Get the most out of possessions

Georgia Tech wants to control the clock, exhaust Georgia’s defense and keep the Georgia offense on the sidelines. So it is important that Georgia gets everything they can out of each possession. Even if the Bulldogs can’t score, they’ll need first downs to keep the defense resting and to allow Brice Ramsey to flip the field position.

This is one thing Georgia football has not done all year. But besides their four losses, they’ve gotten by with it. They will not be as fortunate against Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs do not have the big play ability that past teams have had to be able to overwhelm Georgia Tech and make them change their game plan.

Dropped passes will be more devastating this week, as will run plays under two yards. Georgia needs to keep those two from happening as much as possible.

Lately the run game has been much better, a few more receivers have been stepping up for Jacob Eason and Rodrigo Blankenship has become a trustworthy kicker. So there is no reason to be pessimistic about the offenses chances against the Tech defense.
