Todd Gurley has been getting a lot of press, having averaged over 10 yards a carry on the season. But, if you look at who UGA has played, UT's front 7 should be markedly better than Mizzou, Vandy, Buffalo, and Fla Atl. Here is what Gurley did against Mizzou: 10 carries for 65 yards. Now, that is a 6.5 yd/carry average, but if you take out his long run of 44 yards that leaves 9 carries for 21 yards, or 2.3 carry. In that same game Marshall had 12 carries for 32 yards, or 2.7 yards per carry. As long as UT can avoid the breakdown in communication that has lead to virtually every big run we have allowed, I think UGA is going to have trouble moving the ball on the ground. Also, since both running backs are true freshman UT should try and blitz and take advantage of their potential lack of pass protection. I know that could expose our slower secondary, but I think the risk is worth the reward.
i think we see more pure 3-4 today. Theist couple weeks we've played 4-2 or 5-1.
