Independence Bowl

The Independence Bowl: Texas A&M vs. Georgia


Texas A&M showed very well against Texas and one would think that they could pass their way to victory against the offensively stymied Georgia team. However, SEC defense will always beat out a Big 12 team with no true game changers. Please note this is not necesarily true of what would happen in the BCS title game, but that’s another preview. Ultimately Georgia wins this game.


Prospects to Watch in this Game


Georgia, Defensive Tackle, Geno Atkins and Jeff Owens: I’m kinda cheating here, but both are on the radar. Atkins is considered the better of the two, but Owens has had his moments. Both a little shorter than ideal, but both have shown the ability to be solid contributors. Both are third day (4-7 rounds) prospects.


Texas A&M, Cornerback/Returner, Jordan Pugh: His play as a corner is questionable, but he clearly has solid return skills and the ability to contribute on special teams as a gunner.
