Giving credit where it is due, Bobo and Pruitt with their in game adjustments deserve more than their fair share for the win against Clemson. Especially Pruitt, who shut down what the Tigers were doing best - running up the middle - while also applying pressure from any and all directions on their quarterback.
But we've also given some credit to the fact that the offensive and defensive line leaned heavily on Clemson's counterparts as the game wore on. Georgia was a dominant force in the trenches, clearly in better shape and able to exert its will on them.
Enter South Carolina whose points by quarter break down as such: 14 in the first, 20 in the second, 24 in the third, and 3 in the fourth. Now, in both the game against the Aggies as well as last week against the Pirates, the fourth quarters saw clock draining drives. Texas A&M had a 10+ minute drive to end the game and South Carolina had one as well against ECU that culminated in that field goal.
Meanwhile, Georgia entered the fourth quarter in the opener behind in time of possession. Thanks to a team that was peaking instead of waning, we saw Clemson enjoy three and outs, while Georgia scored on three straight plays. That coupled with the ability to eviscerate the Tigers hope and desire for tackle football put Georgia ahead in TOP as well as ahead by three scores.
That fourth quarter display of physical fitness and prime conditioning against Clemson nearly made me swoon. It wasn't a one hit wonder was it? It was as much Georgia as it was Clemson, correct? We can do that again Saturday. We need to do that again Saturday.
Similar to yesterday, I'm not sure they could stop us; they're not sure they can stop us.
