Can We Put Someone Away?

Going into the UGA I was actually very confident we were the better team and believed we would win.

However, UK & Ole Miss, although pretty good teams, have really made my confidence level low.

As we head to UT I'm concerned. Their D is very good and they seem to pick off QB's a lot (JPW?). I know their O has been bad, but it seems they have at least settled on a QB and a style of play. They seem to be improving. 

But what worries me is not UT, but Bama's inability to put teams away at home none the less. We could not put Tulane away, let UGA make a comeback, and definitely could not put UK and Miss away. It seems it  doesn't matter who we play we have a hard time ending the game. If we let UT stay in the game you can never  tell what could happen late. 

This reminds me of not putting people away last year. Houston was a crazy game we almost lost and we certainly didn't put Ole Miss away when we had a chance last year . Even Colorado had a chance at the end. That game should have been a blow out but was tooooo close. Then the losses to FSU, MSU & ULM were just terrible football on display. (UGA, AU, & LSU had more players than us last year so those losses hurt but not as much.)

So, I expect to win Sat. as I believe we are the better team. But would I bet the house on this game? No, I wouldn't even bet dinner. I just hope we can put them away and relax a bit late and not be having as my daughter says "Come To Jesus Meetings" in the last 2 minutes.
