Keys to a win on the plains

SEC road game. At night. In Auburn Alabama. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.

Hostile.

We're going to have to match the intensity of their crowd with hustle.

Auburn University, reinventing education since 1856.

1. Georgia must generate a pass rush that affects the play called. Auburn has allowed the most sacks in the country (21) and has vowed to make changes on their offensive front. Schumann has struggled to get guys in position to win battles, so he needs to find a way to get into the backfield to force errant throws by Arnold at worst. Something's gotta give. So let it be them.
2. Protect the football. Arnold isn't a world beater at quarterback, but he's protected the football. As a team they have a +4 turnover margin. So we can't afford to be putting it on the turf or in danger through the air.
3. Run the ball to set up the play action. It's the goal offensively every game. And it doesn't change Saturday night. We have a solid rushing attack. Roll the pocket on play action to help the young offensive line. Keep moving the sticks, then the scoreboard will follow suit.

My initial thought is a close game with Georgia pulling away late. But we know how it goes in Jordan Hare. You give them bastards an inch, they'll roll an entire town square with toilet paper.

Go Dawgs!
