@kirkhilles Exactly right. I think of that Hawaii game when everyone said UGA would have their toughest game and probably lose. Colt Brennan was almost killed by the Dawgs D. I was genuinely scared for the Hawaii players because the Dawgs were so superior. It was scary. I think it was Marcus Howard who almost made the Hawaii QB quit the game after blasting him and recovering the ball in the end zone. This game with Cincy should be a repeat. But you never know. That's why they play em.
I expect Cinn to be fired up and they might score on their first possession. But by the 3rd quarter UGA will have pulled away and many of the Cinn players will be sore and wanting the game to end. Of course this is assuming COVID doesn't strike and UGA ends up playing 3rd and 4th stringers.
You left out one vital statistic: STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE. Look at who Cincy played compared to UGA's opponents. FORGET IT FOLKS. WE'LL WIN BY 14 AT LEAST. Thus speaketh Socretom, not to be confused with Socretes.
Unfortunately for Georgia, there's not a whole lot to be gained by playing this game other than reps and experience for some of our younger players. If Georgia wins, then it's "well, it was Cincinnati so you didn't win by enough". If Georgia wins by a lot, then it's "shame on Georgia for taking advantage of an overmatched team" -- just like Hawaii in 2008. If Georgia slips up and loses, then it's "Ha! Ha! Ha!, look at the big bad SEC team that got beat by a Group of 5 school." But, it's the game that we have and I'll be parked in front of the TV cheering them on.
On another note, I certainly hope that when it comes time to distribute bowl and TV revenue this year, that the SEC office keeps in mind that Vandy quit on the season leaving us holding the bag on $1.8 million in tickets that had to be refunded and preventing our Seniors from having their day. Also, the SEC office should take note of the South Carolina players backing out on their bowl game (even at 2 and 8). The Gamecocks are trying to spin it as Covid, but they had a players only meeting and went whining to their AD about not wanting to play for Bobo. It ultimately cost UAB a chance at their well-earned bowl trip and cost the SEC the revenue for that second tier bowl. I'd rather not see South Carolina get rewarded for that.
