Nebraska takes on Georgia
Nebraska’s Bo Pellini is just one of a number of coaches coming in for question after a tough season so far.
Pellini’s most memorable performances included mocking the team’s loyal fanbase and being pictured with spittle flying out of his mouth as he turned up the crazy to 15 in confrontation with a referee in the Cornhuskers’ end-of-season loss to Iowa.
Georgia coach, Mark Richt, on the other side, has managed to keep himself out of trouble and in most people’s good books; although, you could be forgiven for thinking differently when considering how much flak he gets from the Bulldogs’ long-suffering fanbase.
Unfortunately for Richt, injuries have hurt his team all season long, including injury to star QB, Aaron Murray, who suffered a serious knee injury against Kentucky and will be replaced by Hutson Mason in the Gator Bowl.
The game’s going to be all about the running of Todd Gurley, who’s one of the best running backs in the country at the moment, and Ameer Abdullah for Nebraska, who put up 1,500 yards for the Huskers.
It promises to set up an interesting game – particularly with two defences who have struggled at not being able to stop the run (Georgia give up 141 yards per game to Nebraska’s 161), or simply being bad (Georgia are 80th in the country in points given up to Nebraska’s 55th). In each of their losses the Huskers conceded up over 30 points, making this game a very interesting game for Betfair fans.
While the bookmakers have Georgia as comfortable nine-point favorites, even without their quarterback, Murray, Nebraska will feel confident about springing a surprise.
