Georgia Preview


The Rebels travel to Athens this week to face the ranked Georgia Bulldogs. After a relative down year last year these Bulldogs look improved. They still maybe a little overrated but they are a solid team that will give the Rebels trouble.


THE PLAYERS
Georgia has a great defense. A lot of speed that gets to the ball. They also do this thing called gang tackling as seen in the first picture. I don't think the Rebels know what that is. The Bulldogs are currently third in scoring defense and second in total defense. They've got good linebackers and are lead by Dannell Ellerbe.

On offense they have two solid running backs in Thomas Brown and Knowshon Moreno. Moreno actually leads the team in rushing at 85 yards a game. Which is a mis leading stat since the Predator is fifth in the league in yards at a 100 yards a game because of his one big game against Missouri. The Rebels are however sitting currently at 12th in the league in rushing offense with only 3.6 yards per carry.

THE HEEL
Georgia's biggest weakness is the inconsistency of starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. He will try to force the ball at times and can throw costly interceptions. Can be a tad streaky but when he's on he's got a great arm. He also likes to spoon guys as seen in the photo below but I'm not sure how that effects his play on the field.
