UGA versus Clemson

My questions for my fellow Dawgs. In the opener, who will lead the offense in receptions and who will lead the defense in tackles? A lot of picks on both sides of the ball. Will it be Lovette, Bell, Delp or maybe a surprise out of the backfield. Will it be Starks, Aguerno, Allen? What do you say?

    My first ever in-person UGA game was the Labor Day 1982 opener between the hedges featuring the previous 2 national championship teams, Clemson and UGA. What a great matchup!

    I’ll sum it up with bumper sticker being sold by a frat house on Lumpkin that day which read:

    “Tech ain’t $h1t, Clemson is!”

    Lovett is really good running the slot fade route to the end zone; recall his TD against Tech last year. I bet we’ll see one of those for a TD this Saturday.

    I believe that UGA LB CJ Allen is yet another one individual that is cut from the same kind of cloth as both the former UGA LB Roquan Smith, and former UGA LB Nakobe Dean were too!!! These three young men all seem to me that even if their own mothers took the football field, they would all viciously tackle even their own mothers!!! The defensive line is where most all of my own deep concern's lie… as goes their consistent, and constant pressure on each and every single play??, so goes the fortunes (or failures) of the rest of the UGA defense as a whole unit. Speeding up the opposing QB decisions with tons of really good pressure, or forcing the opposing RBs to run into the lanes that are all occupied by all of the UGA LBs - that is THE KEY TO THE MOST CRITICAL part of their collective play as a defense!!! GET THE PLAYER WITH THE BALL ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW!!! Therefore, that’s the key potential “bugaboo” that Georgia faces while all 11 are out there playing on the defense. I hope, and pray that this potential “weak link” of Georgia’s defensive line play will just overachieve, and keep the rest of Georgia’s defensive players, in a good position to succeed on each, and every single play. The quicker that each play gets a LOT of pressure by the UGA DL players, the better for the rest of the Georgia defense players (LBs, DBs) will all perform. Georgia’s defense spent chasing the opposition for seemingly endless amounts of precious seconds, spent chasing around the football field running after the opposing WRs, RBs, and TEs is never ever a good thing. So? My BIGGEST want is for the remaining “healthy” UGA defensive linemen will keep both the pass pressure, and that the running defense is constantly causing the Clemson offense to hurry up, (playing way faster than they all want to) and therefore Clemson will screw up due to the pressure!!! As for UGA’s own offensive receiving leaders? I would expect that for either WR Dillon Bell, or WR Dominick Lovett to just pick right up where they left off in 2023. Although TE Oscar Delp is a really really good TE, he’s just that, and not any more than that. Anything that is coming anywhere close to being like the former UGA TE Brock Bowers is probably just too much for anyone to expect, and I am sure that he (Delp) will do his absolute best for Georgia too.

    GO DAWGS!!!

    PS - I want for Georgia to simply BEAT Clemson’s @$$e$ EXTRA BAD!!! I hope that Georgia exceeds the glorious beat down that I first saw way back in 1970, when the DAWGS beat up Clemson 38-0.

    GO DAWGS!!!

    My inner “Larry Munson” won’t allow me to relax over Georgia’s extra thin grouping of healthy defensive linemen.. not only for this opening game versus a STOUT opposing offensive line, but for the entire season too! Georgia MUST HAVE really really good pressure upfront all season long. More DL need to “get well”, than for any more of them to become additions to the injury list.
    GO DAWGS!!!

    PS - I believe that this one single position group (DL) performance, will have the MOST IMPACT (either positive, or negative) for the whole entire football team for this 2024 year.

    GO DAWGS!!!
