Bama was set up in the right scheme....recievers were covered like a blanket....but texas a&m extended the play and made magic happen.
The questions is simply...does GA have the tools to make bama respect the running game? Does the O Line of GA give Murray enough time to throw downfield? If the answer is yes...GA has a chance . If bama creates pressure and shuts down UGA's running game, bama rolls this game easy.
The wild card is the Special teams of GA. Ga has a great return game. In a low scoring game, starting field possission by Ga could be a factor.
6 pt tease to bama -1 and the under. Cash your ticket. I can see this game being scoreless at the end of the first qurater. Bama will gameplan long drives and keep Murray off the field and the bama defense off the field. When it comes to executing the gameplan installed during the practice week... saban is in a differant leauge than Richt. Keep in mind, when Richt beat florida....he was playing for his job. I live in atlanta...trust me...he was.
