the stockton doubt is straight insanity. The #1 showcasing we have of the dude is him going out against texas in a dead ass game and bringing our offense to life by absolutely putting himself and his body on the line. I got chills on that first sneak he took and a certain mail man flashes before my eyes. Stockton wants it and by god is he gonna take it.
Yeah it’s just that int he threw*. It was sooooo bad and brings into question his experience. Also that crazy sideline throw was the wrong throw too. He had a wide open RB for the first down right in front of him that he didn’t see or chose not to throw to. I think he’ll be ok with the weeks of prep but, as a Georgia fan, I do worry a little bit about bad decision making under pressure.
As a Dawg fan, I was impressed by Notre Dame, both sides of the ball they were physical and fundamentally sound. UGAs been up and down on both sides of the ball all year in almost every quarter, half and game. The only thing they consistently did was find a way to win in 4th quarter in tight, tough games. They’re tested by a tough schedule and some of the games that they should’ve won easily and found themselves in a dog fight till the end but won. Georgia never played one solid complete game all year. They played good halves but not a complete game. Maybe it’s going to come this game, I sure hope so. Kirby is definitely showing his team all the pundits that are picking against them, he does a great job usually getting his team up for these kind of games but in the end the players gotta play.
This will be a great game i have so much respect for Georgia you guys are so physical and talented I just hope My Irish can keep it close Good luck and may the best team win Go Irish ☘️
@ yeah that’s probably one of our better games and we still went down 10-0 and didn’t score for the first 17 minutes. I would just love to actually get an early game lead for once. It’s like we’re always playing from behind. Imagine our defense with a lead and some help from the offense to give them rest in between drives.
I think it’s going to be a really good game but I do think that it will come down to how Gunner Stockton plays. We don’t know. Looking forward to it. Hopefully the next round produces a lot more quality games.
Sure buddy, got killed by ole miss, took all 4 quarters to beat Kentucky, took OT to beat GT, got embarrassed by Alabama and Texas in the first half. Sounds like you live in the past.
@@andrewdill6109 Let’s live in the past a little bit more. One one of those teams won the SEC Championship and is #2 in the CFP. But yeah we’re REAL embarrassed.
@@andrewdill6109 6 and 7 starters were out for those games. Except for Beck, UGA is healthy going into the next game. It's definitely a different team with healthy starters.
UGA held Texas to 1.1 ypc TWICE. Georgia's one ugly loss was at Ole Miss with a very injury depleted O line where the left tackle had never played left tackle before against a DE that is NFL bound. Georgia has solidified it's O line play and Etienne is now healthy. Notre Dame is good, but UGA will win by at least two scores.
@@HeyItzTay-m7v Absolutely, I'm just saying you have to understand the context of the victory. UGA was battling the fatigue of their ridiculous schedule and major injuries along both lines of scrimmage at the time. They are not that team.
@@HeyItzTay-m7vteams That win in the SEC deserve their victories, especially on the road. There are no free giveaways in the SEC. Similarly, Kirby Smart has earned every victory that he has, including two consecutive National Championships, three consecutive undefeated regular seasons, 3 SEC Championships, and speaking more broadly every win that has positioned him as the conference'smost successful head coach over the course of the first 100 football games coached in the history of the conference..
No doubt. As an Irish Fan -- I think the Irish have the talent on their team to play with Elite squads .... I just don't think they see enough of them. UGA has elite talent, and they get to square off against elite talent pretty regularly (that's a huge advantage). I suppose ND could win (I hope) ... but the way I imagine them losing is: Coming out flat and being overwhelmed/stunned by how much better GA is than Indiana (or whoever) ... and by the time they figure out they can play with GA they're in too big a hole or too tired.
Notre Dame has also improved since 2017. Notre Dame is actually ascending right now. They might not win this game but their depth and NFL talent has increased. Their coach is going to be around for a while.
@ ND play some elite teams during their season then maybe I would agree with you. They was doing great at first scheduling quality opponents but then they decided to play an ACC schedule. We’ll see January 1 though
@@GODAWGS7709 I don’t think he’s even actually talking about the teams performance this season or what they did to mostly just the fact that Freeman is recruiting more top end athletes than Kelly or previous staffs ever did to Notre dame.
@@brianmoretti8995they aren’t though. ND has been hovering around 9-10 as far as talent for the last 5 seasons with 2022 being the outlier they where 7th. They haven’t increased their scheduling with better matchups so there is no real metric to even compare to say they are on the rise. You can’t say it’s bc they made the CFB playoffs bc that was only a result of lowering the bar. In all reality they aren’t doing any better than when they had Brian Kelly.
I can't describe how much I'm loving that nobody seems to notice TWO HIGHLY CRUCIAL DETAILS about UGA. First: Our offensive production doubled when Stockton came in. He brings a spark & a new and VERY DANGEROUS wrinkle to our offense!! Second: UGA went the entire season missing our 1st, 2nd, & 3rd string RBs!!! Our #1 Etienne missed 5 games. Our #2 Branson Robinson missed 9.5 games. And our #3 Roderick Robinson missed 12.5 games only taking 4 snaps in the last game of the regular season. ALL THREE WILL BE BACK & HEALTHY FOR ND!!! Nate Frazier who's been our RB workhorse all season, entered the season as our 4th string RB... he's healthy as well. We're also getting at least 2 WRs back. **Side Note: UGA also has not had ONE SINGLE GAME all season with our starting/first rotation defensive front-7 all healthy... They too will ALL BE AVAILABLE vs ND!! Same issue with our OL... AND THEY WILL ALL BE HEALTHY FOR ND!!! UGA will be healthier for ND than any other game this year!!*
UGA is battle tested. Ready for the smoke , lived for the smoke , been through the smoke all year. And Notre Dame Defense is not better than Texas. So that should tell you something. And you’re not putting up crazy numbers on that Georgia defense . You do the math
@@brendenstyre4784 Casual take. For Georgia, the QB1 is not that important as with other schools. We took a walk-on 4th string QB and won 2 Nattys. How?? It was the experienced coaching staff and players around the QB. It is not GA offense you have to worry about. It is Georgia defense that you need to be concerned about. There are levels to teams. Indiana was below ND and everyone saw what was about to happen. Georgia is a good match up to ND so should be interesting to watch.
@@YT5052 gunner went 12/16 for 71 passing yards and 1 int in a half of football. Why are yall Georgia fans acting so confident he’s gonna be that good in his first career start? He’s gunna have to carry the offense if Georgia wants to have a chance in hell to put up points against a defense that’s ranked in the top 5-10 in defensive catagories and #1 in turnover defense. And btw NDs offense is a lot better than GT so Georgia better figure it out.
