So UGA wants to be a run heavy team. Michel is essentially fine. Chubb will be back in at least reasonable form. O-line has a few guys returning (until we F Kublanow up). QB is unsettled... Got to run for a couple of hundred yards a game to win...
Well, as we here at Tennessee all know so well from years of frustration, if you don't get your receivers involved in blocking, you don't get the long runs. No way around that. That's just life....especially against physical DB's (of which we have a few). UGA usually thrives on long runs.
But the weights of their top 3 receivers/playmakers for 2016...
170, 180, 170...that being Terry Godwin, Stone Hands Davis, and Isaiah McKenzie...plus Jeb Blazovich their TE (good receiving one) is not exactly known for knocking people over. Those guys can't block a kicker.
Could be a serious issue for them. Almost as serious as the other half of the story, which is Jim Cheney, who has demonstrated an ability to really screw up the run calls on more than one occasion before.
