ATHENS, GA. --- Georgia's star defensive end Justin Houston will play in his first game since his two-game suspension this Saturday against Arkansas. Houston was suspended for violating team rules in the Spring. Georgia was fortunate enough to win the two games he was out. However, they did struggle to stop the pass. This was mainly due to the lack of pressure by the defensive ends.
When asked about playing, Houston had this to say, "I can't wait to go out there and play, man. I love this team and it killed me to not be out their with my boys. I made a mistake and I am very sad that I let my team, our coaches, and our great fans down. Now lets go kick some Razorback ass Saturday!"
Rece Davis: Alright guys, can Bobby Petrino and the Razorback pull off the upset over eighth ranked Georgia?
Lee Corso: No way, Jose! These bulldogs are on fire right now! Green is catching everything, King is running in, around, and through defenses, and Cox is being a game manager. They are good...and I mean real good. Arkansas looked good against Missouri State but..... that is Missouri State. This is Georgia. Arkansas can't match up with Richt's boys.
Kirk Herbstreit: Lee, you are forgetting something, good pal. Georgia has shown a weakness in giving up big plays in the passing game and has struggled to hold on to leads late. That is what Arkansas does best. Petrino's system is made for big plays in the air. Also, I seem to recall a certain Arkansas team coming from behind to beat LSU last year to end the season. I think I smell an upset here!
I don't know if Georgia fans can take much more of this. They seem to look great, dominant even in the first three quarters of every game, and then appear to just fall apart in the final quarter. They escaped against South Carolina winning 24-21. This game they would have lost if not for Caleb King putting on a "heisman-esque" performance. Georgia has many strengths. They are disciplined, they have a dominant running game, they have a stout run defense. But none of this will matter if they continue to play this way later on in the season. They have way too many turnovers and can't stop the pass. Sounds like a recipe for disaster in the SEC.
Against Arkansas, Georgia drove down the field in the first quarter to throw an interception for Six. They were dominant the rest of the half and went into halftime up 14-7. Arkansas scored their first offensive points on a field goal halfway through the quarter. The score was closer than the game actually was. Georgia answered to take a 21-10 lead but couldn't stop the Razorbacks from making a run at the end. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, King put his Dawgs on his back and carried them to victory.

Rece Davis: Last year, the hot upset pick was Arizona State beating Georgia. They failed to do so and underacheived the rest of the year. No one is really talking about this game, but can the Devils pull out the victory?
Kirk Herbstreit: Its going to be tough with the way Georgia is playing but I think they will. Arizona State is averaging 47 points a game and their defense is only allowing 13 so far. Sure, they haven't played the toughest teams but they have confidence right now. Something they didn't have last year when UNLV upset them the week before. I think Georgia will be looking ahead to next week's clash against sixth ranked LSU and that is never a good thing. Upset Special on this one!
Lee Corso: Upset?! Are you kidding me? Georgia proved last year that SEC was king. Speaking of king, how about Caleb King. He is unstoppable right now! He ran for 250 plus yards last week. He is a playmaker. Georgia's defense wasn't great last year and they dominated the Devils from the start. Its not even gonna be a close game. I'm thinking something like 31-14 Dawgs!
