JSN is a 1st rd lock imo. only way he slips out the 1st is if he runs an awful 40 time at the combine imo.
I guess it depends on the crop of wide outs going in - if there is plenty he could fall to the 2nd.Last season he had 1,600 yds receiving at 16.9 per.Crazy when you think there were 2 no1s ahead of him.But that may be why he was open as much,intersting call

For clarity, if osu wrs pile up on uga I'm not going to be surprised.  I don't think our crew is any better than y'alls.  I think our quality depth makes things hard on a defense because there's no obvious guy to take away, and for that reason I tend to favor our wr unit over others.

....which means little, obviously, since I just haven't watched osu enough to say for sure.  It could be that the Buckeyes top 2 guys are so good that I'd trade 5 of ours for 2 of yours.  Or that the Buckeye's top 5 are more impressive than I suspect.
This is where having JSN would have helped this season and where having him against UGA would REALLY help. JSN was projected to be a Biletnikoff caliber WR and Marvin Harrison is a finalist for the award. Having both, as you said, makes things hard on a defense. UGA can't double cover everybody. 

Then we get to Egbuka and Flemming. Egbuka is pretty good, maybe even very good as a #2 behind Marv. As a #3 behind JSN and Marv, he'd be phenomenal and probably the best #3 WR in the country. Flemming is decent as a #3 but hasn't lived up to his billing at least so far. That said, as a #4 behind JSN, Marv, and Egbuka, he'd be great.

When UGA faced Tenn, they singled up nearly every play and rushed Hooker, and it worked.  OSU isn't Tenn of course, but that could try that again, press cover everyone and pray basically.

I think a big key to the game for OSU will be: how do you contain Jalen Carter. There's no stopping him or shutting him out, it's just how can you slow him down and keep him from wrecking the game. OSU's interior OL better bring their lunchbox and come to play and be ready for a street fight. Cause that dude is naaaaaaasty.

This is probably a pretty good strategy. Ohio State's passing offense is somewhat dependent on slower developing big plays. I haven't seen them run a lot of three step drop timing routes. They might, however, be able to respond by throwing a ton of screens to get the ball past UGA's rushers with a ton of blockers.

The Vols tried almost no screens, which surprised me.  They didn't seem to adjust during the game, they did get a late TD, and UGA basically went to prevent when it started raining in the 2nd half.

They did that last weekend too and it wasn't so successful.  They eventually started mixing in zone and that didn't work well either.  

In some cases it was because they teed off on the backup QB knowing we couldn't run and the little squirt kept slipping away and firing darts.  

Any number of things may have accounted for the amount of passing yards and points UGA allowed in that game, but it's worth noting that Stroud and the Buckeye OL are far better than what we've got, from the few games I've watched them.  

I'll be curious to see if we found a "blueprint" so to speak or if it was just one of those flukes.  Nobody else has managed to move the ball very well on the Dawgs.

They didn't do it nearly as much with LSU as with Tenn where they ran a safety blitz several times with Bullard and it often worked.

They ran cover zero with Tenn nearly every play until late.

hot take: Kelee Ringo is a stud athlete but....kinda overrated as a pure CB. I think if they leave Ringo in man with no help on Marv- that Marv will cook him.

I want to see how Ohio State handles Georgia's tight ends.  Our secondary is hot garbage but we didn't even have a scheme in mind to fail at.  We got good pressure on Bennett, even though he made multiple plays under duress, but we didn't have much for plays when multiple TEs were on the field at the same time.

don't think anyone can handle the TE's at UGA. Bowers is a freak. Washington is a genetic mutant. Can't stop them both.

Especially when Washington is a tackle with TE skills. Blocks effective for 10 straight plays, then runs a post to the corner of the end zone.   

Nightmare.

Crazy thing is Washington only had 1 reception in the SECCG.  It wasn't his production, it was the threat.  

LSU didn't have the personnel to implement anything disruptive when Washington and Bowers were on the field at the same time, and Matt House knew it.  

Ohio State likely has a full 88 schollys and more talent man-for-man on defense than we do.  They'll probably be the toughest unit UGA has seen and I'm interested to see what Jim Knowles tries that we couldn't.

Washington often is used to block, as noted, and he likes that role apparently.    Bowers is more often targetted, but Darnell can catch as well.  He's made some one handers that are pretty amazing.
