POLL Who wins? Georgia - Notre Dame

[Eco]

You played at the JoePa's that one time.


Rest are all "neutral fields". In tSouth.

Yes, but those 'neutral' games including curb stomping...USC, Michigan, VA Tech, Clemson, and Wisconsin.

I like UGA's backup QB (Jake Fromm) better than Eason.

I'm pretty sure Eason got Bledsoe'd.

Georgia hasn't played outside Dixie since LBJ was in the White House.


My money would be on ND.

Does Arizona and Colorado count as part of Dixie?

 

[Chewbaccer]

But as for the game, it's a coin toss IMO. Believe it or not, I have more confidence with Jake Fromm starting the game than I would with Jacob Eason though. Eason struggled all last season, and his possessions against App State were 3 and outs, but as soon as Fromm filled in after Eason's injury, the offense got going against a pretty solid defense.

The game will come down to Georgia's o-line. If they can create running lanes for Chubb and Michel and give Fromm time to throw, I like our chances.

I voted for Georgia to win, but I could see the game going either way. Wish I could be there though.

Arizona does.


When'd your Dawgs go to Colorado?

Was it a state yet?

2010. Which was the worst Georgia team that I can remember.

He'll get another shot unless Fromm is tearing it up and it looks like the team is actually going somewhere.

But Eason was lackluster last season even for a true freshman(I'm not giving up on the guy, Matt Stafford was pretty shitty in his freshman season too). I understand the o-line didn't help him much and his receivers dropped a lot of balls, but mostly, he was wildly inaccurate on the mid range throws(seemed like the fucker was more accurate 30+ yards down field than he was 8-15 yards away).

But the game last week sold a lot of people on Fromm. Eason was under center for 2 possessions, both were 3 and outs and I think maybe 2 total yards of offense. Fromm comes in and it's an immediate boost to the offense. Offense did pretty well what it wanted to up until the 4th quarter when the starters were getting pulled up 31-0.

Usually I would have a lot of faith after a week they just had but the way last year went I dont know. I hate to say this but my heart says ND wins but my brain says Georgia Wins. ND falls apart in the 4th. Lets hope my Heart is right.

Lets Go Irish

But I am worried a bit with Eason's injury in that no matter what, it will be on Fromm. With Eason last season, if he stumbled, at least we had a 5th year senior in Greyson Lambert(who would have been just as serviceable as Eason last season, not a great QB, but an experienced one) to step in if need be.

With Eason hurt, the only other QB on scholarship is Brice Ramsey, who currently sits 0-2 passing on the season with 2 interceptions and his work in previous seasons hasn't been much better. So we don't have a backup plan if the moment turns out to be too big for Fromm(from everything I've seen and read, it won't be, but you never can tell until he gets under center for a sold out, hostile crowd for the first time).

And if God forbid, Fromm gets hurt, I guess we're either running wild cat or giving the reigns to a walkon.

I'll take UGA here because of superior athleticism and the fact Notre Lame sucks.

 

[themuzzer]

ND in a close one, only because UGA lost their starting QB.

 

[nathans8823]

Loss of Georgia QB and playing the night game at ND will make the difference. ND by 4.

Lmao Home Game for Notre Dame makes no difference.


In fact sometimes Notre Dame plays better on the road.

Well it makes a difference when your QB has never started a game and his first game is at ND.
