WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE
These are just my thoughts on what you might see from each team today. I haven't been to any practices, or done any research other than what it took to write the last five posts, but from that work I've developed a few ideas. They could be totally off base, but maybe they'll shed a little light during the game.
UGA may focus on getting the ball to Moreno on offense, particularly on short passes. They won't have the time to drop back for long passes. Getting Moreno the ball in space will isolate him on some of Tech's inexperienced linebackers, and it will slow down the defensive line. They can then think about taking a shot down field later in the game.
Coach Paul Johnson will attack a weakness he saw on tap during his first drive. I'm guessing he's going to attack the edges of the Bulldog defense. The UGA DE's and outside linebackers haven't made a lot of plays this year, and the corner backs and safeties don't make a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage. If Tech can get Georgia to sell out against the run, watch out for Bebe Thomas deep down the side line.
Defensively Georgia may try to play tech like Boston College did. If the tackles can get good penetration at the point of attack they can disrupt the timing of the triple option.
Tech will depend on their defensive line to get in the backfield, hit Stafford, and get Moreno juking and diving before he gets to the line of scrimmage.
Expect a couple of turnovers on both sides, but if the Yellow Jackets jump out to an early lead Stafford may be forced to pass, which may lead to some rally killing interceptions.
Tech is the hot team coming into this game while the Dawgs are going to have to rally to keep pace.