@@brendenstyre4784 I am sure you mean well but just like most fans, you only look at Notre Dame's good stats and fail to dig deep into what makes GA a team that can win with Gunner. (1) Beck got injured and Gunner was put in as backup without any prep and no plays drawn up for him by the OC staff. Still rallied other players on offense to play better with him than with Beck in the second half, (2) what do you think could happen when the parts of our playbook that was closed after Stetson Bennet IV left Georgia are now opened back up with Gunner being a mobile QB like Stetson? We can now use 12 personnel again which opens up playaction. That will loosen up opposing team's defense and better rushing lanes for our RBs. That is why GA fans are excited. Beck is a pocket statue and can't do that or add that element of offense, (3) for Georgia, the offense is never about the QB1 like other schools, it is about allowing other playmakers to make plays and Gunner would be better at that then Beck was, (4) Georgia won 2 Nattys with a walk-on, 4th string backup QB who was mobile. Gunner is or can be Stetson 2.0 version b/c like I said, parts of our playbook can now be opened up with Gunner. Our RB efficiency is better with a mobile QB with playaction. (5) look up Texas defense and how Gunner played the second half of SECCG with ZERO prep. Now, give the coaches and Gunner 2 weeks to game plan and prep. Georgia will be the toughest test Notre Dame will face in the last 2-3 years by a huge margin. We actually have a Defense with pedigree that still got the *Junkyard Dawg* in their blood. Look up the teams that ND went against and compare Georgia's schedule and teams they played. All this to say, this game will be close, low scoring. Not sure why you are acting like ND has the upper hand against Georgia. Look at ND schedule and resume. ND is not a true blueblood team in the CFP era. *You Got to Beat the Man to Be The Man* as they say and ND fans acting like they already won the Natty - this is absurd and amusing for new rookie fans to the CFP to acting that way when they have not earned it or have the "Papers to show for it."
One thing you can absolutely count on is that Gunner Stockton is not going to have a negative rush yard stat. Beck's rushing yards this year is negative because he's a pocket passer, and has a tendency to hold the ball too long and take a sack. Stockton won't hesitate to run out of the pocket, and pass the ball, or tuck it and run. He was only sacked one time against Texas because he is so mobile. Carson would have been sacked at least 3-4 more times in that game. The only thing that gives me pause about his abilities, is his inexperience in games. He's played a total of 7 Quarters of live play in the 2 years he's been with UGA, which have all been amazing. BUT, he HAS experience in big time situations, and BIG TIME games. 2 TD's against Florida State last year, 2 TD's (kind of) against Texas this year with a comeback win over the Longhorns, and also 2 games this season in the 4th quarter. So it's not like he's that inexperienced. His completion rate right now is 78.1% over the 3 games (4 quaters) he played in this year. And he looked fantastic in the Spring game. Gunner Stockton is also NOT afraid of contact. And that's one thing that differentiates him from Carson Beck and Stetson Bennett. If you hit those two enough, you could get them off their game. Gunner will take the hit and get back up for the next down and go run a DB over on the next play, get up and laugh about it. He will ultimately be the glue holding the comradery of this Georgia team together. Carson Beck couldn't do it in two years because he acts like he's better than college football, Stetson Bennett was able to do it for the 2 years prior, and look where it took them. Back-to-back National Championships!!!
@@scottturner1504 Dude you are incorrect. It should be a close game, low scoring but we got plenty of our "Junkyard Dawgs" left in the tank for ND in the dirty dirty on Jan 1.
ND didn’t have to look impressive a matter a fact why would u try and “look impressive” just to give more good film on you to Georgia no they knew the game was in the bag immediately so they just wasted clock did super simple stuff and still won by double digits as a Nd fan they didn’t do anything they normally do to get big plays but why Risk the picks or health of ur players and give film on urself to what.. scare Georgia haha thats dumb
Gunner Stockton, like Stetson Bennett, is a winner. He's full of confidence and knows how to win. He's been winning his entire life. I don't think Notre Dame is ready for Gunner. GA by double digits.
Based on what? One half of college football? Don’t say high school bc the vast majority of HS QB’s that were Power 4 recruits were winners at that level.
@westonhull7595 That's one of the dumbest comments anyone has ever made. How do you know what someone plays like if you're not allowed to use his past performances? The vast majority of HS QBs didn't set a State record for most TDs passed with 177, while adding another 77 on the ground. And the only one half of meaningful college football he had, he brought his team back from a deficit to win.
@@chewbaka1496they were down by 3 and you act like that’s a comeback 😂. He threw 70 yards and a pick, he ran for 8 yards on 8 carries bringing his average up to .9 yards a carry this year😂 what a threat
@thelendalrock8675 And he led them to a come from behind victory. Please tell me what's not true about that sentence. The guy is a winner, and he will continue to win. Now, you have the privilege to just sit back and enjoy watching him lead his team to a win over Notre Dame.
We haven’t been walking around acting like UGA isn’t one of the most talented - if not THE most talented roster in football. I think we’ll give y’all hell but we are pretty beat up in the trenches. Funny enough I could see both teams stacking the box and then the game comes down to who wins on the perimeter. So who the hell knows
@ I’ve seen too many biased opinions but you seem to know what youre talking about. I hate the news about rylie but i still think itll be a great game. Whoever can play the cleanest ball wins this one!
@@Surge308no ND fans have been all over forums saying they are the best team ever. It’s insane really lol. If they win great but that will be the first big win in like 20 years.
Well Georgia is only a 1 point favorite. Georgia is great, but they're not as dominant as they were in 2021, 2022, and 2023. I think my Irish will win, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Georgia won. I do have respect for Georgia. I know Notre Dame has to play their best football to win. Georgia is not the team for any of my fellow Irish fans to get cocky with.
@@DCSk8er529 I thought the Irish was -1.5 in Vegas... That means the Irish is favored by 1.5 points... Did I read it wrong? We like being the underdogs. Go Dawgs~!!!
Joe, you're right - it will be a slow, grind-it-out game. And Georgia will dictate exactly how it's going to go. We are bigger, faster, and stronger. Just pray Kirby doesn't shoot them out of a cannon to start the game. Then it could get ugly.
You are wrong about everything you just said! True, Georgia has a bigger D line than ND but NDs LBs , corners, safeties are faster than Georgia’s! This isn’t a Brian Kelly team bud! Georgia may win because I think Georgia deserves that respect until proven otherwise, but hell no is ND gettin blown out!
@@FrankRizzo7080and this isn’t Georgia of 2 years ago. Can’t you see how things are leveling off? We’re 2 years into NIL, so you still have a residual SEC dirty money roster…UGA wins only because Beck isn’t starting

I’m a local Dawg and recently found you guys. Absolutely love the content.Joe making comments that Blake wants to argue, but he can’t articulate his words and so he just starts making sounds and his face says it all is my favorite lol.
I'm not. I'm an Irish fan, they have to play their best game to win. I expect a hard fought low scoring defensive battle with Georgia. To me it depends on which offense is more clutch, and which defense gets more turnovers. I have the utmost respect for Kriby Smart.
I think my Irish will win, but THEY MUST PLAY THEIR BEST GAME for that to happen. Nothing but respect to Georgia. It wouldn't shock me if Georgia won either. Kirby Smart is a smart man, his treack record shows. Hopefully Marcus has the boys ready. Regardless who wins, I think both defenses will be ready and it will be a very low scoring game.
