What has to happen for us to upset Georgia this Saturday, besides us scoring more points than them?
How Can We Beat Georgia?
- Thread starter Fried Chicken
- Start date
Georgia has been slow starting games this season. I think getting up on them by at least two scores early and making them play catch up is the best way to beat them.
They have to help us out with turnovers.

Adhemar: And how would you beat him? Retired Knight: With a stick. While he slept. But on a horse, with a lance? That man is unbeatable.

That game is Georgia's only home loss since 2017. I doubt Kirby is letting them forget that this week.
We will beat them straight up…..what’s wrong with you wussies
Win the turnover battle. With the running clock you can't afford to lose possessions. I don't think they're explosive as they have been, so TOs for them will hurt worse. Just need to be closer to average running the ball. They're not great either, averaging 128 ypg.
And of course, drop yo nuts!

Bailey had a fumble late in the FU game. But that's the only TO we've had. We've gotten 3 INTs.
I guess what's wrong with us, is we watched the UNC game and you didn't?

Athens PD needs to do their job
They definitely have speed in Athens. They’ve proven that.
When I worked at USCPD, and an athlete was arrested or about to get arrested, top admin would swoop in and un-arrest them. And for us to actually arrest them knowing we be in trouble later, the players were pretty bad to the point where it was the only option. Yet the teams still sucked. This was Lou Holtz era.
We need Juice to be 100% and for Juice and Leggett to both have over 100 yards receiving. Rattler needs 350+ yards passing. We need to score at least 31 points...
It's UGA. Beck has looked pedestrian thus far, but I'm sure in our game he'll look like the second coming of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Dan Marino, all in one.
OL has to hold their own. DL has got to create pressure on passes and at least get in the way on runs.
Yep. The 2019 game and the 2000 game are evidence of that. Both were heavily favored UGA teams. In 2019 Fromm had 4 turnovers. In 2000, we picked of Quincy 5 times. Granted, this is a FAR better and more disciplined UGA squad than either of those teams. But whatever tiny odds we have of winning this game, it hinges on turnovers.
We have to play a clean game. I think the OL had 5 penalties against Furman, either holding or false start. We simply cannot afford to get behind the sticks against the #1 team on the road. Crowd noise will make it challenging, but we know the noise is coming, so we better prepared for it. There's no reason not to be prepared for noise.
We're playing with house money in this one. More than 3 TD underdogs. Get crushed and nobody cares (outside of us). Win and it's a fluke (outside of us).
The real test comes NEXT week. If we lose to MS St I can see the season going off the rails and possibly missing a bowl game. That's why I think it's super important to go ahead and get Baugh, Tree, Markee, & Mario meaningful snaps this week. Similar to using a donut in the on deck circle. Those swings after the donut are much easier.

If the defense is stiff enough to hold them to FG's or less and gets some TO's giving us some short field drives, we can win.
...and their home field crowd will be off the charts!! It's gonna be a long, long afternoon.
I guess you didn’t watch the Florida and Tennessee game last year. Every week is different. I’m from the old school I don’t give a damn who you’re playing you play to win.I guess what's wrong with us, is we watched the UNC game and you didn't?
I agree. I think the days of catching them off-guard are over. And, actually, we are primarily to blame for that. Kirby and UGA took that 2019 loss VERY personally. The fans, and it seems, the players all showed up that day expecting a fun, easy day at the park but ended up totally stunned. They just weren't focused or prepared and played a sloppy game. Since that loss to us, they have gone on an absolute TEAR at 46-4, with all 4 losses being to top 10 teams, 3 of them being top 5 teams. Two of the losses were to the eventual national champion. One of the losses was avenged in the national championship game. In short, since that stunning loss to us, UGA has clamped it down.
According to Kirby's comments in the past, that game really served as a wakeup call for them. And, boy, have they taken it to heart.
2019's loss to the gamecocks is Georgia's only home defeat since 2017. Kirby is nothing if not vindictive and has a memory like an elephant. Since that 2019 loss, Georgia has outscored Carolina 133-36 with two of three games played in Columbia. The Georgia fans remember 2019 like it was yesterday and their hate for Carolina is back to Spurrier days level. Rumors in Athens say Kirby and Beamer aren't the friends they pretend to be and Kirby basically ran Beamer off and doesn't care for him much.
Beck hasn't looked like a Heisman candidate but his numbers aren't bad. He is 44 of 61 with 3 tds and 1 int (off of a ball tipped by a WR) for 577 yds and 1 rushing td and he hasn't played in the fourth quarter of either game. I think the best way to stop Georgia is to stack the box and make Beck throw the ball. Georgia's running game has been pretty weak so far and making them one dimensional would give the gamecocks a chance to get some turnovers and maybe some points off turnovers. If Georgia can run the ball effectively, they will keep the ball for long scoring drives and it will be very tough to hang with them.
No more Satterfield game planning after Florida, that was the difference.
