When the game does begin, the weather is sure to play a factor as both teams could rely even more on their workhorse running backs with field conditions making this SEC east game decided in the trenches.
Todd Gurley for Georgia and Mike Davis are sure to get a heavy workload on the day and the team with the best play from the offensive line could be the deciding factor is both teams are neutralized in the passing game.
