UGA -6.5 against Florida. Ehhhhhhh

lsu is better than people thought and florida is probably not as good as they look

counterpoint rivalry games are weird and the neutral site probably does georgia more favors than uf

idk i doubt florida can cover the spread much less win; they looked okayish at vandy, barely beat clanga, and they only edged out lsu by a td. georgia looked way more impressive before ed orgeron smacked them in the mouth

wut

a) UF is better than they look, because they’ve been inconsistent on offense but consistently rolling up yardage and putting up pretty solid point totals compared to years past

b) Jax is pretty solidly neutral or slight lean UF.

the idea wasn’t “florida is a bad team”; they’re not (definitely top 25, probably top 15) but uga is probably at least a touchdown better than them

as to the other thing, i think uf would do better in athens than uga would in the swamp so uga benefits from the game being in jacksonville

I mean OSU got blown out by Purdue and only dropped to #9 in the coaches poll so the precedent is already there

alabama has also been incredibly dominant in a way no other team has this season so i feel like the polls would forgive a misstep against lsu, especially if it’s by less than a touchdown

purdue is a way worse job if only because you’re living in bumfuck indiana

i also imagine recruiting is tougher because louisville has somewhat nice facilities iirc

And now we're gonna spend that money on our coach!

Seriously guys, I'm really not that emotionally invested in this. It just amazes me how little most people know about Purdue in spite of the fact its got 40,000 students, alumni who walked on the moon and even a gay airline pilot who is the son of the Chinese Gordon Ramsey......what has Louisville got to brag about? Huh? Those Duck Dynasty hicks?

none of those things have anything to do with football though

I have no idea what UGA is at this point, Florida can't pass so I don't consider them a real contender. Mullen is better than Smart though, Smart is going to need to maintain a talent advantage to win that matchup in the long run IMO.

s&p+ has florida at 14 and uga at 5; florida seems about right and uga seems kinda high

i wrote out a longer post but my phone ate it because iOS is terrible but the larger point was that regardless of where florida and georgia are headed in the future (spoilers florida Is going good places imo), uga by -6.5 is a reasonable line in light of where they are as of right now

Not stacking the box against a team that has thrown like 4 passes all year long.



yep.

how much tape do you have to watch before you know you should stack the box against a fuuuuuucking triple option team you see every year

Hollow Knight lets me game in small doses after my kids go to bed. I loved RDR but I don't have time for getting sucked into RDR2 now. If it ever gets a PC release I may not be able to resist, though.

If UVA beats Tech, do you think Fuente is toast?

eh

he put up a 10 win season and a 9 win season and even if he loses to uva he’d still be in position to put together an 8 win season; i think his seat is hotter going into 2019 than it would be otherwise but if he makes a bowl this year he should be okay

The radio guys said the defense lost 9 starters, 4 to the NFL.

Still, stack the box and make GT pretend to have a passing game.

agreed, that was more of a “the defense is underperforming in general” rather than an excuse for that piss poor playcalling from last night

Raku posted:

Could it be a personnel issue? Maybe VT's depth in the front seven is so bad they actually think they stood better with the full secondary in

even if that were the case, you could have the corners play on the line and have the safeties contain instead of playing 2 deep for no reason

georgia tech attempted one pass all game long; you gotta find a way to make adjustments mid-game so you’re not getting burned on 78 rushes at 6 yards a pop even if you’re thin on defense
