Alabama vs Georgia, Prediction, 2008

Alabama vs Georgia, Prediction, 2008. This is going to be one of those SEC games that everyone will talk about for a long time. I just have the feeling.

Georgia is going to be ready for Alabama. They are not looking over Nick Saban’s crew at all. Word is that Coach Richt is going to pull out the all black uniforms. Some people think that Richt is over hyping the game, and he should act like he will be the National Champion.

Nick Saban lives for these games. We all know that is why he was hired. He is supposed to rebuild that program. He is supposed to win all the games he is supposed to win, and he is expected to win some ( if not all ) of the games that Alabama is not supposed to win. I think the problem for Alabama is that their ranking is inflated. Everyone respects Saban and Alabama evokes memories of college football lore, but they have not done much this season.

• Clemson is a joke from the ACC.
• Alabama looked real bad against Tulane.
• Arkansas is, in my eyes, the worst team in the SEC.

Georgia on, the other hand, is getting no respect. They are stacked from top to bottom. They are a proven program. They have Knowshon Moreno, and Stafford. They will have the black unis on.

I pick Georgia to win and make a statement. Please leave a comment to tell me what you think. Also check out my Georgia football videos, and Alabama football videos.

Vote for the Liberty Mutual, NCAA Football Coach of the Year

Vote for the Liberty Mutual, NCAA Football Coach of the Year. I do not keep up with every single award, but this one sounds really cool. You can have a voice. You can go to the website and vote for the winner. Here is a little bit more about it.

“The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award ( coachoftheyear.com ) is the award that recognizes the college football coach in each NCAA division that best demonstrates sportsmanship, integrity, responsibility and excellence. Unlike other coaching awards given out in college football, the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award allows fans to have a say in who wins, and truly focuses on a coach’s actions off the field as much as on it.”

You have 72 days left to vote. Here are the candidates as of right now for D1. There are a ton of SEC coaches on this list. You have a dog in the hunt. Who do you respect? Who do you think deserves it? Who do you think is the coach of the year?

• Skip Holtz, East Carolina University
• Mark Richt, University of Georgia
• Bob Stoops, University of Oklahoma
• Bronco Mendenhall, Brigham Young University
• Joe Paterno, Pennsylvania State University
• Nick Saban, University of Alabama Tuscaloosa

SEC Football Week 4 Predictions 2008

SEC Football Week 4 Predictions 2008. I am sorry that I did not get the full predictions, but this is what I got. This should be the last time this ever happens.

• Auburn over LSU. I expect Auburn to bring in Burns and have a threat in their new spread offense. When that happens, all of Auburns running backs will get their chances.
• Alabama over Arkansas. This will not even be close. Alabama has come too far to lose this game.
• Florida over Tennessee. This will not even be close.
• Ole Miss over Vandy. Sorry Vandy fans. I thinkNutt is going to have the boys playing tough.
• Georgia over Arizona State. Not even close.
• Georgia Tech over Miss State. Miss State just does not have the offense to catch up with the Jackets.

Auburn vs Mississippi State, Prediction 2008

Auburn vs Mississippi State, Prediction 2008. This will not be a walk in the park for either team. Do not be fooled. This has all the signs of an SEC slobberknocker.

Why do I say that? Mississippi State is playing with heart, respect, hunger, and they believe in themselves. This is something that has eluded the Bulldogs for quite a few years. I think the switch was turned on….. When they beat Auburn last year. They shocked the SEC, and they went on to beat UAB and Alabama. They also won their bowl game.  You can call me captain obvious, but I think a lot has changed in StarkVegas. I do not think Croom is the next Lombardi, but I know he can coach a team that plays hard for him. Their team philosophy demands it, and strives on it.

Auburn is 2-0 but has looked pretty bad doing it. I could go over everything, but the biggest thing I could see is that the running attack looks jumbled. Yes that is right. I do not like the way Auburn is running the ball. They have so much talent, but it looks like they do not have a running attack plan. It looks like they are 100% concerned with getting the QB problems settled. I like that they are passing to the talented running backs, but they have not looked good in the red zone. When they get in the 20, their new spread offense gets pretty tight, and the running plays are slow developing. I do not know if they have it, but I would like to see some goal line offensive changes.

I predict Auburn to win, but I also expect them to get smacked in the mouth. If they come out with a jumbled up running attack, and try to pass the ball when they can run down Miss. States throats, I see Auburn possibly losing this game. It is time to put the offense in place, and settle all QB questions. This is conference play against a team that beat yall last year. Do not be cute.

Georgia vs. South Carolina, Prediction 2008

Georgia vs. South Carolina, Prediction 2008. This game is huge for both teams. Georgia needs to stay up for the first real opponent they have seen all year. USC needs to bounce back after an indescribable loss to Vandy last week.

Georgia has breezed through their first two opponents. They did not catch LeFevour. That was their only test. They are ranked #2 in the Nation. Everyone has them winning this game.

The Ole Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, has looked very average/bad ever since the Gamecocks were ranked #7 mid season last year. Before that, they looked awesome. On the other hand, they beat North Carolina very soundly in game one, and the loss to Vandy is not that bad. Vandy is still an SEC team, with SEC talent, SEC money, and SEC fans. I would not write off USC just yet.

As for my prediction, I am taking Georgia. Look for a big game from Knowshon Moreno. But do not expect it to be a blowout. The Spurrier effect is well known. He may not have all of his ducks in a row right now, but he can get his men ready to play for 60 minutes.

Tennessee vs UAB, Prediction

Tennessee vs UAB, Prediction. Let’s say it all together now, ” Why is this the Raycom Sports game of the week? ” That is a rhetorical question. I could care less why it is the game. I just know that I will be forced to watch it.

Last weeks loss to UCLA was demoralizing for the Vols and the SEC. Pac 10 fans will never forget about it. I can tell you that much. This loss will be talked about, nay Screamed about, all the way through Bowl season. I can hear it now. ” Tennessee beat this team and then they lost to UCLA. UCLA lost to USC, so USC deserves to be in the National Championship game instead of an SEC team.” Is that too far fetched? I do not think so.

I digress. Tennessee should beat UAB. A ton of SEC football fans will watch it. Arian Foster needs to get his wheels underneeth him. The Vols need to fix a ton of problems on both sides. This is the perfect week to kind of call the UCLA game a preseason game. The Vols real season starts now. I think the Vols need to look at it like that. Put last week behind yall, because you’ve got a rested Florida team for next week.
