Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan...How Do They All Win

They can't, but here is what has to happen for them to get over the hump individually, plus a song or movie line to put it in layman's terms.

I have already hit on TCU and the fact that they have to pick their spots and play spot on to win against a bigger Michigan team. We’ve heard so much narrative talk about Ohio State redeeming themselves or Georgia as a behemoth of destiny. Michigan, mostly from Michigan fans, as a, “this year will be different.”

So, I figured I’d drop in some movies and music to go with what each team needs to do in order to get to the next level of this video game we call College Football.

“I never saved anything for the swim back”

It is from Gattaca and I’m pretty it is also in some Navy SEALS movie too. But the point being, for the Buckeyes to have a shot, let alone win, they have to use every single thing they have. Don’t worry about holding a play back for the title game. Don’t worry about not using a freshman because it will burn his redshirt in his fifth game.

You’re already short Jaxon Smith-Njigba, have been for the year anyways. You’re out Trayveon Henderson. Miyan Williams has a stomach bug.

Take out the biggest guns you can find and empty them against Georgia.

If there’s a play you’ve wanted to call all year, and you’re Ryan Day, call it. There is no “perfect moment” there is only, “how do we get to the next save point” in this game.

We also need to see CJ Stroud as a factor in the run game. Control the hanger.

If Stroud isn’t a factor in the run game then Ohio State is playing 10 on 11. And for a Georgia team already expected to beat them, being a man down and just playing with a Jugs machine ain’t going to cut it.

“SWEAR TO ME!!”

Batman Begins and while Michigan is not beginning, this is their second time in the playoff, the way they beat TCU is with pure force and intimidation. Make them know they don’t belong on the field with you.

Not confuse them. No trickeration. Not out-scheme them.

Terrify them and make them quit by absolutely brutalizing them and letting them look in your eyes and know you aren’t going to stop.

And look, I’m not saying TCU is some street tough up against a billionaire psycho, but they are a street tough up against a fully bankrolled lunatic. So, if you’re Michigan be the fully funded insane-o that you should be and not just rattle their cage, push their cage off the cliff and get ready for what happens next in the title game.

13 personnel. 1 RB, 3 TEs. Overload and just move them out of the way. Make their gap fits not matter because you’re mauling. Get Max Duggan uncomfortable by hitting him a lot in the pocket and anytime he decides to run.

“Seek and Destroy”

Not a movie reference.

But this has to be Georgia’s MO coming in.

You’re the odds on favorite to win it all.

Aside from weird games with Mizzou and Kent State, no one has sniffed you.

You’ve converted me into a believer in your offense on the heels of the SEC title game.

So go out, seek and destroy. Abuse Ohio State. Mush them. Make them hurt. If you hit them enough they’ll quit.

Win your 1-on-1 battles.

If you’re Jalen Carter that means 1-on-1s versus just about every Ohio State OL because you’re so versatile.

Win them all.

Kelee Ringo, win them all.

Ohio State should come in shooting every bullet they have, Georgia should come in like a yeti wearing kevlar so they rip their head off after they walk towards the gatling gun. For every Marvin Harrison Jr. almost play, Georgia should have a Brock Bowers or Darnell Washington actual play and then look at the Buckeyes like, “oh, you thought this was gonna be something else?”

We’ve got, “I never saved anything for the swim back,” plus, “SWEAR TO ME,” and, “Seek and Destroy.” Oh, and TCU is, “Aim small, miss small.”

That’s how they all can win, but if “SWEAR TO ME” is up against “Aim small, miss small” then I think Batman wins. Ohio State emptying the clip against a kevlar UGA team means the Dawgs get their hands around their neck and that’s a kill.

I expect a UGA-Michigan final, but at least we have things to look for that give opportunity. Ohio State needs to pull every rabbit out of the hat. TCU has got to find formations and personnel match-ups that they decide, “we’re taking a shot.”

Enjoy the games and the champagne.

Cheers.