Have to disagree with Blake about Georgia being a lock to stop run game. They’ve given up 170+ in 4 separate games this year. A few of those were also against mobile quarterbacks like Riley Leonard (Haynes King, Jalen Milroe)
Dude, not that simple in those terms. If that is how you plan a game then you are in for a surprise. Georgia is in the super heavy weight class in football. It is ND's first time at the big dance on the big stage under big lights. Nervous butterflies, etc. Georgia will be the toughest team ND will have faced in the last 5 years and the most difficult test. If you peel back on those teams with "mobile QBs" there are stark differences for each game and those games are not good references for ND's R. Leonard. You don't have the same personnel packages of those teams or offense philosophy other than mere mobility of the QBs. It will be a faster game than ND is used to.
@@YT5052 These dudes are so simple with their thinking. UGA literally has 3 weeks to prepare for this ND run game and these mfs really believe that defense is going to play like they did in those games lol
@@YT5052wtf are you actually talking about they don’t have the same “personnel packages”? ND has the best 3 headed rushing monster in all of college football. Get your head out of your own stinky ass and realize Notre Dame will win this game.
A close game could be decided by special teams. GU is down the best punter in the land now. Could 1 get blocked? Jeter the FG kicker for ND had a hamstring issue at end of the season and it was an issue. He looked good against IU! Which team will beat themselves the least? Dead ball penalties and dropped passes. You never know in one game.
Look up Georgia’s backup punter Drew Miller… won’t be that much of a drop off. Besides the tackling ability of Thorson, it wont affect us. Trust me, this kid has a leg on him
Notre dame’s defense plays a perfect game for a backup qb blitz heavy man coverage make u throw it up and guess what is waiting for that ball on the other side Xavier Watts.. 2INTs for watts ND wins 24-17
@ it’s called a rivalry game for a reason…..crazy things happen when your only goal is to win that game and ruin big brothers season….ask Alabama about Auburn
With Gunner it makes the RPO more effective. As long as third down is manageable then he will be successful. You will see Etienne YPC go up. He works best with a mobile QB. Although Beck was able to pull the ball when needed to and run, he ain’t built like that lol but the boy Gunner is
Homie no one is taking anything from the IRISH ☘️,lol. That said,it’s that UGA has played EVERYONE!!!! Georgia is 53 and 4 since 2021 (all Alabama losses and recently OL MISS)and hasn’t lost to anyone not SEC related since 2018 and that was Texas lol. Everyone wants to sleep on Georgia like they’ve done nothing and not accomplished anything lol and says WE WANT GEORGIA. No TF you don’t lol. I’m not saying we can’t be beat, and don’t have weaknesses and if we are beat I’ll give the Irish their Flowers, but come on man statistically,just on Our win percentage alone there’s a 93% chance you are not winning this lol .This is Kirby Smart lol Good luck
@@evocativ yea army and Indiana lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 half of the rest of your schedule, literally no one has heard of lol. I’m not saying your not good where your at, but understand WHERE YOUR AT!
I think will have some competitive games this weekend. The best thing that ever happened to Notre Dame was Brian Kelly leaving. I'm still picking Georgia.
Ok, I had to pause this at the 1:12 mark. Yes, ND looked very good against Indiana... BUT IT WAS AGAINST INDIANA!!! Yet another team with a great record & looked good throughout the season; but they didn't play ANYONE!! ND had a good season. But they too didn't play any powerhouse teams, and were fully healthy the entire season. They didn't get "truly" tested at any point by an elite team, because they didn't play any. And they lost to a VERY mediocre Northern Illinois. We will fully respect ND when we play them... Kirby will not allow our guys to look past them. They have a very talented team, but they just haven't gone up against anyone even remotely close to the talent at UGA!!!
Let's start with I'm not a GA fan , but the only thing holding them up this year is relievers and qb! Other than that their solid! I'm not kicking Beck but he has held them up, along with dropped passes. Gonna find out what sec play is about!
Blake while I agree that Georgia will likely contain the RB running game for large stretches. The point about UGA playing man all game is that playing man to man can allow chunk plays to a mobile QB like Riley Leonard
@ for sure which takes another man out of coverage and away from the pass rush. There’s pros and cons to every scheme was just saying that Blake acts like it’s just as simple as loading the box and playing man across the board may be wrong
Just on the running part, is R. Leonard as good at running as Milroe at Bama? If not, Leonard may see ghosts in the first half. This will be the toughest game ND have played to date. Not even close to your regular season opponents.
@@YT5052 for sure it’s the toughest game of their season it’s the second ranked team in the country. Has seemed though that in the few games where Georgia hasn’t looked stellar defensively were in the games they matched up against mobile QBs. Both Milroe and Haynes king ran all over them. I would say Leonard is a better runner than king but not milroe.
@@brianmoretti8995 Here is the thing I can share with you since you are not obnoxious and genuinely a college football fan like me. First, Milroe is faster in person than on tape. He is a class above your R. Leonard by a mile, not counting his throwing arm. So, saying that Bama beat GA with a mobile QB can be applied to ND winning it is absurd. Yes, some mobility will open up the defense but so is our QB Gunner who is dual threat QB. Beck is a statue in pocket and no wheels. Gunner opened up the part of our playbook that was closed since Stetson Bennett left. We can now use 12 personnel and that opens up playaction for us which will loosen up ND defense for a wider running lane for our RBs. BTW, we have more than one RB than can ball just so you know. As for Tech, they run a odd ball RPO offense which only H. King is really good at which ND cannot duplicate b/c that is not ND offense. Also, some of our really good coaches and players from our 21-22 championship winning teams transferred to Tech so they really know how to play against Georgia. It was not all because of a mobile QB. There is more to Tech coming close to beating us but what I shared are the most important parts.
If my Dawgs can keep the QB from leaving the pocket and running we'll be just fine. And we need to win both line of scrimmage. I respect ND to the fullest. But they better come to play, and so do we. May the best team (UGA) win.
The only thing I’m worried about is UGA playing conservative\small ball with Gunner. ND practices against this everyday. Dawgs are gonna have to take the top off of ND’s secondary early and let Etienne and Gunner lean on’em for about 200. UGA wins either way. It’s either gonna be close or Dawgs blow’em out.
Notre Dame is a team that's well coached, plays together, does not make many mental mistakes, and is sound with each phase of the game. That said, they're not physical enough to last 4 quarters in the trenches with Georgia. In both games against Texas, the Georgia Defense sacked the Texas QB's 13 times and held the Texas rushing attack to about 64 yards. Look for Georgia to pull away by midway of the third quarter. These thoughts are not intended to disrespect Notre Dame. ND is very good at their brand of football and plays with discipline. That will keep them in the game for a while, but, against a Georgia team that has had time to heal their players, it will be hard for ND to physically match up starting with both lines of scrimmage. The trenches are typically where these games are won or lost and ND/UGA will demonstrate this concept to the fullest.
if Al Golden was worth anything he would be in the SEC, your resume isn't as strong as you think. Kirby Smart is the best defensive mind in the sport and he has the rings to prove it. keep dreaming kid and relish your win over Indiana, lmao
@@sbeavers30721it’s weird to think that coaching in the sec is the end all be all saying if he was worth anything he’d be in the sec why wasn’t harbaugh coaching in the sec or Pete Carroll why didn’t belichek take a job with Mississippi state or any other sec team your logic is flawed.
