tomorrow.
I'm probably the biggest homer around, and I would love to see Georgia right the ship. Without A.J. and with our players still learning the defense, it's too much for me to predict that the Dawgs will go into a hostile environment and come home with the W.
I do think that our team can get much better, though. Put all the pieces together (Caleb King, AJ Green, a healthy offensive line, a couple of good breaks on defense and a little bit more creativity on offense) and Georgia could actually run off a string of victories.
Here's hoping that our streak starts tomorrrow.

Battle of the Bands Prepares Fans for Bowl
It's the Dawgs vs. the Aggies this afternoon. Should be a great game.
I don't know if there will be a Dawg Walk before the contest, but the UGA band has already been gearing up for the game.
Predicting a Georgia win. I don't know how it will happen. We have no defensive coordinator. There has been a ton of upheaval in the program. We're playing a lot closer to their place than to Athens.
When you're in hostile territory, you stick to basics. Georgia should establish the run and keep after them with Caleb King and Washaun Ealey. Take the crowd out of the game and keep their fast-paced offense on the sidelines.
Dawgs tough it out, 35 to 24.

There are a number of good stories out there that will help Dawg fans savor the win over Tech a little bit longer. The article immediately below is from the ABH.

Update on Rambo
Good news. It was just a concussion.
"Just a concussion" doesn't sound right, because concussions are so serious. But compared to what it could have been, I think everyone is relieved to hear of the diagnosis.
Below is the article from the Red and Black.

Rambo and Recap
Dawgs Win!
Another UGA vs. Auburn game. Another contest that went down to the wire. Georgia escaped with a 7 point victory, 31 to 24.
Auburn went up two touchdowns on passing plays. Their guys looked wide open and things did not look good.
Georgia responded. The team showed the same never-die resolve that it had early in the season when Georgia seemed to always come back in the game after allowing the opponent to first get ahead.
UGA mounted a furious comeback. Somehow, Georgia got Joe Cox going throwing the ball, shifted the running game into gear, and scored with our special teams. When was the last time that happened?
Cox was accurate on a couple of throws. He hit Israel Troupe and Tavarres King for long passing strikes. He was even lucky on one play, when a ball thrown over the middle, without much zip, and almost a sure interception, went right through an Auburn defender's hands and ricocheted to Orson Charles.
In good news for Georgia's ground game, the offensive line started to open up holes. Washaun Ealey showed incredible balance and drive on a spinning whirling dervish play down to the one. He managed to squeeze into the endzone on his next run. Caleb King got into the act and scored on a short touchdown run.
After Georgia managed to get the lead, Auburn came right back with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Georgia received the ball, but was not able to move the football effectively.
Auburn tried to pass the ball down the field, and UGA came up with a play. Our front four collapsed the pocket, and the Auburn quarterback made an off-balance throw. Reshad Jones pulled in the interception, and Caleb King made them pay with a 20-yard+ touchdown run.
Auburn still had a chance to tie it. They ran the ball down the field this time and moved it effectively. Time was getting away from them, however, and Auburn was forced to throw it. On the play of the game, Auburn's quarterback hit an Auburn player in stride at Georgia's two yard line. Bacarri Rambo hit the Auburn player in stride, too. The jarring hit separated their player from the ball, and what would have probably been a touchdown for Georgia, ended up as an incompletion.
After the hit, Rambo collapsed in a heap. His right arm seemed stuck straight up in the air. Instant replays showed the violent collision, and players for both sides stopped to kneel in prayer.
I'm not sure what the status of Rambo is. I immediately thought that he had broken his collarbone, but then that didn't seem right either. I did know that his shoulder and neck received an incredible blow. There are sure to be updates, which I will link for the sake of the record.
After Rambo's injury, Auburn seemed out of sorts. Georgia recorded a sack. One of their linemen jumped and they were moved back 5 yards with a false start penalty. And on the next-to-last play, Auburn threw for the endzone.
Great-looking pass. In the far corner of the endzone. Very close, very accurate, and I wasn't sure right away what had happened. But somehow our players knocked the ball away.
Joe Cox took a knee and UGA won. Fantastic game.

Q&A with Thomas Davis
Great piece from the Sporting News. Davis thinks that UGA could be the sleeper in the SEC, with guys like Joe Cox, Richard Samuel and Caleb King getting a chance to show what they can do.
Davis also discusses his transition from safety to linebacker, his relationship with Rennie Curran, and other topics.

Fresh Faces, Fresh Options
Richt says he is going to play all of his skill guys. The freshmen are going to see the field.
That's good news to me. If the guys are ready, let them play. But the bigger issue, more than the total number of guys that play, is the schemes we use with the 11 on the field.
Our offense needs a makeover.
The pro-style offense is good when it works, but stopping Georgia should never be about keying in on one runningback. That was Florida's focus last year on defense. By shadowing Moreno, they for the most part made us one dimensional and shut us down.
Now that we have strength on the offensive line, let's put in new packages. I want to see skill guys going in motion, confusing the defense, stretching the field horizontally and vertically. Let's insert Washaun Ealey at tailback, and let Caleb King take the snap. Go with 5 wideouts. Run the option with Logan Gray, Richard Samuel being the dive-guy, and Carlton Thomas taking the pitch.
With fresh faces, come fresh options for Coach Richt and staff.
