Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs have their eyes on their instate rival Georgia Tech, before a clash with Alabama in the SEC title game. However coach Kirby Smart will ensure the Dawgs don’t overlook the Minutemen.
Boston College, the University of South Florida, and Brigham Young are the three most notable opponents that the Minutemen have played this season. UMass lost all three of those games.
The UMass Minutemen have allowed 250+ yards on the ground seven times this season. Five times they allowed 300 or more yards on the ground. The Georgia Bulldogs have rushed for more than 300 yards in consecutive games, against top-notch SEC defensive teams Kentucky and Auburn. That’s a bad formula for the Minutemen.
I predict that the Bulldogs will run for over 250 yards, and that’s while playing backups for the entire second half. In fact I predict the Dawgs number five running back Prather Hudson will rush for a career high 47 yards and a touchdown.
I think we will also see a good bit of running back James Cook, tight end Luke Ford and wide receiver Demetris Robertson. That’s if Robertson is healthy enough to play.
Due to the fact that the Dawgs will play so many backups, I predict that they will barely cover the 41 point spread. I predict that the score will go under the 66 point total set.
Predicted Score: Georgia 52 UMass 10
