In 2007, Oklahoma State was returning Adarius Bowman and one of the best offenses from the previous year.
UGA had just come off a pretty ugly 2006. UGA had Matt Stafford who had just finished the previous season with 7 TDs and 13 INTs. Massaquoi was coming off a sophomore slump. Moreno hadn't emerged, and the RBs weren't impressing anyone. UGA's OL was mediocre, but did have a couple seniors to fall back on (one of which had at least 2 penalties EVERY game). The team got better throughout the season, and finished well.
UGA won 35-14, and it really wasn't that close. Moreno didn't even really emerge in this game, but only showed a few flashes.
Everyone was picking OSU as the upset of the week. Two years later, more or less same crap.
OSU has an offense that was so great they beat 1 out of 5 ranked opponents last season.
UGA has just come off a pretty ugly 2008, and should get better as this season progresses. UGA has a 5th year senior at QB, the RBs haven't emerged with a clear winner yet. The OL is much more talented, but younger. AJ Green is one of the best in the country.
Mark Richt is 30-4 in opponents home stadiums. He has lost only one OOC game in 9 years and it took GT 9 tries and total second half meltdown by UGA to pull it off.
I expect a closer score, but UGA still wins.
Giving UGA 6 points should be WAY TOO MANY!

He was a highly rated QB coming out of high school.
He is a natural leader. The last time he lost a game starting at QB was before high school. He played at Independence high school and either broke Chris Leak's records or came very close.
He can make the college level passes and get the job done. He started one game for UGA, and we won it. He also came in one game for Stafford late, and led UGA to a come from behind win. He doesn't have Stafford's arm, so UGA will make a lot more high percentage passes, where Stafford was asked to make lwer percentage passes very often. He is accurate, so I would look for a good completion percentage.
Just because you haven't heard of him, doesn't make him bad. Joe Cox isn't likely to single handedly win any games, but he has enough talent and leadership to put UGA in a positon to win all of our games.

i love how you can always count on such an objective point of view from Georgia fans...
if i'm not mistaken, UGA has been the pre-season favorite to win it all for 100 years in row...

UGA fans don't think we will win all of our games. If you can get past your 1st grade reading compreshension skills, you would notice I said he has enough talent and leadership to put us in a position to win all of our games. Right before that part, I said he isn't likely to win a game by himself. The rest of the team, especially the defense, have to do their jobs since that is where we will be looking for people to win the games.
The kid has talent. He knows the offense as well as anyone. He isn't likely the weakest link on the team which so many ignorant people like yourself seem to believe.
That doesn't mean he couldn't turn into another Jonathan Crompton, but he will be asked to manage the game and provide leadership which are well within his capabilities.
It is actually an objective point of view of the guy. He has worked hard and stayed on the team when he had the opportunity to transfer after Stafford beat him out of a job.
There is no such thing as an unbeatable team. Ask USC fans about Oregon State and Stanford. Ask UF about Ole Miss last season. I'm sure Michigan remembers App. State, and the long list goes on.
However, you can always count on people like you to pick one or two words out of several paragrapghs, take it out of context, and attempt to verify some personal dislike without any common sense or facts. People like you are typically the reason I don't hang out on free message boards.
