The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is upon us. Las Vegas is liking the Dawgs by a slim margin-and I am not sure how I like that. On one hand I think that this squad needs all the confidence it can get and will benefit from having "somebody" on their side. On the other hand, this is not the game that you want to head into cocky-they need to remember to go out there and execute-hopefully they will get some good play calls to help facilitate the execution!
I just read in the Jacksonville Times-Union that Meyer has said Chris Rainey will play Saturday (if you would like my opinion on the matter see the "Isn't that convenient" post) and the gator's kicker Sturgis will not play. Meyer is also reported as saying that Demps is as healthy as he has been in five weeks. It looks like Meyer and his bye-week rested team will be ready to try and prove Vegas wrong. BUT...
CMR and the Georgia Bulldogs might have something for 'em this year. Georgia will be returning a few players of its own on Saturday. Caleb King and Branden Smith are set to return which help the Dawgs chances a bunch. Ealey needs to keep running the ball as well as he has the last few weeks and HOLD ONTO THE BALL. It will be great to have King back for depth though; I am thinking the UGA running game will have a great day. This will be Murray's biggest challenge yet-and since he hasn't really been the problem yet this season I think he continues to play great this weekend.
I actually think the performance of the Dawgs D will be the determining factor. The D seems to be clicking, but it will be going up against a Meyer offense that, while not all that great, will have have schemed for two weeks. The Gator's O-Line has taken a beating on the local sports radio station, I hope that they have some more material to bash 'em with come the Monday drive-time show. I am curious to see how the new X-Factor is used by Meyer, and how the Dawgs D handles it. All in all, the D ought to keep clicking and help seal a Georgia victory.
Both teams are having a down year, lets hope the Dawgs can take advantage of it!