@@5past5sports Pete Carroll lost his National title game to Texas, Harbaugh got lucky they shut UGA out after losing 1 game by 3 points and Belichek is washed up. We will see on the first day of 2025 if you are still flapping them gums
@ lmao saying harbaugh got lucky as if he wasn’t widely considered the best coach in college not named saban is almost as crazy as leaving out the fact that Pete Carroll won a championship the year before the rose bowl. It’s also weird to think the sec now this year with the transfer portal and nil is far and above better than the rest when there not. They only had 3 bids this year(I do think it should have been 4 but) the game is different now and the best coaches don’t need to be in the sec to prove that.
They have a low 3rd % but have one of the highest 4th % which complements your argument. A 3rd down stop doesn’t mean shit if you can’t stop a team on 4th down
I don’t think rational fans are sleeping on him he got recruited to Play QB at Georgia he’s probably pretty good. But your first start being in a quarter final playoff game against a very aggressive and opportunistic defense isn’t exactly ideal
@@DSGB2199 for sure I mean I think they ran the ball well as a team leading to that win. He didn’t particularly light up the defense he threw for 71 yards. He did what was asked of him and that’s fine but still very much an unknown
@@brianmoretti8995 Definitely not ideal but Gunner has played in the high school playoffs all three years he started in high school. He played in the high school All American game one year too. He's used to the big game. Hopefully, he keeps his emotions in check.
If you watch the game against Indiana, Indiana lived in ND backfield they just didn’t have the speed to run down Leonard. UGA doesn’t have that problem, they are fast, really fast and very disciplined on the edges, unlike Indiana. Texas looks like a pretty good comparison to ND just more talented and a better O-line. Texas rushed for 64 yards over 2 games against UGA Defense and allowed 15 sacks…..
I think Gunner Stockton can win for Georgia. It'll be a damn miracle but if you watch the Georgia spring game gunner ties the first string and would've beat Carson Beck and the first string had the kicker made the field goal as time expired. If any team can pull this off it's Georgia. Go DAWGS
Let's goo Dawgs and going to be a good game but we have been here one too many times Gunner steps up and Defense plays lights out think we win by 7 or more.
The amount of people in this comment section that think Notre Dame is going to beat Georgia by just lining up and running the ball for 4 quarters is absolutely delusional and shows extremely low football IQ. Using the Georgia Tech comparison is stupid too, they have WRs to stretch the field, Notre Dame doesn't. Better have another gameplan WHEN your run game gets shut down.
Remember all the talk around TX before they played UGA the 1st time? Then TX finally got punched in a mouth and went into half 23-0..! ND has 0 idea just how tough, physical and resilient this UGA team is. It will catch them off guard and it will cost them the game. 38-10 Go DAWGS 💪🏾
Just keeping it close in first half. Jalon walker is gonna be out to make some money. Hes gonna be a game changer. He will get a lot of doubles...and cj allen and mondon gonna be at closest to 100 percent. Bulldogs defense about to wake up. Also. Secret is Muschamp is back to help on the field. Stocktkn will only have to throw 18 passes. Ga is gonna run.
If Georgia wins this natty as the national baddy it will be Kirby Smart greatest win ever. 3/5 natty is dynasty levels like the chiefs. Kirby record in post is 5-1 and that one loss is Bama. Where exactly is Bama again??? Remember the natty is in Gunner the number #1 stunna home town city!! Sickem 🐶!!
Tennessee put up the exact same amount of rushing yards on Georgia as they did Ohio State. Only difference is, against Georgia the HAD Samson, whereas they only had backups in the OSU game. That's a testimate to the Georgia run defense. Notre Dame is a Rushing team. 2,891 yards rushing this year, compared to 2,293 passing yards. Passing is how you beat Georgia. Look at who has beaten Georgia this year. Ole Miss, and Alabama. And how did they do it? Passing. If not for Ryan Williams making 2 crazy catches this year, Alabama would have lost that game and Georgia would be a 1 loss team. Point is, Notre Dame's offense doesn't have the quality of run game that can beat Georgia. They run the same pro style offense that Georgia does, so the Georgia defense sees that style offense every day in practice, and can adjust to it easily. So if Notre Dame wants to win this game, they will have to put up over 300 yards passing next week
SEC and Georgia fans can never just admit they’re at a disadvantage in a matchup. Carson Beck gets announced as out and all of a sudden now Georgia is just better off with Gunnar Stockton as the starter??? It’s pathetic 😂😂😂
I’ve only got one thing to say to the Notre Dame fan in this video that is Notre Dame is 0 to 3 against GEORGIA Georgia has beaten Notre Dame in all three of the games that they have played against them. One of those was a sugar bowl this will be the second sugar bowl and when it’s all said done and over with Notre Dame will be a zero and four against GEORGIA enjoy the game cause I definitely will.
@ so Kirby will deliberately play inferior talent out of loyalty to that player? Got it. Then presumably, Kirby is relieved by this injury, as it allows him to put his best foot forward. No excuses then.
@@TJMcG37 I think I'll go with his methodology, got it. I'm pretty sure he has won more National Championships than you. So, I'll trust the professional, it seems to be working quite well.
@TJMcG37 Kirby is going with experience. Gunner, to most people have a higher ceiling of performance but he hasn't had a chance to get playing time and Beck has been winning games, except to Alabama and one to Ole' Miss. Gunner hasn't shown that he's the better QB because he hasn't had game time. Kirby hasn't figured out QB substitutions like Saban did. I think most teams in college would love to be in Georgia's position.
It is complicated for us GA fans and don't go there b/c you will open up a can of worms. There are pros and cons to your question. Let's leave it at that and let's not get snippy with your comments below. ND first time at the big dance with the invite and you fans are like kids in a candy store with snide comments. We had to deal with Michigan fans, Ohio State fans, TCU, etc. saying the same.
ND isn't big at the line on scrimmage. They rely on speed and athleticism. That probably won't work against UGA. Especially with Rylie Mills out. Just dont see them shutting down UGAs run game now.
Eventually ND will have to join a conference They could be ranked #1 and still not get a bye so we will see If my dawgs don’t turn the ball over and give them more Chances we should win
Gunner Stockton also played safety in high school and Malaki Starks said “Gunner hit me so hard one time I almost quit football” lol
No wonder he walked off the field like a champ after taking that hit. Dude is a stud
Starks said he went to the sidelines and took his pads off after the Gunner hit. LOL.
