It's the Advocare 100 Independence Bowl Dec 28th, 4:00pm ESPN
Shreveport, LA
Texas A&M Aggies vs the Georgia Bulldogs
The big question is which Aggie team is going to show up? Is it the one that kept it close vs Texas and thumped Texas Tech or is it the one that was thumped by Kansas State and Oklahoma. What will the effect be on the Georgia defense with 3 D coaches fired at the end of the season? There's only one way to find out.
The Aggies come in ranked 5th in total offense with a very balanced run (25th) and passing (22nd) attack. Jerrod Johnson is ranked 6th in total offense in the country. They also have Cyrus Gray who is averaging 25 yds per kick return and 57th in all purpose yards. On teh opposite side of the ball, the Dawgs are 70th in scoring D and 17th in TFLs led by Justin Houston (7th in TFLs) and Rennie Curran (15th in tackles). To get something going, I expect the Aggies will need to get the passing game fired since they're facing a pretty solid from rushing D (41st) and a pretty weak pass efficiency d (90th).
When the Dawgs have the bone, look for Joe Cox to find his favorite target AJ Green against an 84th ranked Aggie pass efficiency D. Ealey and King will have some success running the ball against a balanced Aggie D. On defense, The aggies are really balanced in a really bad way. They are 107th in total defense and 104th in scoring defense. Their lone bright spot is Von Miller who is personally 1st in sacks and 5th in TFLs making the Aggie defense
Pick: Georgia is favored by 7. I'm taking the late season Aggies who scored in the 30's in 4of their last 5 games and the points.
