National Championship game

Postby fireplug » Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:22 am

So who yall got for the big game Monday?

I'm not pulling for either team, but I know this will be another good one. That UG - OU game was probably the best game of the entire college season.

I'm saying that UG pulls off the victory. I think that they match up equally on defense, but Bama's offense isn't as strong as Georgia's in my opinion. And they are certainly not as strong on offense as Oklahoma is.

UGA wins unless Bama improves pass blocking and downfield passing game. Bama went into the Clemson game with a chip on their shoulder and not sure it will be there now and also lost their best pass rusher. Fromm looked really good but OU did not get much pressure on him. I do wonder how much UGA will have in the tank after that epic game. So I say all that to say who ever wins the turnover battle will win the game. Yeah I know cheap answer.

I am going the other direction. Bama wins with the best defense in the nation. They beat the number one team soundly with only defense and little offense. Georgia couldn't stop mayfield and couldn't run well the first half. They were very lucky to escape with a win. I had Georgia favored to win that one but I thought their defense was a lot better than that. Oklahomans defense looked like the better defense all first half. Hats off to Kirby for taking Chubb out and letting Michelle take over. They eventually wore them down and ran it at will. I new overtime would favor Georgia by shortening the field.

Now I saw From make some freshman mistakes and I feel sorry for him Monday because if they can't run against Bama which I doubt and he is forced to throw........ He is going to have a long day. Clemsons qb is mobile and he was getting hammered. From is more a pocket passer and a freshman so it could be a bad day. I agree bamas offense is mediocre and it will not be a replay of the Georgia vs Oklahoma game by a long stretch. I got Bama by 10 but it's the SEC so I don't take anything for granted.

Wonder how viewership goes since it is all sec game?

Remember the saying " defense wins championships".
Saban hasn't lost to any of his former assistants but Kirby will be his biggest test and one who has been with Saban a long time.

I got Bama, as bad as it pains me, based on defense. They are likely to crunch Fromm a few times and hurry him a lot.

With the increase in non-southerners in the state of Georgia the thUGA fan base has gotten more and more obnoxious. They have been riding on their high horse all year with the success they had in the very weak SEC east. The only team they beat all year was Notre Dame (until OU on Monday) and who really thinks they are any good in recent history. If they win a National Championship I am not sure they will be able to contain themselves.

If the bammers win it is just another Natty for them, big whoop, and it pushes Sabear that much closer to retirement. Which is all we really want to see happen sometime soon anyway.

So in a crazy astrologist kinda way, we just need to hope for a meteor to hit the ATL on Monday.

Either way itll be a very physical game won in the trenches. I'm predicting it will be a closer game than some think. Clemson might have been #1, but I say GA is a tougher test.

Didn't see that coming. Saban is a mastermind or crazy to put a true freshman in for the entire second half. It worked out for him and the kicker doesn't have to be on suicide watch. But I bet all they say on first take tomorrow is how Kirby got conservative and blew it. I will tend to agree with the that. Got a glimpse at bamas new qb. Get ready for another run next year. He is wayyyyyy better than jalen and a great kid to boot. Good or bad for him but he is compared to tebow with his strong Christian beliefs. Props to that young man.

Can somebody give me a quick summary of the game. I’m working on the Island of Vieques for the next couple months and have no tv and very little cell phone service.
