Things that concern me after the LSU game..

1. Your inability to enjoy a big win.[/QUOTE]

Absolutely NOT!
I enjoyed this one almost as much as 55-20.

You left out something else in your analysis. If you're gonna give LSU another TD to "close the gap", you have to widen it again by giving us another at the end of the game, where we started taking a knee at the LSU 19 with a minute left. We were ramming it down their throats on that drive as well, and with our backups.

Little reason to think they could have stopped us from getting another TD. How does 44-14 sound to you?

Taking a knee late in the game to not score is very different than giving up a TD to go down 0-7 to start a game. Something called momentum and then pressing on our part.
No we didn't press after they tied it up, just saying its a totally different situation.

That I've seen no one discuss are...
LSU had one if not two TD's in the first half overturned due to a penalty.
Had one dropped ball over the middle where receiver was behind our D that could have been a TD.
They had one DL starter out of the game due to injury, one DL starter go out with a hand injury, one DE that was playing less than 100% and 2 D lineman go out early in the 3rd quarter bc of targeting penalties. That's 4 D starters out and one less than full speed.
I know all of this is part of the game and luck is needed to win a few but GA isn't going to have 11-12 penalties, and most likely aren't going to have 4-5 Defensive players out of the game or slowed by an injury.
We have the components to win this game but on the road, in the SEC, at night with a fairly young team... We are going to have to play great in all 3 phases to win this game.
And have a little luck go our way as well.

I know you said one if not two penalties that stopped TD's for LSU but the holding penalty on Char was on the drive that they scored on anyway. So they overcame that penalty, it's a moot point.

What I take from this is you worry about "what ifs" and my response is welcome to watching sports.I can't tell you how many times we've lost to things you listed.UGA has the third most penalties in the SEC.

WTF is this "Georgia is really good" ********. Is this not the same Georgia who has CONSTANTLY dissapointed for like the past 20 years? Not only that, they are SEC East! I'm tired of everyone still acting like Georgia is relevant in the national picture. The money is so high in the SEC that the rich/poor gap is really non-existent. I think we whip Georgia's *** Saturday and if we don't it's because Fitz got in his own head playing back in his home state.

This all day long! Some State fans acting like Georgia is Alabama or some ****. This Georgia team got ***** slapped last year in Oxford by 31 to Ole Miss. They beat an overrated and not very good Notre Dame team by a point. I'm waiting to be impressed. If anything I believe Georgia is gonna be more prone to turning the ball over than LSU was so advantage State. Don't overthink this. State wins this game.

Plus they scored a TD 1 or 2 plays after the previous one was called back on same possession.

So unless you can score 14 points in one possession in some way I'm unaware of, those dumb 17s have no clue wtf they're talking about. They can have the pick play td. I can live with 37-14.

Often, in football games between two good teams, the difference between winning and losing is 3-4 plays (or, sometimes just 1 play). Whichever team wins those plays wins the game.

This didn't happen in our game with LSU, because we pounded them.

I'd like to pound Georgia the same way, but, if not, then we'll have to make the plays that win the game.

I feel good about our chances, because we have lots of players on our team that make plays.
