Title: "Predictions for Week 2 by John Tamanaha" Post by: Chechem on September 05, 2012, 05:25:38 PM http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/05/predictions-101-week-2-2/
Quote 1) No. 7 Georgia at Missouri Sat., Sept. 8 — 7:45 p.m. ET, ESPN2 With nearly half of its starting defense out of uniform (four suspensions and one injury), Georgia was underwhelming in a 45-23 victory over Buffalo last Saturday. Mark Richt will need more hands on deck in Columbia to slow down the Tigers’ slippery spread led by dual-threat quarterback James Franklin. Missouri also deserves your attention in the other phases of the game, after reaching the end zone four times while the offense wasn’t on the field in its 62-10 smackdown over Southeastern Louisiana. Punt returner Marcus Murphy accounted for half of those non-offensive scores in the opener. Even with all that firepower on the opposite sideline, the Bulldogs still figure to set the pace. Junior quarterback Aaron Murray has a pair of senior wideouts to target and freshman running back Todd Gurley had an impressive debut last week with a TD hat-trick that included a 100-yard kickoff return. They’ll put the Bulldogs out in front and Jarvis Jones & Co. will make sure they stay there. Missouri defensive end Sheldon Richardson disagrees, but “old man football” still wins the games in this league. The pick: Georgia 27-20 ...
