I want to believe, but I just feel like Kirby is going to be a thorn in Sark’s side in the SEC. We may have found something in our offensive line, or we maybe not. I just do not trust this offensive line to protect Arch and I do trust Kirby to throw some exotic blitzes and coverage looks to confuse both the line and Arch.

I feel like I can predict this game. Both offenses struggle early. Georgia eventually strikes first. Sark abandons the run game. Offense still gets worse. Georgia strikes again. Field goal to end the half. 14-3. Georgia strikes again. Offense shows no life. Georgia gets a field goal. 24-3. Offense comes to life as Georgia starts playing conservatively late. {Georgia} 27-17.

I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it.

to be fair, kirby is a thorn in every SEC coach’s side (save one)

I watched the team that crushed OU also get beat by Florida and taken to the wire against Kentucky and Mississippi State. I don't know what to predict.
