00:00Number four ranked Crimson Tide hosting number two Georgia. And

00:03as of this moment, UGA remains a slight favorite on the road

00:08against Alabama, it would snap a 113 consecutive home game

00:13streak for the Crimson Tide as the favorite not since November

00:173 of 2007. Nick Saban's first year has Alabama been booked as

00:23a home underdog. So now if the line is correct, we compare the

00:27quarterbacks facing off in this matchup that will determine the

00:30outcome. We see guy we start with UGA is Carson Beck 247 and

00:35a half is his number against an Alabama defense that has been

00:38good defending the past only 113 games so far through these

00:42three years, but back the best competition they've seen. Yeah,

00:45absolutely. And I think if Georgia is going to win this

00:47game, you want to utilize Carson Beck and those playmakers, like

00:50I said, Smith and love it over the top. We talked about how

00:54good the secondary is for Alabama. But again, you know,

00:57does that go into the competition as well playing you

00:59USF with Byron Brown, and lock the backup for Wisconsin. So if

01:03I'm Georgia, I want to push tempo. Now both of those

01:06quarterbacks can go through their total tonight, but it

01:08wouldn't shock me they're both completing 68%. But in terms of

01:12the head to head, I think it's more important for Carson back

01:15to get into the area of 275 300. You look at the body of work

01:20last year when Georgia was dominant against SEC opponents,

01:23he was he was gripping it and ripping it as Kev says, and

01:26that's why I would favor back more than mill row because mill

01:30row is more athletic and can run it.

01:32What I will say, you know, that SEC title game, which I mean,

01:36from a future perspective, that was a full rooting interest

01:38game for me. Every single time they dropped back to pass with

01:43back. Oh, no. Every time they handed it off. Oh, thank you

01:47very much. And I do wonder if Georgia has made that

01:52adjustment. Now ETN can certainly be dangerous. I think

01:55he'll play well. But yes, they need to let Carson back, you

01:59know, throw the football. But also we talked about our

02:01touchdown scores. Dalton Eurosec were supposed to be huge

02:05advantages for this team. They've not shown up. What

02:08interests me in this game more than anything is the mill row

02:11rushing numbers 46 and a half is his number. We've talked about

02:15this. But last year, it was consistent that the best athlete

02:19on the field would finish with 20 rushing yards on 10 attempts

02:23because he was sacked five times. You'd be sitting there

02:25with his prop a long of 20. And he's under 20 yards like that.

02:29Somebody explain what's going on here. The offensive line is

02:33better. I think he's doing a better job that 40 and a half

02:36number by the way, has been bet up now 46 and a half appearing

02:40in the market. We saw it last year in a step up game against

02:43LSU put 155 yards on the ground. Don't be surprised if we

02:49see him get into the 80s 90s in this game only 29 yards last

02:54year in the SEC championship game despite 14 carries against

02:58UGA why he was sacked four times Alabama's o line a season ago

03:02allowed 49 sacks in total throughout the college football

03:05playoff. That was a school record. They have been better so

03:09far this year need to continue that against this Georgia front

03:12who did not look great against Kentucky. They allowed 170

03:16yards on the ground. They allowed less than that combined

03:19in their first two games. That's where the Micah Williams

03:22question mark that we have tonight's a really important

03:24factor. There are five SEC teams that have more sacks on the year

03:27than Georgia. That's not what we're accustomed to with this

03:29football team here, Joe, if Williams can't go, that's really

03:33bad for Georgia trying to get stomps in this game. Another

03:35reason I love the over well, then they would play into the

03:37RPO game is if he can't come off the edge, right and then

03:41obviously they exploit that with his athleticism. And that's

03:44why I say it's more important for back passing wise, right?

03:47Because Millworld does have that added dimension, where let's say

03:50he could throw for 170 and another 100 on the ground, and

03:53there's 270 of total offense and you get the win.
