Teblows Last Dance

Well boys and girls I hope you've enjoyed your off-week as thoroughly as I have, but now it's time to get back to the nitty gritty. I'll be posting my prediction and recipe tomorrow evening, but I wanted to go ahead and give you some positional breakdowns with a little help from Scouts Inc. Enjoy and check back in tomorrow for updates.

Georgia offense vs. Florida defense

• Georgia has used four different starting offensive line combinations this year, and while Cordy Glenn has started the past four games at left tackle, he has also started at both guard spots. At 328 pounds, Glenn can engulf defensive tackles and ends when he gets into position but he struggles with quickness. He's going to have a difficult time handling the Gators' speed off the edge if he's asked to line up at tackle, which is why it makes sense that he reportedly moved back to guard during the bye week. However, Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong can slide the versatile DL Carlos Dunlap inside, and Dunlap has the explosive first step to beat Glenn off the ball and the upper-body strength to shed blocks quickly.

• Florida's Joe Haden and Janoris Jenkins form perhaps the best cornerback tandem in the nation, but Haden (5-foot-11, 190 pounds) and Jenkins (5-11, 188) don't have great size. Georgia can exploit this vulnerability by lining up the 6-3, 230-pound TE Orson Charles at receiver and isolating him on one side of the formation. QB Joe Cox can then just loft the ball up and let Charles go get it, because Charles has the long arms to high-point the ball and shows good body control in the air.

• Look for Georgia to attack the middle of the Florida run defense. True freshman RB Washaun Ealey and 222-pound backup Richard Samuel are both tough between-the-tackles runners who can lower their shoulders and pick up yards after contact. In addition, FB Fred Munzenmeir is an effective lead blocker who has done a nice job filling in for the injured Shaun Chapas. On the flip side, Gators MLB Brandon Spikes is questionable with a groin injury that forced him to miss the Mississippi State game, and Florida's interior defensive line is banged-up.

Florida offense vs. Georgia defense

• Head coach Urban Meyer expects WR/RB Jeffery Demps to play even though Demps hurt his neck last week and is wearing a brace. Demps reaches top speed in a flash when he gets a seam, so the Bulldogs must stay in their gaps when he gets the carry. In addition, the Gators can line Demps up wide and run screens to him in an effort to get him into space. The Bulldogs must swarm to the ball and wrap up on contact when that happens because Demps is a shifty open-field runner who can make more than one defender miss. If Demps doesn't play or is limited, fellow speedster Chris Rainey will need to step up.

• Florida will likely continue to have problems running QB Tim Tebow inside in short-yardage and red zone situations. Tebow is a north-south power runner who needs a seam to be truly effective, and Florida's interior offensive line is allowing too much penetration. Georgia DT Geno Atkins is at his best using his above-average initial quickness and upper-body strength to shoot gaps and disrupt plays in the backfield. He is surrounded by a strong supporting cast as well, with the 315-pound Kade Weston getting good push up the middle and the active Jeff Owens holding his own at the point of attack.

• The Gators simplify Tebow's reads in a number of ways, including rolling him out of the pocket, running quick screens and running shuffle passes. These plays are designed to get their three best playmakers -- Tebow, Demps and TE Aaron Hernandez -- into space. Problem is, spaces become much smaller in the red zone, and that limits the effectiveness of such plays. Florida can and has created favorable one-on-one matchups by spreading the field in the red zone, but Tebow has been having trouble locating the open man and delivering the ball in rhythm over the past two games. Georgia can't let Tebow off the hook by biting on play-fakes or stepping up in run support too early.

Key individual matchup

Georgia WR A.J. Green vs. Florida CB Joe Haden

Scouts will keep a close eye on this matchup between players with first-round potential. When his footwork is sound, Haden has the burst and fluid hips to stay with Green underneath, and he rarely takes false steps. His ability to close on the ball in a flash and make plays when he gets there should also make Cox hesitant to throw at Haden. Green won't have much success getting behind Haden, either, because Haden is fast enough to turn and run with him. However, the 6-foot-4 Green has a significant height advantage, is an excellent leaper and has the long arms to snatch the ball out of the air, so he's capable of coming down with any jump balls.
