Georgia Insider LEAKS TRUTH Before UGA vs Oklahoma Sooners! | UGA Football | Dawgs · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: On to Athens, where Georgia welcomes in an Oklahoma team
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that could not be more different offensively and defensively. Just
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one of the best defenses you'll find, one of the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: worst offenses you'll find right now as far as their
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: current level of play. This is presented by PrizePix. You
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: cover Georgia very closely and do a great job with them.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But on the Oklahoma side, I don't know that there's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: many teams you would want to go play when your
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: offense is struggling defensively. in this sec, but I certainly
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: know that Kirby smarts defense wouldn't be one of them.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And so that, that feels like a complete buzzsaw to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: me if Georgia can take care of business, but what
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts or are there any, is there any
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hope for Oklahoma this weekend?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's hope for sure. Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I mean that, look, I think that Brent Venables is
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a good coach. Uh, I think that we saw Oklahoma
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: in a spot last year at one point where their,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: their back was kind of.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Against the wall. and they closed the season very strong.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They came back.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: They beat Alabama on the road when a lot of
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: people sort of had some of these similar labels around
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: their offense and feeling like, oh, Mateer sucks and they
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: can't do anything but hope to hit explosive plays with
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Cetania. That feels kind of like what people are
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: saying this week as well, and we saw them turn
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: that around by in part having some some big plays
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: defensively and, and turning, you know, turning Alabama over. So
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I think when you've got a defense as good as
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma's defense, you always have a chance because it's a
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: high floor that can keep you in a game. And
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it's never too late to figure something out offensively. The,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the mature quote about like using the crowd to realize
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the guy was open.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: That would scare me a lot.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: If I'm an Oklahoma fan, like that's a, that's a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: pretty wild, admission.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying those things don't happen.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I just was kind of stunned that we got that
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: into the public domain.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Certain things happen. Certain things are just supposed to be unsaid.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: That's the point. Don't say that. When you look at
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this game, Georgia against Arkansas, we didn't do an Arkansas
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: preview because the spread was so big and obviously we'll
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: save Georgia for Some of their bigger matchups like this
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: one and others that will happen this year, the Florida
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: game and the Bama game. But Georgia offensively against a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: really good Oklahoma defense. An Oklahoma defense that knows they
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: need to go basically do what they did against Michigan
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and not have that big turnover at the end. They
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: need to hold them down. Now, they're playing an offense
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that's much better than Michigan's offense was. But, I mean,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma knows what they need to do to go out
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and compete in this game. They understand they're a two-touchdown
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: dog in this thing. Georgia's plan of attack against an
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma defense that, though losing David Stone this week, which
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: absolutely sucks, still a really good front and a really
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: good defense for Brett Venables. Are you thinking that Georgia
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: plays this, not conservatively, but almost like, man, Oklahoma's not
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: going to take a lot of risks and make Oklahoma
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: prove that they can win? convert before we really go
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: crazy with this? Do you think, conservatively is the wrong word,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: but is it kind of a, hey, we're not going
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to make the mistakes that let them stick around when
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: they'll probably just do it themselves?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I am very curious what the approach is.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think we've seen Georgia really open the playbook
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: yet offensively.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, they went and just sat on the ball
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: at Arkansas. They ran the ball.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: On 23 of their first 29 snaps, which got them
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to halftime up 21 to three. And then they came out,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: went on like a six minute drive, turned Arkansas over
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: three plays later, scored a touchdown three and outed them
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and then hit a 61 yard bomb to make it
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: 38 to three and send everybody to the bench with
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: like 12 and a half minutes to go. So I,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I think that this Georgia offense, the way that it
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is being talked about nationally is kind of picking up
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the baton from last year where there's sort of this
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: assumption that they're maybe not that explosive and Gunnar Stockton
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: is mid or whatever people want to say. And I
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: just think that people will be a little bit surprised
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: as this season goes on. I do think this is
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a much more dynamic offense offense. I think this is
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a different version of Gunnar Stockton than what we've seen
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: so far in his career. I think he has evolved
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: as a passer just in terms of he is not
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: looking to run the football on passing downs anymore.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: He can still do it if he needs to. He
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: had a 60-yard rush.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Last week on a design run, but he is much
