I read on Rex Robinson’s web page “roughingthekicker.com” where he called Arkansas, the other white meat and I added my recipe for some tasty Hog over in Ar-Kansas. I’ll repeat that recipe here –
Start off with a heaping helping of Rennie Curran
10-15 more touches by Richard Samuel
0 Directional kicks
2 WR (Brown and Wooten) added early in the “cooking” process
1 linebacker jamming their TE at the line of scrimmage
1 linebacker in coverage once the TE is released
Several doses of solid kickoff coverage
A pinch of positive turnover ratio
Stir in a little luck and season with mistake-free play to taste.
It is absolutely paramount to our efforts to get Richard Samuel the ball at least 20-25 times per game. We read all off-season how much stronger he gets as the time rolls on. We know he’s got speed. We saw last weekend that he has power. Why we are not giving him “the rock” early and often is a complete mystery to me. Okay, enough about that. We have to assume the coaches know what they are doing. They are intimately familiar with all aspects of the program and the players and for me, or anyone else to speculate is merely that – speculation.
In keeping with my “new way” of predicting these games, I have tossed and turned my thoughts in such a way that it may be what I write as a prediction, is a complete mess and makes no sense, but in the end will be closer to what happens than what I actually think might happen. Make sense? No? Good!!
UGA rolls into Fayetteville Arkansas fresh off of our first SEC win of the season. What made that even sweeter is that it was against the Evil Genius and the fact that our Georgia State Patrolmen executed a perfect fist bump in the ‘ole Ball Coaches face!
UGA has found a bit of offense since the debacle in Boone Pickens Stadium and knows it can move the ball. Joe’s arm looked plenty good especially on that rocket that Norwood returned for 6 points...but I digress. I believe we see some of the “new guys” come more into focus since, surely Arkansas’ defense will be paying a lot of attention to A.J. Green (a.k.a. Shakespeare). This will open things up for Tavarres King, Marlon Brown, Rantavious Wooten and especially Orson Charles. We have “toyed” with Charles over the past couple of games, but this guy is a STUD and we are about to start using him to take some pressure off our other receivers. BELIEVE THAT!
We should arrive with bad intentions and leave with a very convincing win. Our defense will dominate Arkansas with Houston and Washington coming off the edge. We should get 6-8 sacks in this game. This game will be reminiscent of the Sugar Bowl against Hawaii. There will be no doubt when we leave that the other teams will have to account for the fact that at some point, perhaps on that last play when Rennie knocked the ball away we figured out how to play GEORGIA FOOTBALL again!
Big plays and solid defense, along with a serious reliance on the running game puts this one in the bag early, and Mallett’s attempt to rally them back with long passes results in +5 turnover ratio as the Dawgs cruise.
UGA – 34
ARK - 13
