In 2007 against Alabama, Knowhon Moreno struggled. He was held to only 76 yards on the ground from 17 carries. Not like the Knowhon numbers we’ve seen thus far in 2008. Moreno is averaging 6.6 ypc and has 9 touchdowns through the first 4 games.Alabama won’t be an easy matchup. They’re ranked #8 in the country and have a strong defense. They’re entire defensive gameplan will be built around stopping the run, and specifically Knowhon Moreno. “I saw how high he can jump,” Alabama defensive end Bobby Greenwood said. “We all know he runs hard, so we’ve got to make sure to bring him down.” It’s clear the players have respect for Georgia’s running back. “He’s an amazing player, a spark plug,” defensive end Lorenzo Washington said. “He’s one of the toughest running backs I’ve ever seen. You can shut him down, shut him down, shut him down, keep hitting him, and then he’s going to bust out for a big run.”

But even the coach had something to say: “It’s not just that he’s a great athlete and a great running back,” UA coach Nick Saban said. “But you talk about a guy who has an unbelievable competitive spirit … He made a couple plays last year as far as extra effort that are just not to be compared to people we play against.”

I see weakness in the words of Nick Saban. I want Georgia to destroy Albama. A lot of experts are saying it’s a coin toss, but I see victory. I see 20 carries, 130 yards and 2 touchdowns.
