The #2 ranked Georgia Bulldogs are headed to Columbia, South Carolina to open up SEC play against the Gamecocks. Georgia is favored by 7 points in the 3:30 game tomorrow. For the first 2 games of the colleged football season, Knowshon Moreno has 26 carries for 227 yards (6 touchdowns) and 5 receptions for 83 yards. I fully expect Coach Richt to pound Knowshon Moreno during the South Carolina game, meaning his personal stats will continue to skyrocket.Last year against South Carolina, Richt abandoned the run. “I was wish we would’ve given it to him more,” Richt said. “I think I was partially responsible for that not happening, too, so I’m not throwing [offensive coordinator Mike] Bobo under the bus. I think we all can go back and say we should have handed him the ball more.” It’s no secret… if you want to win the game, give the ball to your best player.

Coach Richt said that his running backs will probably get about 30-35 carries a game, so if we assume Knowshon gets half of those… he’s looking at 15-18 carries a game. Combine that with a handful of receptions and that’s more then enough touches for him to light it up.

South Carolina is 1-1 with a loss to Vandy. There’s no reason why UGA shouldn’t kill them. I expect Knowshon Moreno to get 17 carries for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’ll also add in 3 receptions for 30 yards. Georgia wins the game 35-21.