He said his Dad was yelling at him. LOL.
Too bad he plays qb and sucks
the stockton doubt is straight insanity. The #1 showcasing we have of the dude is him going out against texas in a dead ass game and bringing our offense to life by absolutely putting himself and his body on the line. I got chills on that first sneak he took and a certain mail man flashes before my eyes. Stockton wants it and by god is he gonna take it.
Al Goldens Defense is going to eat him alive
Yeah it’s just that int he threw*. It was sooooo bad and brings into question his experience. Also that crazy sideline throw was the wrong throw too. He had a wide open RB for the first down right in front of him that he didn’t see or chose not to throw to. I think he’ll be ok with the weeks of prep but, as a Georgia fan, I do worry a little bit about bad decision making under pressure.
Except Sark is atrocious at adjustments and always has been.
He doesn't have the arm strength. He made a few good plays and then looked terrible.
@@tomm.6265isn't he the same defensive coordinator for Alabama and Ole miss. If I'm correct, his defense SUCKS😂😂 #GODAWGS
Gunner is a North Georgia boy.. born & raised, rabun county baby. Gunner's gonna bring his A game, best believe it
🖤❤️ GO DAWGS!!
Georgia wins it All
😅
As a Dawg fan, I was impressed by Notre Dame, both sides of the ball they were physical and fundamentally sound. UGAs been up and down on both sides of the ball all year in almost every quarter, half and game. The only thing they consistently did was find a way to win in 4th quarter in tight, tough games. They’re tested by a tough schedule and some of the games that they should’ve won easily and found themselves in a dog fight till the end but won. Georgia never played one solid complete game all year. They played good halves but not a complete game. Maybe it’s going to come this game, I sure hope so. Kirby is definitely showing his team all the pundits that are picking against them, he does a great job usually getting his team up for these kind of games but in the end the players gotta play.
This will be a great game i have so much respect for Georgia you guys are so physical and talented I just hope My Irish can keep it close Good luck and may the best team win Go Irish ☘️
@@adambowers496as a dawg fan I think ND is the toughest team on this side of the bracket by far. Should be a great game.
We played a pretty complete game against Tennessee. I was there. I don’t remember it being bad.
@ yeah that’s probably one of our better games and we still went down 10-0 and didn’t score for the first 17 minutes. I would just love to actually get an early game lead for once. It’s like we’re always playing from behind. Imagine our defense with a lead and some help from the offense to give them rest in between drives.
I think it’s going to be a really good game but I do think that it will come down to how Gunner Stockton plays. We don’t know. Looking forward to it. Hopefully the next round produces a lot more quality games.
We aint Indiana. College football has levels Notre dame you made it to the boss level
Amen!
Sure buddy, got killed by ole miss, took all 4 quarters to beat Kentucky, took OT to beat GT, got embarrassed by Alabama and Texas in the first half. Sounds like you live in the past.
so does that make ole miss and tennessee the CEO?
@@andrewdill6109 Let’s live in the past a little bit more. One one of those teams won the SEC Championship and is #2 in the CFP. But yeah we’re REAL embarrassed.
@@andrewdill6109 6 and 7 starters were out for those games. Except for Beck, UGA is healthy going into the next game. It's definitely a different team with healthy starters.
UGA held Texas to 1.1 ypc TWICE. Georgia's one ugly loss was at Ole Miss with a very injury depleted O line where the left tackle had never played left tackle before against a DE that is NFL bound. Georgia has solidified it's O line play and Etienne is now healthy. Notre Dame is good, but UGA will win by at least two scores.
true but ole miss deserved that win.
@@HeyItzTay-m7v Absolutely, I'm just saying you have to understand the context of the victory. UGA was battling the fatigue of their ridiculous schedule and major injuries along both lines of scrimmage at the time. They are not that team.
@@HeyItzTay-m7vRESPECT your SEC champion. Ole miss hasn’t won nothing this year or last year or the year before 🤣
@@HeyItzTay-m7vteams That win in the SEC deserve their victories, especially on the road. There are no free giveaways in the SEC.
Similarly, Kirby Smart has earned every victory that he has, including two consecutive National Championships, three consecutive undefeated regular seasons, 3 SEC Championships, and speaking more broadly every win that has positioned him as the conference'smost successful head coach over the course of the first 100 football games coached in the history of the conference..
UGA is bin in more big games in this season than ND has in the last 5
English please, Coach Egg.
Talk is over, we're here and it's happening. We'll let it play out. This isn't a Brian Kelly Irish team😂. Just remember that
No doubt. As an Irish Fan -- I think the Irish have the talent on their team to play with Elite squads .... I just don't think they see enough of them. UGA has elite talent, and they get to square off against elite talent pretty regularly (that's a huge advantage). I suppose ND could win (I hope) ... but the way I imagine them losing is: Coming out flat and being overwhelmed/stunned by how much better GA is than Indiana (or whoever) ... and by the time they figure out they can play with GA they're in too big a hole or too tired.
Bunch of god damn Boomhaurs
Kirby Smart body bags teams he can make one dimensional.
❤DONT HOLF YOUR BREATH, GEORGIA
2017 Jake Fromm first start was against ND and I think Gunner is way better than Fromm
Notre Dame has also improved since 2017. Notre Dame is actually ascending right now. They might not win this game but their depth and NFL talent has increased. Their coach is going to be around for a while.
@ ND play some elite teams during their season then maybe I would agree with you. They was doing great at first scheduling quality opponents but then they decided to play an ACC schedule. We’ll see January 1 though
@@GODAWGS7709 I don’t think he’s even actually talking about the teams performance this season or what they did to mostly just the fact that Freeman is recruiting more top end athletes than Kelly or previous staffs ever did to Notre dame.
@@brianmoretti8995they aren’t though. ND has been hovering around 9-10 as far as talent for the last 5 seasons with 2022 being the outlier they where 7th.
They haven’t increased their scheduling with better matchups so there is no real metric to even compare to say they are on the rise. You can’t say it’s bc they made the CFB playoffs bc that was only a result of lowering the bar. In all reality they aren’t doing any better than when they had Brian Kelly.
In 2017 and 2021 Georgia enters backup QBs..they end up in national championship that same year. 2024? 👀
I can't describe how much I'm loving that nobody seems to notice TWO HIGHLY CRUCIAL DETAILS about UGA.
First: Our offensive production doubled when Stockton came in. He brings a spark & a new and VERY DANGEROUS wrinkle to our offense!!
Second: UGA went the entire season missing our 1st, 2nd, & 3rd string RBs!!! Our #1 Etienne missed 5 games. Our #2 Branson Robinson missed 9.5 games. And our #3 Roderick Robinson missed 12.5 games only taking 4 snaps in the last game of the regular season. ALL THREE WILL BE BACK & HEALTHY FOR ND!!! Nate Frazier who's been our RB workhorse all season, entered the season as our 4th string RB... he's healthy as well. We're also getting at least 2 WRs back.
