I'm not saying that they'll stop Georgia's front seven, but they'll do better than Clemson was doing.

UGA does have a monstrous DL.

I’m all for building cred but I think beating the number two team is more than a long shot ??

No offense but it ain’t gonna happen. Beat the spread, get out without any serious injuries, grab your check and focus on next week.

For those who are confused, imagine living 2 miles (crow flies) or 11 miles (driving) from Vermont and having a current Hokie. We spend a lot of time in Vermont, which just adds to the confusion.

never "Va Tech", no one calls Georgia Tech "Ga Tech"

I always refer to Virginia tech as VaTech and to Georgia Tech as GaTech. But, of course, I have no connection to either institution.

UTEP coach already said he will rest his star running back so it looks like it's going to be a big win for Boise St.

I don't blame him. I'd rather he gear up for conference play. There is nothing to gain by trying to beat Boise St.

Just roll over and play dead. Sheesh.

I have definitely heard Va Tech used on many occassions.

Geezus....that sends a terrible message to your team. You're essentially telling your own team you have no chance and you --as head coach-- don't even take the Boise game seriously. While you're at it, why not just tell the rest of your team that they are chopped liver, and you don't care about their health. LOL!

UGA's front seven are monsters. I'd bet three to four of them are first round picks. Johnston is a veteran and good under pressure at getting the ball out fast. He'll get some plays off. I just hope that he does not get broken.

Of course it is... but this is the best UAB team ever, and we're catching Georgia at a good time in a number of ways. Lots of injuries to WR and TE's, Covid, a QB with a core injury. UAB has to avoid turnovers, grab some, play clean without stupid penalties, etc. That said, upsets happen.

If we lose, we lost to the #2 team that it was not reasonable to expect us to beat. What have we got to lose? What have we got to gain?

No color yet in SW NH (we're practically in Mass, so we're at least a week or two behind the mountains).

I don't understand that at all. Boise is like a top 50 team, not a top 5.
