I typically like UGA okay but I find myself rooting against them this post-season. I'd rather see some new blood win it than the Dawgs go back to back.
Biggest surprise of that game to me is how helpless OSU's O-line was against UGA's front once some adjustments were made. I was surprised Stroud couldn't find his hot reads better than that as well, but that's not exactly uncommon when your line is swiss cheese.
All that said, they still had a chance to win it with a walk-off FG. I feel bad for kickers in that situation. 50 yarders are no gimme, but very doable for a good college kicker. I don't know what happened there, but I'm sure he can do better than that, even if he had a "regular" miss.
UGA isn't the same offense if Washington can't be on the field at the same time as Bowers. I don't know his status for the NC game, but I've argued that the two TEs are the key to what makes Georgia unstoppable and you need either an elite performance from your D-line or for Bennett to have a bad day. He didn't have a great day against OSU but they still managed to rack up points. Duggan also had a bad day. I don't look for either of them to slump like that twice in a row.
The trenches are the most important thing here....that favors UGA near as I can tell. But I didn't think TCU could handle Michigan in the trenches either and that was obviously not the case, regardless of UM's baffling play-calling.