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: more disciplined in terms of keeping his eyes downfield and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: trying to create explosives when things start breaking down, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: it's like To me, that version of Gunnar Stockton is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: one that Georgia could go very, very far with when
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you look at what they've got on defense. So I
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: think this Georgia offense, it's tough to answer your question directly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that running the ball into the teeth
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: of a really good Oklahoma front over and over is
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: a ton.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: More safe than.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think you want to let Oklahoma hang around
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: with Isaiah Cetania on the other side. I just think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that he's a guy who can go 70 if you
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: make a leverage mistake, which Georgia's made a couple of
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: this year, to be frank, at the safety position. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just not sure that that's how you want to
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: play this. And that will be very fascinating to watch
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: because I think that sometimes there is a tendency, for
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: lack of a better term, with Kirby– to like feel
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: good about his defense in a game and really.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Want to try and protect that defense. And that, that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: would not be smart.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, his rhetoric has been different throughout this
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: off season and really throughout the early season. Like last week,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: post game, he was asked, was your team as physical
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: as you want them to be? And he was like, yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: at times, but that's not the only thing, right? Like
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I've seen teams that are really explosive that aren't physical
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: at all. And it's just, he's thinking in those terms,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: More than I've ever seen him. Like this might be
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: sort of his Saban Kiffin moment. If that makes sense,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: where we're seeing him say, okay, like I've got, yes.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Like I want to be able to run the ball
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and I want to be able to do a lot
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: of things that Georgia's offense was able to do well
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I got to be able to have some, some easy
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: points and some easy yards that flip things. And I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: think they'll look for explosive plays early. I think they'll
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: try and take, advantage of an aggressive defense being aggressive
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and try to find a way to kind of hit
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: that and get some things going.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to chatting with Graham, but first
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at PrizePix.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: All new users who play a $ 5 lineup there and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: win get $ 150 in lineups instantly if they use code HMA.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I am taking the more on Jaden Ball's rushing touchdowns
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm taking the more on Trinidad Chambliss' passing touchdowns.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They're both 1.5 I feel really good about Trinidad. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know it'll be work for Jaden to get two on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the ground, but I think he gets it done. Go
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: set a lineup just like that. Appreciate our friends over
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: at PrizePix. Again, use the code HMA. Now back to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the clip. Georgia defensively up against Oklahoma, an offense that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: has not shown a lot this year outside of, I guess,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the UTEP game, which I don't know how much you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: read into that or don't read into that because Michigan
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: also put a crap ton of points up on them
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: for the first time this year. But Georgia defensively, is it...
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Is it truly about, like, you know, just not letting
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: guys like Satanga beat you? Like, is it a lot
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: too high? Like, are they trying to get– I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Mateer under pressure hasn't been great. Just thoughts around, like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the way they'll approach this game from that perspective when
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you do know that it's an offense that's very much struggling.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's– it certainly is. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Satanga storyline is a huge one. I think the Georgia
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: run defense is really salty. It was fourth nationally last year.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: They returned– all but a couple guys up front. They
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: are doing all the things you want to see them
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: do in terms of defending the run.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Early in the season.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Not just that they are stopping those plays, but just
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the way that they play their edges and.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: The way that everybody gets to the football.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: It would surprise me a lot if Oklahoma came in
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and just ripped off six yards per carry or something
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: like that. I don't see that happening. It becomes a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: question of You get Mateer into third and long. Do
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: you want to play him soft or do you want
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: to play him aggressively? I haven't seen this Georgia pass
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: rush really impress me yet in terms of its front four.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I think that their inside linebackers are awesome when they
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: use them in pressure packages. But those inside linebackers are
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: also great athletes. And I think that if you look
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: at Mateer right now, the thing he might be most
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: comfortable doing is throwing to Rocky Beers. that tight end
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: of theirs. And they, they probably need to do that
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: in this game. Cause I just don't know that Satania
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: is the type of guy who material is going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: hit like nine times or something for third down conversions or,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: or just like small chunk plays. Like he's the one
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: where you got to hit the big wheel and, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: hope that it busts. So I just think that Georgia
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: needs to, Not be conservative on how they play.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma in third down, obviously. But I do think that