**Side Note: UGA also has not had ONE SINGLE GAME all season with our starting/first rotation defensive front-7 all healthy... They too will ALL BE AVAILABLE vs ND!! Same issue with our OL... AND THEY WILL ALL BE HEALTHY FOR ND!!! UGA will be healthier for ND than any other game this year!!*
Stockton hasn’t thrown a td in over a year and he averages .9 yards a rush this season
UGA is battle tested. Ready for the smoke , lived for the smoke , been through the smoke all year. And Notre Dame Defense is not better than Texas. So that should tell you something. And you’re not putting up crazy numbers on that Georgia defense . You do the math
Gunner could be a more physical Stetson Bennett and if that’s true, the rest of the field better very afraid of GA
He’s not the first qb that can run ND has faced lol not even close
@@brendenstyre4784 Casual take. For Georgia, the QB1 is not that important as with other schools. We took a walk-on 4th string QB and won 2 Nattys. How?? It was the experienced coaching staff and players around the QB. It is not GA offense you have to worry about. It is Georgia defense that you need to be concerned about. There are levels to teams. Indiana was below ND and everyone saw what was about to happen. Georgia is a good match up to ND so should be interesting to watch.
@@YT5052 gunner went 12/16 for 71 passing yards and 1 int in a half of football. Why are yall Georgia fans acting so confident he’s gonna be that good in his first career start? He’s gunna have to carry the offense if Georgia wants to have a chance in hell to put up points against a defense that’s ranked in the top 5-10 in defensive catagories and #1 in turnover defense. And btw NDs offense is a lot better than GT so Georgia better figure it out.
@@brendenstyre4784 I am sure you mean well but just like most fans, you only look at Notre Dame's good stats and fail to dig deep into what makes GA a team that can win with Gunner. (1) Beck got injured and Gunner was put in as backup without any prep and no plays drawn up for him by the OC staff. Still rallied other players on offense to play better with him than with Beck in the second half, (2) what do you think could happen when the parts of our playbook that was closed after Stetson Bennet IV left Georgia are now opened back up with Gunner being a mobile QB like Stetson? We can now use 12 personnel again which opens up playaction. That will loosen up opposing team's defense and better rushing lanes for our RBs. That is why GA fans are excited. Beck is a pocket statue and can't do that or add that element of offense, (3) for Georgia, the offense is never about the QB1 like other schools, it is about allowing other playmakers to make plays and Gunner would be better at that then Beck was, (4) Georgia won 2 Nattys with a walk-on, 4th string backup QB who was mobile. Gunner is or can be Stetson 2.0 version b/c like I said, parts of our playbook can now be opened up with Gunner. Our RB efficiency is better with a mobile QB with playaction. (5) look up Texas defense and how Gunner played the second half of SECCG with ZERO prep. Now, give the coaches and Gunner 2 weeks to game plan and prep. Georgia will be the toughest test Notre Dame will face in the last 2-3 years by a huge margin. We actually have a Defense with pedigree that still got the *Junkyard Dawg* in their blood. Look up the teams that ND went against and compare Georgia's schedule and teams they played. All this to say, this game will be close, low scoring. Not sure why you are acting like ND has the upper hand against Georgia. Look at ND schedule and resume. ND is not a true blueblood team in the CFP era. *You Got to Beat the Man to Be The Man* as they say and ND fans acting like they already won the Natty - this is absurd and amusing for new rookie fans to the CFP to acting that way when they have not earned it or have the "Papers to show for it."
All I keep hearing about is this ND running game. Smh it’s gonna be a long day for the Irish if they don’t have a really good passing game
One thing you can absolutely count on is that Gunner Stockton is not going to have a negative rush yard stat. Beck's rushing yards this year is negative because he's a pocket passer, and has a tendency to hold the ball too long and take a sack. Stockton won't hesitate to run out of the pocket, and pass the ball, or tuck it and run. He was only sacked one time against Texas because he is so mobile. Carson would have been sacked at least 3-4 more times in that game. The only thing that gives me pause about his abilities, is his inexperience in games. He's played a total of 7 Quarters of live play in the 2 years he's been with UGA, which have all been amazing. BUT, he HAS experience in big time situations, and BIG TIME games. 2 TD's against Florida State last year, 2 TD's (kind of) against Texas this year with a comeback win over the Longhorns, and also 2 games this season in the 4th quarter. So it's not like he's that inexperienced. His completion rate right now is 78.1% over the 3 games (4 quaters) he played in this year. And he looked fantastic in the Spring game.
Gunner Stockton is also NOT afraid of contact. And that's one thing that differentiates him from Carson Beck and Stetson Bennett. If you hit those two enough, you could get them off their game. Gunner will take the hit and get back up for the next down and go run a DB over on the next play, get up and laugh about it.
He will ultimately be the glue holding the comradery of this Georgia team together. Carson Beck couldn't do it in two years because he acts like he's better than college football, Stetson Bennett was able to do it for the 2 years prior, and look where it took them. Back-to-back National Championships!!!
Georgia would have put 40+ on Indiana lol Outside of that big TD run ND didn't look all that impressive to me. Georgia wins by double digits.
Outside of that 98 yard run, Irish ran for 95 yards on 33 carries.
40 ? With what offense lmao 🤣 yall don't have receivers and got 1 running back
@@scottturner1504 Dude you are incorrect. It should be a close game, low scoring but we got plenty of our "Junkyard Dawgs" left in the tank for ND in the dirty dirty on Jan 1.

Gunner Stockton, like Stetson Bennett, is a winner. He's full of confidence and knows how to win. He's been winning his entire life. I don't think Notre Dame is ready for Gunner. GA by double digits.
Based on what? One half of college football? Don’t say high school bc the vast majority of HS QB’s that were Power 4 recruits were winners at that level.
@westonhull7595 That's one of the dumbest comments anyone has ever made. How do you know what someone plays like if you're not allowed to use his past performances?

I'm not. I'm an Irish fan, they have to play their best game to win. I expect a hard fought low scoring defensive battle with Georgia. To me it depends on which offense is more clutch, and which defense gets more turnovers. I have the utmost respect for Kriby Smart.
@@litedawg It wasn't that long ago. Just like those scenarios Georgia isn't favored by much. It will be close regardless who wins.
I think my Irish will win, but THEY MUST PLAY THEIR BEST GAME for that to happen. Nothing but respect to Georgia. It wouldn't shock me if Georgia won either. Kirby Smart is a smart man, his treack record shows. Hopefully Marcus has the boys ready. Regardless who wins, I think both defenses will be ready and it will be a very low scoring game.
Have to disagree with Blake about Georgia being a lock to stop run game. They’ve given up 170+ in 4 separate games this year. A few of those were also against mobile quarterbacks like Riley Leonard (Haynes King, Jalen Milroe)
Dude, not that simple in those terms. If that is how you plan a game then you are in for a surprise. Georgia is in the super heavy weight class in football. It is ND's first time at the big dance on the big stage under big lights. Nervous butterflies, etc. Georgia will be the toughest team ND will have faced in the last 5 years and the most difficult test. If you peel back on those teams with "mobile QBs" there are stark differences for each game and those games are not good references for ND's R. Leonard. You don't have the same personnel packages of those teams or offense philosophy other than mere mobility of the QBs. It will be a faster game than ND is used to.

