UGA will run a lot of 3-4 hybrid looks with their All American monster Jordan Davis lined head up on the center.Ĭlemson’s primary run game staple has been the inside zone, so losing the battle at the center spot will likely mean the Tigers won’t be able to run it much if at all. Brad Scott said back then, “we needed a war daddy in there.” Well, Clemson needs to find another one for this game, which will likely be veteran Matt Bockhorst. One of the keys to that game was the staff moving Thomas Austin to center. Dabo’s first win as interim head coach came up there in Boston, breaking a three game losing streak to the Eagles in the process. The best comparison I can come up with here is when Clemson had to deal with the BJ Raji/Ron Brace combo that Boston College rolled out in the 2006-2008 seasons.

That said, this game may very well come down to how Clemson’s center position performs against a massive interior defensive line.

UGA defense: Clemson fans have shown the usual trepidation regarding the offensive line, though the unit is in much better shape heading into this game than at any point in 2020. I wouldn’t want it any other way.Ĭlemson offense vs. It will certainly be “big boy football” as Dabo said this week in his press conference. It could very well be UGA’s year to do it, but putting a huge bullet hole in that dream right out of the gates would be extremely, extremely sweet. But, truthfully, 1981 was pretty far back for a long time until that magical 2016 run led by Deshaun Watson. Many talking heads have made UGA their pick for this game and even to win it all, though we all know how far back 1980 is in the rear view mirror. Unlike the feathered folks from Columbia, UGA brings some actual clout to this with their four and five star studded roster and recent dominance of the SEC East division. This is big and handling business on Saturday night will resonate beyond simple polls and playoff projections. Recruiting? Proximity? Worthiness? Enemy number one. They really qualify as Clemson’s main rival in just about every way other than state lines and not playing every year. My hatred runs very, very deep for UGA and I relish the opportunity to beat them right out of the gate.

To be honest, there have actually been times I’ve nearly pulled for the Gamecocks to beat the Dawgs and have certainly chuckled to myself when that has happened (particularly in 2019, LOL). Let me first say that as a guy who grew up in the 1980s, the University of Georgia sits very comfortably at #2 on my hate hierarchy. I was certainly very thankful for last year’s football season actually happening (appreciate you Trevor Lawrence and crew for that!), but it certainly didn’t feel the same with 25% or less capacities in the venues. Watching those fans go crazy after goals or big saves reminded me of just how special sport can be when it is at its best. I think my first real dose of that came watching the end of the Euros this summer. There is no denying the impact of that fan energy on the game whether you are in the stadium or watching on TV.

Will the Dawgs top the Gators for a fourth consecutive time or will Kyle Trask and Florida outscore the Bulldogs? Tune in Saturday to find out.Welcome back to football season my friends! I’m certainly stoked, especially as the sport moves away from the quasi-fan situation of last year’s season. The video references Herschel Walker, Georgia’s last-minute victory in 1980, Knowshon Moreno’s famous touchdown in 2007, and several other great Georgia Bulldog memories.

Game 6 Trailer: Georgia vs Florida /ZcTmM2JoCT Here’s the trailer Georgia football released via Twitter ahead of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party:

The rivalry already got off into an early start with a former Georgia player throwing punches at a former Florida player in an NFL game on Sunday. The stakes are as high was they’ve ever been, with the loser being eliminated from serious College Football Playoff consideration. This year, like most years, the winner of the Georgia-Florida game will in all likelihood represent the SEC East in the SEC Championship. The video brings back positive memories for Georgia Bulldog fans while reminding Florida fans of some of their most painful moments in the rivalry’s history. The Georgia Bulldogs released a hype video ahead of Saturday’s showdown with the Florida Gators.
