touchdowns last fall. Depth is strong with Caleb King and Joe Cox. Fullback Brannan Southerland is solid.

In his second season as starter, Stafford took a major step forward, throwing 19 touchdowns compared to just ten interceptions. Few quarterbacks have a better arm than the Texas-native. Stafford showcased his skills best in a 42-30 victory over Florida where he outdueled Tim Tebow.

Who is Tennessee's qb? ha

Last years defeat sparked the Bulldogs to win 7 in a row. I think they have that game on their mind and they will expose UT!


5) Ut's qb is a former highschool all american named crompton, you will get to know him shortly don't worry. he filled in nicely for an injured ainge against LSU gaining 183 yards and 2 tds and against arkansas 174 yards 2 tds. developed a great chemistry with his excellent recivers in the spring and he has 5 games to get in sync with them before thay face UGA so he will be battle hardened if he isn't already when that time comes.
6). Ut returns 14 starters from last years squad, morely who was a starter in 06 and warren who was a starter in 06 with fsu so UGA's number of starters is a wash as UT has 16 with starting experience
7) you forget UT's running back foster who is arguably one of the 5 best rbs in the country. he had 1200 rushing yards last year and 14 total tds. he runs behind the nations best o-line. he has success no matter who he plays against, including that LSU defense where he put up 100 all purpose yards against them and added 2 tds last year. adtkins is no dorsey, he won't fair any better.
8) stafford will struggle mightely against the talented UT secondary. because they are 1 that good and 2 who will he thorw to? his best returning wr had 300 yards last year.


The defense, which allowed 20.2 points per game last year, looks faster and deeper. Playmakers abound, starting with linebackers Rennie Curran and Dannell Ellerbe, safety Reshad Jones and cornerback Asher Allen. Yahoo.com


Stafford has a strong arm and is the 2nd best quarterback in the SEC. Stafford is considered to go higher then Tim Tebow in the draft. Stafford was picked by Mel Kiper to a number 1 pick a couple years back. No ****. Knowshon will run all over Tennessee. I think with a new quarterback UGA will dominate. They are pissed as hel* about last year and it was obvious bc it ruined their title hopes. They won 7 sTR8 after UT. UT is barking up the wrong tree this year. I think are secondary is pretty dam* good if not better than UT. We have a good quarterback, a sick runnningback, and solid D. That's all we need to beat UT. I expect UGA to be in the title game and if they don't a nice bowl. UT will lose 3 to 4 game this year.

Jonathan Crompton passed for 97 Yards ALL YEAR last season, 1 TD and 2 INT's. Where did you get your numbers from?

July 21, 2008  06:40 PM ET

crompton filled in as a freshman in 06

July 21, 2008  06:40 PM ET

he only played in garbage time last year

sorry to disapoint but UGA's secondary is not nearly as good as UT's. berry and morely are better thyan anyone you have, period. what makes you think that knowshawn will run all over UT? he had 30 yards rushing against us last year and he got the majority of the carries by a long streach. i really don't think from week 6 to week 7 he morphed into the hulk and became a completely diffrent player. you still didn't adress UGA's lack of recivers and their inexperience on the o-line.
Ut has a decent but not great d-line, and our line backers are lead by pre season all sec canidate rico mckoy. with our skill in the secondary we will be able to stack the line and clog your inexpirenced oline once again to stop knowshawn.