Teams that can run win the games.
Can Georgia hand running QB?
Ok, I had to pause this at the 1:12 mark. Yes, ND looked very good against Indiana... BUT IT WAS AGAINST INDIANA!!! Yet another team with a great record & looked good throughout the season; but they didn't play ANYONE!! ND had a good season. But they too didn't play any powerhouse teams, and were fully healthy the entire season. They didn't get "truly" tested at any point by an elite team, because they didn't play any. And they lost to a VERY mediocre Northern Illinois. We will fully respect ND when we play them... Kirby will not allow our guys to look past them. They have a very talented team, but they just haven't gone up against anyone even remotely close to the talent at UGA!!!
Let's start with I'm not a GA fan , but the only thing holding them up this year is relievers and qb! Other than that their solid! I'm not kicking Beck but he has held them up, along with dropped passes. Gonna find out what sec play is about!
Everyone is dismissing the fact that Gunner can and will throw the ball. That's what Kirby and the rest of Dawg fans are banking on
Well you did call him a coward….He was right to get a bit heated.
Blake while I agree that Georgia will likely contain the RB running game for large stretches. The point about UGA playing man all game is that playing man to man can allow chunk plays to a mobile QB like Riley Leonard
Georgia can spy the QB
@ for sure which takes another man out of coverage and away from the pass rush. There’s pros and cons to every scheme was just saying that Blake acts like it’s just as simple as loading the box and playing man across the board may be wrong
Just on the running part, is R. Leonard as good at running as Milroe at Bama? If not, Leonard may see ghosts in the first half. This will be the toughest game ND have played to date. Not even close to your regular season opponents.
@@YT5052 for sure it’s the toughest game of their season it’s the second ranked team in the country. Has seemed though that in the few games where Georgia hasn’t looked stellar defensively were in the games they matched up against mobile QBs. Both Milroe and Haynes king ran all over them. I would say Leonard is a better runner than king but not milroe.
@@brianmoretti8995 Here is the thing I can share with you since you are not obnoxious and genuinely a college football fan like me. First, Milroe is faster in person than on tape. He is a class above your R. Leonard by a mile, not counting his throwing arm. So, saying that Bama beat GA with a mobile QB can be applied to ND winning it is absurd. Yes, some mobility will open up the defense but so is our QB Gunner who is dual threat QB. Beck is a statue in pocket and no wheels. Gunner opened up the part of our playbook that was closed since Stetson Bennett left. We can now use 12 personnel and that opens up playaction for us which will loosen up ND defense for a wider running lane for our RBs. BTW, we have more than one RB than can ball just so you know. As for Tech, they run a odd ball RPO offense which only H. King is really good at which ND cannot duplicate b/c that is not ND offense. Also, some of our really good coaches and players from our 21-22 championship winning teams transferred to Tech so they really know how to play against Georgia. It was not all because of a mobile QB. There is more to Tech coming close to beating us but what I shared are the most important parts.
I love when Notre Dame is the underdog let’s go Irish
If my Dawgs can keep the QB from leaving the pocket and running we'll be just fine. And we need to win both line of scrimmage. I respect ND to the fullest. But they better come to play, and so do we. May the best team (UGA) win.
Did anyone notice that riley had 3-4 seconds in the pocket? Not happening jan 1st
ND was shocked at the small size of Indiana. Prepare to be shocked again.
The only thing I’m worried about is UGA playing conservative\small ball with Gunner. ND practices against this everyday. Dawgs are gonna have to take the top off of ND’s secondary early and let Etienne and Gunner lean on’em for about 200. UGA wins either way. It’s either gonna be close or Dawgs blow’em out.
Notre Dame is a team that's well coached, plays together, does not make many mental mistakes, and is sound with each phase of the game. That said, they're not physical enough to last 4 quarters in the trenches with Georgia. In both games against Texas, the Georgia Defense sacked the Texas QB's 13 times and held the Texas rushing attack to about 64 yards. Look for Georgia to pull away by midway of the third quarter. These thoughts are not intended to disrespect Notre Dame. ND is very good at their brand of football and plays with discipline. That will keep them in the game for a while, but, against a Georgia team that has had time to heal their players, it will be hard for ND to physically match up starting with both lines of scrimmage. The trenches are typically where these games are won or lost and ND/UGA will demonstrate this concept to the fullest.
Well stated. It definitely will come down to the trenches, but ND does cause a lot of turnovers. Should be close. Go Irish!
I see Al Goldens Defense eating Stockton alive ND wins and covers for the 10th straight game Marcus has this team on a different level now
if Al Golden was worth anything he would be in the SEC, your resume isn't as strong as you think. Kirby Smart is the best defensive mind in the sport and he has the rings to prove it. keep dreaming kid and relish your win over Indiana, lmao
lol, this post won’t age well 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sbeavers30721it’s weird to think that coaching in the sec is the end all be all saying if he was worth anything he’d be in the sec why wasn’t harbaugh coaching in the sec or Pete Carroll why didn’t belichek take a job with Mississippi state or any other sec team your logic is flawed.
@@5past5sports Pete Carroll lost his National title game to Texas, Harbaugh got lucky they shut UGA out after losing 1 game by 3 points and Belichek is washed up. We will see on the first day of 2025 if you are still flapping them gums
@ lmao saying harbaugh got lucky as if he wasn’t widely considered the best coach in college not named saban is almost as crazy as leaving out the fact that Pete Carroll won a championship the year before the rose bowl. It’s also weird to think the sec now this year with the transfer portal and nil is far and above better than the rest when there not. They only had 3 bids this year(I do think it should have been 4 but) the game is different now and the best coaches don’t need to be in the sec to prove that.
I agree with both of you this game is gonna be tough Georgia is a great team and they are Dawgs pun intended 😅 Go Irish ☘️
For playing against ND, Georgia will have to be in our "Junkyard Dawgs" mode. Go Dawgs~!!! Sic 'em~!
ND has a terrible third down percentage because they have one of the fewest attempts on third down, FFS if your gonna trash ND at least know the team.
They have a low 3rd % but have one of the highest 4th % which complements your argument. A 3rd down stop doesn’t mean shit if you can’t stop a team on 4th down
Go DAWGS! Frazier gonna show out and watch out for that Gunner/Luckie combo! Georgia by 10-17 points
Georgia with a healthy Brock Bowers and time to prepare for playoffs would have curb stomped Michigan last year.
Yo, that "Coward" part cracked me up 🤣
Gunner broke all kinds of GA records in high school.
Don't sleep on him.
Like you said, there's no tape on him...
