Who wins? Why? What does the other team need to do to win.
I'm going with UNC - just barely in this one. I think that UNC offense is dynamic and no matter how much of a "genius" Smart might be, the secondary at UGA is still the weak link in that defense. I also do not think that UGA will be able to get consistent pressure on the UNC QB and that Fedora's offense will keep them off balance and score enough points to win.
Defensively, GC will take advantage of UGA being in a new system. I do not think JE will start, he might play, but I think they go with GL or BR as the QB. They will depend a lot on Chubb, but the offensive line they had last year was better than the one they have this year.
I think UGA will try to rely on Chubb a bunch (nothing earth shattering there), and if he is healthy they will be take the air out of the ball and try to keep UNC off the field. If they get a key return by Mckenzie, which I think is likely in this game, and can get some T.O.'s the running game will be enough and they win by a FG or two.
