Georgia is just one game away from ending their regular season. The Georgia Bulldogs will travel to Atlanta to play the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech inside of Bobby Dodd Stadium for the “clean, old fashioned” rivalry.
While it is easy for Georgia to look ahead to next week as they will head to Atlanta once again, but this time for the SEC Championship as they will face the LSU Tigers who are currently ranked second in the College Football Playoff rankings. Georgia cannot risk overlooking an opponent like Georgia Tech as we’ve seen in the past, great Georgia teams fall to Georgia Tech in an upset. This is a game that doesn’t help to win but hurts to lose. While the Bulldogs are heavy favorites for this matchup with the Yellow Jackets. Georgia hasn’t looked too impressive at times. The Georgia offense has been missing in action at times, which has seen the whole offense dip in performance. We haven’t seen the Bulldogs dominant a team on the scoreboard as we have in the past. The run game has been a strength for the Dawgs but when it is taken away, the air attack has been nearly non-existent. With Georgia’s biggest playmaker and best receiver, Lawrence Cager ruled out for this week and next week. It is up to Kirby Smart, James Coley and the rest of the offensive coaching staff to come up with a way to replace that production that Cager has brought to Georgia when he is on the field. Georgia loses 476 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns on 33 receptions. Cager leads the team in receiving yards and receptions. While George Pickens is the ideal replacement as he leads Georgia in receiving touchdowns and has one less reception than Cager. Pickens hasn’t consistently been available for Georgia as we’ve seen teams scheme him out of games. Defenses have been able to put Pickens in man coverage and provide safety help over top to help the corner. This means Georgia will need to rely on people like Dominick Blaylock who has done well out of the slot for Georgia this season. Blaylock plays better with every reception he makes for Georgia. Jake Fromm has come under increasing pressure over the past few weeks as more and more fans are becoming impatient and frustrated with Georgia’s offensive struggles. People would like to see more of the Jake Fromm that led Georgia to leads over Alabama in the National Championship and the SEC Championship. When Fromm has the protection he will make the right decisions with the ball. It is up to the coaches to be calling the best plays that put Jake in a good situation. Georgia has struggled on third down because of bad play calls on first and second down. Jake is having to make up for the mistakes that were made up in a box or on the sideline. This game is the perfect time for Georgia to get back to the roots of its offense that has made it so successful in the past two seasons. Run the ball at will and cut the throat of the defense with a deadly air attack. An unpredictable offense is a good offense. We haven’t seen that unpredictability this season from Georgia as we are more than likely able to predict what the play is going to be before the ball is snapped. I want to see a dominant performance from a talent-filled offense in Atlanta. Use Georgia Tech as a tune-up for LSU and show them that this offense isn’t to be messed with. Georgia will beat Georgia Tech in Bobby Dodd Stadium 38-7 in a dominating performance from both sides of the ball. Go Dawgs!
