Rumble in Jacksonville

STINCHCOMB PLANS TO PLAY: Standout Georgia offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb continues to be hobbled by a sprained knee, but said Wednesday he's expecting to play in Saturday night's game after missing last week's win over Kentucky.

"My knee is doing well," he said. "I pretty much live in the training room these days. I'm just trying to do everything I can to play Saturday. I feel pretty confident."

Two other offensive standouts who missed the UK game also are expected to play.

Tailback Musa Smith (thumb) has been practicing at full speed this week and will start Saturday night's game and play with a soft cast on his hand. Wide receiver Fred Gibson (thumb) also has a small cast on his hand and is expected to see some playing time against the Gators after seeing limited practice time this week.

"It's going to hurt regardless," Gibson said. "I've got to take the pain. I'm going to have to catch the ball with my body."

Not all the injury news is good for the 'Dogs. Starting outside linebacker Chris Clemons is very doubtful after severely spraining his knee in the Kentucky game. He's been on crutches all week.

If Clemons can't go, freshman Tony Taylor likely will start.

Said Georgia defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder: "(Not having Clemons) is kind of my approach right now. Even if he's able to play, it would be in a very limited role. Tony's very smart for a true freshman. I think he has a good understanding of our system and he's getting a little more physical on the field. I've got a lot of confidence in Tony."

How could you not like uga in this game? UGA beat a good bama team on the road, put over 50 at kentucky, and beat tenn at home. Kentucky almost came back and beat Florida at home, plus Florida has looked awful week to week. I don't care about their win in knoxville. UGA has a lot to play for, especially if they've gotten beaten the past 11 out of 12 times. Give me a reason not to bet on Georgia.

Have to put my 2 cents in, this is coming from a definite independent view as I am not a Gator or Dawg Fan.

But just looking at this game for the money, I have to believe Geo gets the cash. Grossman is the MOST OVERRATED QB IN THE NCAA. I watched this kid play the last couple three weeks and he gives me the impression that the season is over and he is just going thru the motions. He shows no emotion on the field or on the sideline, if it wasn't for his past years performances, I wouldn't look at him to start at a 1-AA college let alone being touted as a posiible Heisman candidate. This kid is done and so are the Gators, Zook won't be around long in Gainesville.

Geo wins and covers despite the injuries

Agree that Georgia should cover this one, but do not agree ctownguy that Grossman is so awful. He is a good quarterback without much help. The OLine at UF is mediocre at best and without a decent offensive line, a pocketpasser QB stands no chance. This obviously isn't Florida's year and Georgia is playing inspired football. These guys still feel they have a chance at the national championship trophy.

<b>Bulldogs -2.5</b>

I agree with you Profit1 - being a student down here on the plains, the Bulldogs better come prepared to play the Tigers on Nov 21. Jordan Hare will be rockin' and Tigers will be ready to play a hell of a game.

<b>Auburn ML</b> LoL

Good luck to all this weekend.

I don't think that grossman is awful but I don't think he has the same strength mentally and emotionally as greene and shockley.
I have noticed the abilily of both greene and shockley to relax in the pocket and avoid sacks to find the play. Grossman has the same ability but as you said, ctownguy, he has no emotion or drive to pick his team up. If GA takes any early lead, look for a blowout. If fla scores first it will be a good game. I read that ga players are talking about what needs to happen to hit the fiesta bowl and they are pumped up as hell. Ga needs a couple key losses from Miami and ND to come close. Also read remaining teams to face GA are all standing at 5-3.

GL!!!!:brows:

Sic em Dawgs!!!!!!

 

[pt1gard]

i really like GA here

i really like GA here

kinda scary no one is touting gators tho, but they have looked liek crap all year at home, that LSU game showed just how far they've dropped ...

one of best cappers I ever knew taught me to judge a teams current strengh off the basis of their last 3 games played ...

if GA had injuries at KY and put that 2nd half woodshed on them and coverd last 3, and FL hasn't covered in centuries, this game loox solid ...

gators did have bye so that's what I'm basing this low line on ...

heard GA HC talk last nite and he seemed confident, not cocky, and is really looking fwd. to batle

gl, gregg

 

[Punch23]

[USC Gamecock]

UGA 31
UF 20

 

[toast]

My offshore has GA at pickem now.. Looks like the public is on FLA

 

[RobertBIrish]

I know this is off topic but in the quote from the Orlando paper Shemp did't replace Curly, Curly replaced Shemp. Shemp was their before Curly believe it or not LOL a little Stooges trivia for you LMFAO.

 

[RobertBIrish]

Oh by the way live about 30 minutes from UF and I think this game comes down to coaching and I wouldn't bet a dime on Zook. Georgia has a much better coaching staff and it will show today.

 

[UT-Longhorn]

ALL YOU GEORGIA BACKERS ARE GONNA LOSE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you ask?

Ok, becauase WAYNE ALLAN "SCAM ARTIST" ROOT has just released his LIFETIME GUARANTEE GAME OF THE YEAR, 50,000****** LOCK on.......


Florida +2



:thefinger :thefinger



Guess its time to grab the bulldogs!

 

[USC Gamecock]

Just for that I think I'll add another 10 units on UGA now...thanks for the info.

 

[djchad]

Florida is a lock now, because Corso picked jawja to win. :lol:

 

[djchad]

The Georgia Bulldogs are going to kick tail.

It's great to be a Florida Gator

 

[TCSN]

I'd like to celebrate the fact we ruined the Bulldogs hope of a national title but in reality we all knew they wouldn't get there, they don't deserve too.

 

[djchad]

I'll be in Tallahassee for the Florida - Florida State game this year. The Gators could beat the Noles. And if they do, that feeling will not compare to beating the dawgs. Go ahead, print your shirts proclaiming a division championship before you earn it on the field. Both teams made plenty of mistakes on the field and missed plenty of scoring opportunities. But the better team won tonight fair and square.

Grossman's line tonight:
Rex Grossman 35 45 326 2 2

Combined uga QB line:
Greene/Shockley 14 36 169 1 1

 

[Ga Dawg]

It was a good game with a chity ending. Rather dissappointed in GA coaching. :shrug: As for Fla beating Fla State, who cares FLa st. sucks this year and wouldn't doub't it being Bowdens last year there. Fla should soak this feeling up because no one gives a rat's about the Noles this year. :nono: Once again the damn the gators take our feet out from under us and I am getting tired of it. Good job DJchad and hope you enjoyed it. I know it ruined my weekend. There is always the SEC champs and a good bowl game for us.

on to old miss in athens.
Go dawgs
