houtiger Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 I will pull for Ga., tired of seeing Gumps win it all. I think Gumps will win. I think the two teams are evenly matched, except at QB, Bryce Young gives Gumps an edge. Early in the season Young had some growing up to do. He got better with game experience, I mean he won the Heisman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Since one of them has to win, I would rather it be GA than Gumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) I see Ga. is favored by 3. Ga. beat ranked teams ND, Clemson, Arky, Kentucky, and then Michigan. Gumps is funny this year, they have not played efficient football at times, losing to aTm, and LSU with a below average team hung with Gumps. The big change I see in Gumps is that late in the season it appears to me Bryce Young "got it". He is playing a LOT better now than he did the first half of the season, like something has clicked for him. He did win the Heisman. Saban has been amazing at not having the greatest team at the beginning of the season, and having a world beater at the end. Ga. supposedly has the great defense, but Gumps figured it out in the SECCG. I think the difference in the game will be at QB, and Gumps has the edge. We could look at the SECCG and think, maybe Gumps had an "on" day and Ga. had an "off" day. If it switches and Gumps has an off day, Ga. certainly has a shot. But if I was going to bet, I would take the points and Gumps. Edited January 9, 2022 by houtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not need to be stellar, but if he can stand in, survey the field, go through his progression and find the right receiver, he may just have to be very good.

And they're playing the same team. They stand a good chance to dominate them again. I thought Bryce played well against Cincy also. Now, if as I said before, in the SECCG if Gumps was on and Ga. was off, that can turn around. Ga. has the revenge factor. Both coaches have the opportunity to change what they did last time, not a lot, but somewhat. I would think that both coaches had some of their analysts working on Cincy and Michigan, while part of the analysts were working on Gumps and Ga. playing again. Given one game to get his guys ready, motivated and prepared, it's hard to bet against Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Georgia's walk on QB made the big plays down the field that Mr. Heisman couldn't. To me that was the difference in the game. One other thing of note, was impressed with how Georgia D knows how to tackle, wrap up and bring a player down. That is one of the fundamentals of football that is often overlooked in today's game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he won the Heisman. go look at their numbers down the stretch (last 4 games played - rivalry game, SEC CG, and 2 playoff games each). other than yards per game, all the other stats (Completion % ; TDs ; INTs ; Rating, etc) all favor one guy over the other one. and not particularly close either. Hint: it ain't the guy that "won the Heisman" Bryce Young: 322 ypg ; 57.2% ; 9 TD ; 4 INT ; 132.5 rating Stetson Bennett: 283 ypg ; 64.5% ; 12 TD ; 2 INT ; 184.4 rating of course, ESPN didn't tell America that, so they just assume Bryce Young was head and shoulders above the walk-on.

Nutriaitch Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 note: I thought Gumps would win this game too. but mainly because i fully expected Georgia to Georgia all over themselves in the big game like they always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sportscenter after the game, they looked at all #1 vs. #2 matches that played in the regular season, then played in a bowl game, going back to 1959 LSU vs. Ole Miss (first game LSU won 7-3, they showed the Billy Cannon run, Sugar Bowl Ole Miss won 21-0), and all of the others, the loser of the first game WON EVERY REMATCH! Very interesting, I certainly did not know that. I don't know if its revenge, or extra focus, but "its a thing". At any rate, it was a good game, exciting to the end. I'm glad for Bennett and Ga., glad Gumps lost. When you look at those two teams, they are the two best in the country this year. And again, you see the size and athleticism on both sides of the line of scrimmage. They are just outstanding. A lot of players off both teams will play on Sundays. The thing about Gumps, when they have a down year and don't win the natty, good chance they came in second that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
