Georgia 2010
Today is Georgia's last pre-season scrimmage. The reports and stats from the scrimmages so far have been average at best. The offense has been reported to look good in spots and real bad in others. The QB and RB numbers have been a little disappointing but Richard Samuel rushed for 1000+ yards in the pre-season last year and we saw how that went. Its hard to get a good idea from scrimmages because its always been 1's vs. 2's under Richt and so many people are held out or limited. You just hope for some progress and few injuries.
The offense will be fine if the QB play is just a nudge better than Joe Cox (Thats a serious comment). If the O-line stays healthy there is no reason Georgia can't run the ball as good as anybody in the country. Murray needs to take care of the ball and let A.J. Green do a lot of work. A.J. Green is the greatest receiver in school history and will be gone in 5 months. Knowshon was a top 10 player and we didn't maximize his career. Just throw it up there so that doesn't happen again.
The LB's are going to be fine. Fast, experienced, and deep enough. The secondary is a spot of concern especially at safety. Three new starters and a safety spot that obviously nobody has taken by the horns. Hamilton hasn't stepped right in like everyone assumed and the other option is a guy who doesn't know if hes a LB or safety. Branden Smith hasn't progressed like I thought he would but Owens has been a huge surprise. As far as the D-line goes, I don't know. Theres not one guy that makes me feel great. But I don't know if they need to be great. Its a defense that requires a lot of gap eating and if its a former offensive lineman doing it or not I don't think you have to be David Pollack to get the job done.
Kicking can't be as good as it was last year. No possible way. It will still be really good.
Offensive standout other than A.J.: Orson Charles
Offensive breakout: Logan Gray
Offensive surprise: Marlon Brown
Defensive standout: Justin Houston
Defensive breakout: Daryl Gamble
Defensive surprise: Christian Robinson
The most important stretch of games is by far and away the Carolina-Arkansas series. If you lose both the season is almost over. You win both, 7-0 is a better chance than not. No Alabama or LSU but Auburn on the road. An earlier trip to Kentucky really doesn't help Georgia. 11 straight games without a bye week makes it tougher as well.
My Guess:
Louisiana-Laf: W 34-14