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it would be a mistake to.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Just assume Mateer is going to not be able to
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: hit somebody in man-to-man coverage. I think that you're talking
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: about a quarterback who has expressed very openly that that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: he's not seeing the field right now. And I think
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that goes back to all the things we were just
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: talking about with that Tennessee-Texas matchup, right? Where you want
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to vary your looks and you want to drop a
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: defensive line out. You want to find ways to give
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: him something different post-snap than what he reads pre-snap. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I think if Georgia does that, they will freeze him
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: on a lot of his first reads. And that could
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: help his pass rush. And it also could help him
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: throw an interception or two. So I think Georgia will
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: have plenty of scheme in this game. I don't think
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: they'll go one way or the other, but I do
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: expect Georgia's linebackers, like if you're wondering what they're doing
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: on third downs, it'll be fun to watch. Where's Chris Cole?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Is he on the edge or is he lined up
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: over the tight end in the slot or somewhere like that?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And then where's Justin Williams, who? has been very, very
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: good for them on blitz packages so far this year.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Should have had two sacks last week against Arkansas on
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: like six or seven pass rush snaps. So they'll have
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: different things to show material, but the time that they
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: use them– like the question for Oklahoma in this game
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: is can you catch Georgia being a little too aggressive
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: once or twice and get someone loose in man coverage
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: for the big play that flips the field and gets
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you points? Because I feel like that's– and then hope
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: your defense– can force a couple turnovers. That, to me,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: feels like the game.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Huge number in this one. 14 points. It is in Athens. Again,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with how Oklahoma's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: offense has looked. A lot of it has to do
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: with Oklahoma not really impressing last week. I expect Oklahoma
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to play better. I just don't know if they can
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: get enough going offensively. Like, if you told me that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Georgia got to 28, I might feel good about this
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: spread there. And that's kind of where I'm at now.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: If it is more of a rock fight, they're able
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to do some things nicely defensively. Like maybe that keeps
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: them around. I just, I, I need to see it. I, I,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I am having a tough time believing that this game
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is ultra, ultra competitive, um, late in the fourth quarter.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And I could see Oklahoma covering, but I need to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: see it before I'll say it. So I'll take UGA
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: minus 14 in this one. Um, if it's a, if
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it's a grinded out lower scoring game that Georgia wins 21, 13,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and they don't cover the spread, but it's never really
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: in doubt. Like I, you know, Kirby will be fine.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Like he wants to win games, but I, I, uh, I,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I like Georgia to cover here and I don't think
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that's too Homer ish. And I'm not just trying to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: be nice to you. I took an upset. I've taken
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: both upsets so far. So I guess I'll take one
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: favorite on this, on the points today.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I feel like this is a game that,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Georgia has a pretty good shot at controlling.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: The David Stone news is huge to me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, the other side of it is, like,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Georgia did have Nate Frazier go out of the game
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: last Saturday at Arkansas.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He appears to be fine in the big picture.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: But he's been playing at a really high level to
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: start the season, like, running over dudes legitimately.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Like, as physical of a running back as I've seen
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: in a Georgia uniform in a while.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: If that– Injury that he had at Arkansas slows him
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: like 25%. I do think that changes the calculus a
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: little bit for Georgia's ability to run the football. I
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: still think they'll be able to run the football. But
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I just kind of feel like that this could be
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: a game that Georgia controls and wins, but like Oklahoma
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: backdoors it somehow and covers the spread. The 14 feels
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: like a lot. I think this is a really good
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Georgia team that's going to put like be back in
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a level of compete for a national title from– I
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: know they've made the playoff the last two years, but
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I think that this team has a higher ceiling than
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: any of the ones that we've seen since 2023.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So I'm picking Georgia to win, but I do have
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: a feeling that Oklahoma is.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Going to rally the troops and that they're going to
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: come in and that they're going to play well and
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that they will– you know, have some new stuff to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: show to Georgia in this game. And they will hit
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: a play or two. And I think this stays close
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: through the first half. And, you know, I think that
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Georgia wins and kind of pulls away and, like, wins
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: by 10.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: But I'm not in
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: The camp of Georgia's going to go in and blow
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma out in this one.