I don’t think rational fans are sleeping on him he got recruited to Play QB at Georgia he’s probably pretty good. But your first start being in a quarter final playoff game against a very aggressive and opportunistic defense isn’t exactly ideal
@@brianmoretti8995he already stared down texas from a deficit
@@DSGB2199 for sure I mean I think they ran the ball well as a team leading to that win. He didn’t particularly light up the defense he threw for 71 yards. He did what was asked of him and that’s fine but still very much an unknown
@@brianmoretti8995 Definitely not ideal but Gunner has played in the high school playoffs all three years he started in high school. He played in the high school All American game one year too. He's used to the big game. Hopefully, he keeps his emotions in check.
If you watch the game against Indiana, Indiana lived in ND backfield they just didn’t have the speed to run down Leonard.
UGA doesn’t have that problem, they are fast, really fast and very disciplined on the edges, unlike Indiana.
Texas looks like a pretty good comparison to ND just more talented and a better O-line. Texas rushed for 64 yards over 2 games against UGA Defense and allowed 15 sacks…..
Let's go Ga
I think Gunner Stockton can win for Georgia. It'll be a damn miracle but if you watch the Georgia spring game gunner ties the first string and would've beat Carson Beck and the first string had the kicker made the field goal as time expired. If any team can pull this off it's Georgia. Go DAWGS
I got Georgia and OSU in the natty.
Big game experience with players and especially coaching staff goes to UGA.
Let's goo Dawgs and going to be a good game but we have been here one too many times Gunner steps up and Defense plays lights out think we win by 7 or more.
The amount of people in this comment section that think Notre Dame is going to beat Georgia by just lining up and running the ball for 4 quarters is absolutely delusional and shows extremely low football IQ. Using the Georgia Tech comparison is stupid too, they have WRs to stretch the field, Notre Dame doesn't. Better have another gameplan WHEN your run game gets shut down.
Remember all the talk around TX before they played UGA the 1st time? Then TX finally got punched in a mouth and went into half 23-0..! ND has 0 idea just how tough, physical and resilient this UGA team is. It will catch them off guard and it will cost them the game. 38-10 Go DAWGS 💪🏾
I’m hoping Georgia beats ND the same way ND beat Indiana. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Georgia Dawgs got this,N.D. gonna be fodder,sic em Dawgs 🐾
Mills and and Cross being out, or playing really hurt, is death for ND
Notre Dame might win because they won’t underestimate Georgia regardless of who the quarterback will be.
Just keeping it close in first half. Jalon walker is gonna be out to make some money. Hes gonna be a game changer. He will get a lot of doubles...and cj allen and mondon gonna be at closest to 100 percent. Bulldogs defense about to wake up.
Also. Secret is Muschamp is back to help on the field. Stocktkn will only have to throw 18 passes. Ga is gonna run.
I'm a DAWG but I admire Joe for going with his team!
If Georgia wins this natty as the national baddy it will be Kirby Smart greatest win ever. 3/5 natty is dynasty levels like the chiefs. Kirby record in post is 5-1 and that one loss is Bama. Where exactly is Bama again??? Remember the natty is in Gunner the number #1 stunna home town city!! Sickem 🐶!!
Tennessee put up the exact same amount of rushing yards on Georgia as they did Ohio State. Only difference is, against Georgia the HAD Samson, whereas they only had backups in the OSU game. That's a testimate to the Georgia run defense.
Notre Dame is a Rushing team. 2,891 yards rushing this year, compared to 2,293 passing yards. Passing is how you beat Georgia. Look at who has beaten Georgia this year. Ole Miss, and Alabama. And how did they do it? Passing. If not for Ryan Williams making 2 crazy catches this year, Alabama would have lost that game and Georgia would be a 1 loss team.
Point is, Notre Dame's offense doesn't have the quality of run game that can beat Georgia. They run the same pro style offense that Georgia does, so the Georgia defense sees that style offense every day in practice, and can adjust to it easily. So if Notre Dame wants to win this game, they will have to put up over 300 yards passing next week
New Year's day boys
Outside of one busted run, Indiana held ND to 2.8 yards per carry. Come on guys…
SEC and Georgia fans can never just admit they’re at a disadvantage in a matchup. Carson Beck gets announced as out and all of a sudden now Georgia is just better off with Gunnar Stockton as the starter??? It’s pathetic 😂😂😂
Georgia need to open up the Stetson Bennett playbook in Georgia offensive coordinator he knows this use that was Stockton
"they aint gonna let you run the footbal!!" tell that to UMASS....
I’ve only got one thing to say to the Notre Dame fan in this video that is Notre Dame is 0 to 3 against GEORGIA Georgia has beaten Notre Dame in all three of the games that they have played against them. One of those was a sugar bowl this will be the second sugar bowl and when it’s all said done and over with Notre Dame will be a zero and four against GEORGIA enjoy the game cause I definitely will.
Joe, Joe c Mon man. Have you not seen Watts play bro?
Mills ain't playing though right
So, if BOTH teams play their BEST game, who wins? Keep it simple. #GODAWGS!! #PUMCKIT
The word Coward ain’t something you should use loosely.
Is GA better with Gunner or Carson? If Gunner, why couldn’t he beat out Carson? If Carson, what does GA lose with Gunner getting the start?
Because Kirby has QB loyalty, for good or bad, but he likes to ride one horse.
@ so Kirby will deliberately play inferior talent out of loyalty to that player? Got it. Then presumably, Kirby is relieved by this injury, as it allows him to put his best foot forward. No excuses then.
@@TJMcG37 I think I'll go with his methodology, got it. I'm pretty sure he has won more National Championships than you. So, I'll trust the professional, it seems to be working quite well.
@TJMcG37 Kirby is going with experience. Gunner, to most people have a higher ceiling of performance but he hasn't had a chance to get playing time and Beck has been winning games, except to Alabama and one to Ole' Miss. Gunner hasn't shown that he's the better QB because he hasn't had game time. Kirby hasn't figured out QB substitutions like Saban did. I think most teams in college would love to be in Georgia's position.
It is complicated for us GA fans and don't go there b/c you will open up a can of worms. There are pros and cons to your question. Let's leave it at that and let's not get snippy with your comments below. ND first time at the big dance with the invite and you fans are like kids in a candy store with snide comments. We had to deal with Michigan fans, Ohio State fans, TCU, etc. saying the same.
The ND game plan goes out the window in the first quarter.
Does Stockton throw Georgia back in the game if they get behind? Idk. Im not convinced. He has barely played. We'll see.
Number one Gunna
ND isn't big at the line on scrimmage. They rely on speed and athleticism. That probably won't work against UGA. Especially with Rylie Mills out. Just dont see them shutting down UGAs run game now.
If the ND defense can bring pressure I think Watts will be there to pick him off easily.
Yeah and so many teams that have played against GA said the same. Not many were able to walk away with a W.
@YT5052
TBD......
Let’s Go Dawgs!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Eventually ND will have to join a conference They could be ranked #1 and still not get a bye so we will see If my dawgs don’t turn the ball over and give them more Chances we should win
