** MIDWEEK FOOTBALL CHIT-CHAT **

Loved this tidbit:

Last November, Auburn upset the Crimson Tide and won the SEC West. Auburn fans threw toilet paper in their trees and probably came up with some stupid name for the win. However, the moniker it will instead be remembered as is “The Iron Bowl That Didn’t Matter”. Alabama still went to the playoff and won the whole shebang. But wait! That game is the gift that keeps on giving. After the win and rumors of Arkansas trying to woo Gustavo Malzahn away from the west Georgia campus forced Aubie’s hand and they decided they could not live without him. Now they are stuck with the so-called quarterback guru/offensive genius, his big fat 7-year contract, and his $32 MILLION DOLLAR BUYOUT.

Once upon a time, Aubie quarterback Jarrett Stidham was trumpeted as a Heisman Trophy contender. On Saturday, he looked like another AU Heisman wannabe turned bust Jeremy Johnson, overthrowing wide open receivers on several occasions and producing only three field goals. The running game totaled 90 yards. But the blame is not all on Stidham. This offensive line is trash.

Is Alabama's offense scoring too quickly, thereby putting too much pressure on the defense?

Definitely the D is spending waaaay too much time on the field.  But DUH, wanna go back and take points off the board??

"Trust me, as an offensive player, sometimes it's even frustrating how fast we can score," tight end Hale Hentges said presumably with his tongue somewhere in cheek. "It's like, 'OK, let's get in a rhythm, let's get in a groove.' You throw a block and you're like, 'OK, that was one play.'"

I absolutely love how fast Bama is scoring this year. I would like to see the defense step up their game though. Has Cousin Tua even played in the 4th quarter this year?

Nope, Cousin Tua hasn't completed a 4th-quarter pass either!   

It seemed good to have the D get so much experience.  Good until Diggs got injured!  Unfortunately our DBs have played the entire games, so we aren't getting much experience behind the starters.

What about our kicking game???
Bulovas is missing FG's which scares me because will he miss a big one down the line to keep us from proceeding further? RTR!

Seems we keep getting kickers that are head cases.

Bulovas is capable; hope he gets it together.

I have NO IDEA how a college kicker can miss extra points.  There are MANY high schools that haven't missed kicks in several years.

I can't get my foot high enough to kick off a flip flop
 but I swear
I think I could made a couple of the missed kicks

Seriously, it's probably difficult to kick in college, because it has to be quick and the kick must be high.
But we used to take turns kicking field goals during high school football practice; just for fun.  My buddy was pretty good at kicking soccer style, even though our regular kicker was straight-on kicking.  It's just not that hard, especially straight on with a square-toed shoe.

Bama would be a 7-pt favorite if they played Ohio State this week, according to Danny Sheridan.

And Danny added that Malzahn is a considerable underdog to not complete his seven-year contract that he signed in December.

 

Good ole Danny, stirring the pot.

Lots of talking heads on ESPN and SEC Network saying Georgia will cover, winning by 10 or more.  Maybe.  But LSU is fighting for their season this weekend, and the game's in Baton Rouge, albeit not night.  I'm expecting a real war.  You?
 

BTW, UGA announced that DE David Marshall is doubtful for the game.  He's their best run stopper.  UGA's nose guard is also injured.

I expect the LSU offense to be totally inept against CKS's defense.  I have no idea how the UGA offense will do.

Yeah, seems like UGA has underachieved so far this year.  They've had injuries to their OL (ref in post above).  So, LSU may be catching them at a vulnerable time.  Still, with Coach O at the LSU helm, Kirby should win easily.

Yes, I almost posted the same thing earlier.  I don't expect LSU to score over 20, if they even get there.  13 may be more realistic for LSU, unless they get some NOTs.  But I don't expect Georgia to get out of the 20s either.

For sure this game will tell us whether Kirby's UGA can repeat as a powerhouse again.  Their young talent (FIVE 5-star players signed last year) will certainly contribute more as the season progresses.  And regardless of how LSU played against Fla, they'll play hard this week at home.

Anyone think that orange team from Knoxville can beat that orange cow college?
