    Hmm didn't think Bennett had that play in him, nice throw.

    14-7

    This Georgia defense is as good as advertised.

    Won't be a combined 90+ points tonight.

    UNC is down 24-0 to FSU. I'm not completely shocked, I think even though they lost to the Irish Las week they turned a corner.

    I'm a little confused why Nick has gone air Bama? UGa is just teeing off now and coming downhill on that OL.

    24 - 20 at half, a really good game so far, big plays all over the place!

    Well I don't know what happened last week but our defense looks better this week. Not great but better.

    Georgia has had a couple of drops and a couple.of.overthrown balls. Alabama is lucky to only be down by 4. We need a turnover and some defensive stops to win this.

    FSU magic has evaporated and UNC coming back, they have seized the big MO.

    31 - 21 FSU.

    A pick on the goal line and a big drive and the Tide is up 10.

    Georgia has to get points on this next drive

    Well kp you can light up that victory cigar that pitch and catch in endzone pretty much seals it.

    Bennett is officially over his head now, the bloom is off the rose.

    Bennett 44% completion and 3 picks. He is a gamer though, just over matched tonight

    Well, after last week, I didn't expect this. Mac Jones.and the Alabama receivers are awesome and the defense has done just enough give us a lead.

    Well, I'm really stumped by Alabama's defensive performance last week. Our defense looked much better this week. It's still not a very good defense but I was worried we wouldn't be able to stop anyone. The UGA QB did not have a good night but they had wide receivers wide open all over the field. I don't know what is going on there. Our offense was clicking though. Jones continues to impress and Najee Harris is.a.very good running back but our wide receivers are an impressive group. The top three are as good a bun as I have seen this year and rival last year's trio. Well, a strange season marches on.

    FSU hangs on and gets the big upset

    31 - 28!

    Might be the first time I've ever rooted for FSU.

    Bama sure turned up their defense in the second half.

    At this point I think a good prediction for the NC game would be Bama and Clemson with Ohio State also a very good possibility. We will see how good they are starting this weekend. Don't know who the 4th team might be.

    I watch the highlights of the UNC loss to FSU, and boy did the UNC receivers have butter on their fingers...when the game was on the line and they were in a good spot to at least force OT, they dropped 3 straight very catchable balls. The QB Sam Howell probably won't be taking those guys out to dinner any time soon.

    Also I continue to be so impressed with Mac Jones, granted he has great WR's and great OL and the best RB in college football (yes I'd rather have him than Travis Etienne). To show you how hard it is to predict QB play at any level. In the 2017 class ND recruited a kid named Avery Davis from Texas an athletic kid who was in the top 20 at QB, 10 slots ahead of Mac Jones in the 247 ratings. Mac is a legit Heisman candidate and Avery Davis is a slot receiver at ND. I don't think he has even played a down at QB at ND, was moved after his red shirt year to a number of different positions and has been a great team player...just not a QB.

    Told ya the Tide would prevail. :cool: UGA is built in their image, so Nick knows how to handle them.

    Kiffin and his band of misfits came back to earth HARD this week... 6 picks against Arkansas. Wow.
    Pretty sure the Hogs watched the tape of the Bama game, and made sure to do NOTHING that the Tide did. It worked just enough.

    Except for one drive, the Aggie defense finally learned to tackle! They had been pretty bad at that so far this year, but dropped the MSU WR's on the spot consistently, so no big plays came from those 4 yard dinks Leach loves so much.

    I was stunned by the UK/Tenn outcome. I thought Tenn was on the rise, but maybe not quite so fast.
