The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to avenge their regular season loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game, and earlier today Co-Owner and Publisher of Dawgs HQ Rusty Mansell joined The Morning Shift and talked about what he thinks is the most important thing Georgia has to do to take home the SEC Championship Saturday night.

“I think getting pressure to Ty Simpson to me, because if you let this guy, he’ll dial you up, and another thing too you can’t go all out man blitz because he’s so good with his feet, he’ll hurt you there. You have to pick your battles.” Rusty said

Mansell finished his thought by saying “If I’m Kirby we gotta get to him and then when we dial it up we gotta get home. A couple times they dialed it up on him and missed him one on one. You cannot let him hurt you that way.”

Getting the Crimson Tide behind the chains and making Ty Simpson feel uncomfortable will be imperative to Georgia avenging their lone loss this season, and taking home another SEC title.
