Wanted to get a thread going as UGA was (and is) a hotly discussed topic here. My initial impulse is Ga+3 is the potential play here. Everybody and their brother saw that debacle so public sentiment/perception is very low( rightly or wrongly is another issue). and everybody sees how SC laid 56 on ECU and figures it was a lopsided beating-w/out really looking closer-turnovers,etc... Hence,possibly two extremes of the sentiment spectrum.
However,we all know the multitude of issues for GA-including the possibility Murray has bruised ribs; hence,from a fundamental pt. of view I see SC as the superior team...and obviously,better coached(doesn't take much)...and just as motivated.
I welcome any discussion here. Early numbers reflect the sentiment as I'm seeing around 82% on SC-at SI.

Furthermore, was informed there were morale issues w/in the team and MR before the beatdown. Held a players only mtg. Sunday-alot of frustration,etc...Also,some of the players lashing out at Facebook and twitter responses,communications.

I live in Atlanta and I can tell you that Georgia and Mark Richt are in big trouble . They are simply outmanned and outcoached in this S. Carolina game, I honestly do not see anyway Georgia will win or even cover this game.
Besides home field what edge does Georgia have in this game ?

SC showed last week.. still has major holes in that defense..
Hard to gauge UGA based on top 5 team that is Boise.. esp. with new WRs, new RB, etc..
I live in Columbia and follow this this team very closely. South Carolina's defence does poorly against spread offenses with high powered passing attacks such as East Carolina. Last year the South Carolia defence was crushed by Auburn and Arkansas, but they play good against prostyle/smashmouth/playaction type teams. Stopping the run is South Carolina's strength. Going against an air raid offense is their weakness. I know it sounds strange, but Georgia's offence will be less effective than East Carolina's was because of their scheme. The East Carolina offence gets rid of the ball very quickly (only 13 sacks allowed last year) which negated a very good South Carolina pass rush. They also exposed the weakness of the defence which is the secondary against the pass. Keep in mind that South Carolina only had 5 players in the secondary that could play against ECU because of injuries and suspensions and that is against a team that throws the ball 75% of the time. People in Columbia expected ECU to put up a lot of points.

There is an old saying that goes "teams are never as good or as bad as they looked last week" ...this is one of those situations on both ends. Then you got the all of public riding high on SC.. what's it at now? 80+%...this is the perfect storm in my opinion.
I'm waiting till the very end for the line to just keep rising like a kids lost balloon and then I am hammering down hard on Georgia. See you at the bank

In my week 1 post (3-1), I noted that Georgia could be looking ahead to this weeks South Carolina game. It seems that South Carolina was also looking ahead. The difference is that the Ole Ball Coach, set his team right at half time.

Dead....what is your outlook ? Understand two players will be back. Thx.
South Carolina plays a base 4-2-5 type base defence with a "spur" player that is a hybrid LB/safty. DeVonte Holloman plays this position. Holloman started at safty last year and moved to the spur position in the off season. Holloman was suspended for the first game agaisnt ECU because of a DUI. Holloman is perfect for this position because of his size and speed. He is about 6'2" 230. His backup at the spur spot stepped up into the starting line up and had 16 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown. Allen is expected split time with Holloman against Georgia and Holloman will also see time at LB in dime packages against Georgia. Holloman may possibly be moved back to safty to get him and Allen on the field at the same time, but Holloman is still practicing at spur for now.
Cornerback Victor Hampton is suspended for the first 3 games and will not play agaisnt UGA. This is not a huge loss. Hampton is good enough to get playing time, but he is not one of the top corners on the team.
Akeem Auguste is a senior cornerback who missed the first game because of an ankle injury. Auguste did not practice yesterday and was expected to pratice today (9/6). Auguste said that he expects to be able to play 15-20 plays against Georgia. Auguste playes a larger role in the defence than Hampton. Auguste is the second or third best corner on the team after Gilmore. Gilmore and C.C. Whitlock will be the starters at corner this week and Auguste should be able to play in nickle and dime situations.
Freshman corner Marty Mattox sat out the first game for acadimic reasons but will be able to play this week. Mattox is from Athens, GA and he is expected to get onto the field against UGA.
Depth in the secondary will not be a problem against UGA.

I expect USC to play a ball controll/field position tpye offense and lattimore will run the ball 30+ times. I expect lattimore to be successful running. I do not think UGA will be able to run against USC and will be forced to pass. I expect USC to win and to cover.

I expect a good amount of points, SC will run the ball and score a good bit, depending on how conservative they want to be pounding the ball but I think the PA will make big chunks happen that leads to scores. As for UGA, they should be able to score some too but they won't be able to run the ball and that will kill them with quick possessions and the clock staying still.. and SC will eat up the clock and wear that defense away

Good stuff. I imagine the loss of OLB Ogletree could loom large too.A walk on took his place and was adroitly exploited. Sign lack of depth at OL,RB and LB. This is probably one of the more high stakes games betw. these two and I wonder how UGA will handle the added pressure,turmoil re MR et all. I would be surprised if they handled it well. Alot of talk at players only mtg. Sun of the extent of SC trash talking -esp. Garcia-last yr and I could see this group playing out of control as apparently there was talk of retaliation and/or hurting somebody unfortunately.
