Ok Dawg fans its time for some Vandy action. Sorry this post is a little late but lets get down to the game. The bulldogs are set to kick off at 12:30 est. in Athens. Dawgs look to dominate this matchup but one thing is for sure. We need to find pay dirt when we get inside the red zone. Last week we struggled inside the 30-yard line. News reports say that Vandy will be starting Mackenzie Adams, which is their 2nd string quarterback against the #10 ranked Dawgs. Although this may sound good to the untrained ear u might not remember Adams a 6 foot 3 inches redshirt junior led the Commodores to a 24-22 victory over UGA in 2006. And in 2007 if it were not for some last minute heroics by the Dawgs causing a fumble in the end zone which would have been a 6 point nail in the Dawgs coffin Adams would have beat us is 07. So Adams comes into the game 1 and 1 against the Dawgs. The commodores head coach bobby Johnson has made this decision following dandy’s first loss of he year last week when they fell to the Ole Miss rebels. Johnson said that he wasn’t happy with Vandy's offensive production this year. Rightfully so because Vandy's passing offense is ranked 116th out of 119 bowl subdivision teams. Vandy has gotten by this year mostly through their defense that has been one of the best in the sec in turnovers. I personally would have preferred the regular starter Chris Nickson to get the nod to start at Georgia rather than Adams. These guys are two different types of quarterbacks Nickson threat comes from his legs being the commodores 2nd leading rusher. Where as Adams is a pocket passer and if you give him time he will find some holes.
Keys to the victory:
Keep our penalties to a minimum and don’t turn over the ball. Like I said before the Vandy team has feasted on turnovers and that kind of play can get a game out of reach very quick.
Blitz well and blitz often. We need to put Adams on his ass and show him that he isn't going to going to enjoy his trip between the hedges. We really need to commit to commit to frustrating this quarterback in the pocket. Even though we have some great athletes in our secondary such as Asher Allen and Bryan Evans. Sometimes these guys can't cover a grandma with a blanket.
A good dose of Knowshon Moreno is good for any game.
Well Dawg fans keys are pretty simple or so it would seem. But u see that just how elite the sec is when u have to worry about our small fish in this pond such as Vandy Kentucky and ole miss. Maybe one day Espn will get their heads out of southern cal's ass and open their eyes and maybe then we can get some sec love. Expect for A.J. Green to have a great game. A.J. is quite a competitor and he is probably still mad about that pass he dropped in the end zone last week. So look for his hands to be glued to the football this week. It also looks like Richard Samuel will continue to get playing time with kickoff returns while he shares the load with regular Ramarcus Brown. Well Dawgs fans all I can say I'm ready to see some more acrobatics
From Knowshon and see him start breaking out in the Heisman race. He is creating a good highlight real so far for a Heisman candidate he just need to pack some numbers on it. Ok guys UGA vs. Vandy 12:30 be there! GO DAWGS!
