Georgia

It looks like my plans for a running diary today won't materialize. The end of the week ended up very hectic, and I didn't hype the event like I wanted to. Basically, I don't want to spend 12 hours typing out my thoughts unless I've assured that at least a few people are going to be checking it out.
For the second soul killing day this year, I am missing a home SEC game. As with South Carolina, this was my own decision based on family goings on. So, I'll be checking it out on Raycom.
The game today really boils down to the Cats being able to contain the Bulldogs on defense. We are likely to end up with somewhere between 7 and 13 points. Our chance to win the game is if Georgia does too and somehow its number is less than ours. Georgia presents some problems for the Cats. With stud freshman AJ Green and steady senior Mohamed Massaquoi, Georgia basically has two All SEC caliber receivers. Trevard Lindley cannot cover both, so the rest of the UK secondary will spend the day in the crosshairs. I haven't mentioned Knowshon Moreno yet. Knowshon has had 7 good games this year and two bad ones. Not coincidentally, Georgia sits at 7-2.
Earlier this season, Georgia found the end zone only once in a 14-7 win at South Carolina, a game that could have gone either way. Moreno and Stafford both had decent numbers, but there were no home runs. If we can make tackles today and not allow any long plays, I think we have a chance in this game.
