I think GS will win. UGA got problems right now.

Big dumpster fire problems.

Originally signed as an FCS, contract was reworked after we went FBS which is why we are getting 850k this time instead of the 250k we used to get.

You can pretty much be assured we're getting SEC officials. I think all SEC home games have SEC officials, I can't recall recently seeing another team's conference officials on the field when playing at an SEC school.

That being said, the Sun Belt and SEC share a pool of officials I believe. Steve Shaw is the coordinator of officials for both conferences as well.

If we want to even pray to have a chance against UGA, we will need plenty of "non-standard" passes like this to keep them on their heels and not bringing 9 on a blitz.

BJ Johnson should be back for the UGA game, so there is hope.

I think there might be too much blame being placed on Ellison. We didn't forget how to pass during the offseason. We've lost our best receivers and our pass protection sucks.

I thought he was done for the year?

Coach Fritz said on the radio show last night that BJ should be good to go this week or next, he's had a quicker than expected recovery.

think Dobson is back as well this week

UGA has been less than dominating this year and the option can give them fits as it has in the recent past. If the Eagles can get an early lead the fans will turn on the Dawgs and make it more difficult, especially with no really good QB to make big plays. Expect UGA to run 80% of the time, stack the line and see if you can make them grind it out. Please win this game and I will have a field day with all the Dawgs and Walmart Dawgs around ATL. Richt would be a goner if the Dawgs lose this one.

Make it happen you creek swillin', high school offense running, Eagles! Beat UGA!

Johnson and Dobson are two of our playmakers on offense and defense respectively, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for the Eagles.

It was announced today that they are both healthy to play I believe

Visiting conference provides officials for home and homes. We had Sun Belt refs when we went to Missouri 2 years ago, and Miami last year.

Guarantee games though are usually provided by the home team.

That would explain it then. I was curious about where that line of thinking came from.

One of the things that sucks the most is that we run a similar offense as Auburn and they have us back to back.

I don't think this will help them that much. Auburn throws a lot and their QB is not much of a rushing threat. The bocking is executed differently too.

There's a reason they call them "guarantee" games.

We have used it since we restarted football with Erk. Uga recently started using it again. It's trademarked by the GA BOR i believe
