It appears we opened at +4.5 and it went quickly to +7.5 *

Anyone on this board that thinks a Mullen team is going to get beat badly by a mediocre Georgia team is stupid. I don't care how bad we looked last week, and I don't care how good Aaron Murray is. There is no way we lose this game by more than a touchdown, if we lose at all.I still think we win this game. Too many things have to change after this weekends game, and I don't seeour staff sitting idoly by.

If you guys will remember, we didn't look very good at this point last year, especially offensively. It took a 4thquarter TDpass against UGAfrom Relf to Arceto to really jump start things for this team going into the rest of the season. I'm thinking the same will happen from this overtime win, and the team will really start to bear down. Last night was a reality check, and I think they are going to take it personal this week in practice.

Running up the middle has not worked 2 games in a row. But we saw some stuff last night on some end arounds to Bump that we can be successful at. Bump, Heavens, Lewis, and Perkins all have SEC caliber speed in my opinion. I'm hoping our weak OL forces our staff to start using the areas outside the hash marks to our advantage.

WR screens, RB screens, end arounds, and WR options are things we can use offensively to take pressure off of our young OL, and it gets our playmakers the ball in much more low risk scenarios than chunking it all over the field with Relflike our staff apparently wants to do. Relf is not a playmaker throwing theball. But Bumphis, Lewis, and Perkins are all very capable skill men that can make things happen.

This will require Mullen toabandon his current philosphy of the QB being the most important guy on the field, which I'm not sure he would be willing to do. But I think it gives us the best chance to win.

They lost a few over the summer and have had a couple of injuries too. They're an injury away from holding tryouts for the line apparently.

Our O line has not been able to give Ralf ample time, nor open holes for the run.
They have got to produce...and now!
Georgia has some issues, but they are at home.

I hope that you are right...I think we can win, but ...This is a super important game for us this year.
