The Worst Case Scenario

During the duration of this three game win streak, I have seen Jeff Schultz heap what can be honestly characterized as at least a modicum of praise on the Dawgs, The Mayor at least tacitly acknowlege that we should defeat three of our last four opponents, and even Depressive Doug predicting back-to-back Bulldog victories!  I think the tenor of my verbiage alone should put you on notice but get ready for a full scale.....

 

DEBBIE DOWNER ALERT!

Frankly, I must express my dismay when the staunchest of Bulldog pessimists and malcontents have gone over to the dark... er, light side.  Vince Dooley would be ashamed at the unabashed hubris displayed of late by the normally morose Dawg Sports denziens.  Larry might well excommunicate this crowd from the Bulldog Nation for such an unprecedented level of unbridled optimism.  Where is Afghan Dawg when you really need him?!  

We all know that poor-mouthing one's team is the second most powerful force in all of college football (Les Miles is the first), so, in order to bring our karma back to acceptable levels and appease the ever-insatiable Vishnu, I give you...

THE WORST CASE SCENARIO for this Saturday's epic showdown football game between the JJorted Onesand our own 4-4 Georgia Bulldogs.

With the Dawgs on Defense

With a week off to relieve Steve Adazzio of any and all offensive input into the play calling prepare, the Gators finally recognize the futility that putting a square peg into a round hole entails.  They allow John Brantley to sit back in the pocket and systematically pick Georgia's secondary apart, with Vance Cuff and Bacarri Rambo continuing to excel in becoming accomplished thesbians.  Their first role?  Reprise the role of The Burned One, Bryan Evans.  They've had quite the audition over the first eight games of the 2010 season. I'd say Saturday could be the maraschino cherry on that Oscar campaign.  While Justin Houston and co. have collectively feasted on the weak and/or inexperienced offensive lines of the Volunteers, Commodores, and Wildcats, Florida's experience will give Brantley plenty of time to stay erect and make his first, second, and even third reads, further exacerbating the sieve-like qualities of our secondary. 

With the Dawgs on Offense

Not even the most Munsian pessimist can foresee a scenario where Aaron Murray becomes flustered and loses his poise.  But lets be honest.  The last three lines we have faced on both sides of the ball the past three weeks are probably the worst.  Can we keep our momentum in run-blocking up against a legitimate front four?  Because here is my bold prediction.  If we don't rush for 150 next week, we have no chance of winning. 

With the Dawgs on Special Teams

It seems that Drew Butler has finally shaken off his post-Ray Guy award hangover and is punting the ball with distance and hang time.  Tough to argue with the coverage units.  And equally tough to wax negatively about the return game.  But holy-Andy-Bailey Batman, what has gotten into Blair Walsh?  Three misses in two games (including an extra point) can't sit well for what could easily be a game decided by field goals. 

   

Just as the Dawgs were never as bad as 1-4, the Gators are nowhere near as bad as their 4-3 record indicates.  This is the same team with five-star talent literally oozing through the depth charts. They simply lack an identity and that's on the coaching staff.  With a week off to prepare, Urban will recify that.  If 90,000 armchair quarterbacks in Ben Hill-Griffin understand that the QB zone read "option" only works when, well, the QB is indeed an option, then sooner or later, the Florida coaches will as well.  And with Chris Rainey just dying itching to get on the field and a suddenly-healthy Jeffrey Demps, Brantley will have plenty of options.    

Now, with the necessary and obligatory sacrifice of pessimism to the college football gods,

Whichever acronym best serves you, be it GATA, KTMFD, or even FYG, at the end of the day, we can all agree on a simple GO DAWGS! 

 For the sake of the entire Bulldog Nation, especially us domiciliaries of the Sunshine State who have to deal with the inferiority complex year-round, please guys.  I ain't above beggin'!
