This is an interesting point on the defense that we have discussed quite a bit. “He can beat you with your feet if you don’t pay attention.”

It’s a pro-style offense that requires a lot of adjustment for the defense. Georgia QB Stetson Bennett is both athletic and smart. Saban said in the old days when they ran the smashmouth offense, it helped develop a physical defense in practice. You have to have a certain kind of player to do that. “It’s always been our trademark here to play physical. Rewinding Saban show comments on Georgia, SEC title game I’ll go with Georgia 30, Alabama 20 and very much hope to be proven wrong. Yes, Alabama will have the best defense Georgia has seen since week one and the best passing attack they have seen all season, but Georgia’s #1 ranked defense will obviously be the best Alabama has seen by far, and the Georgia offense has enough weapons to move the football.Īnything can happen, but this feels like the Dawgs’ year. Meanwhile, Alabama can really only claim complete game performances against Mississippi State and Ole Miss, and even the latter is a bit of a stretch. I’m a sucker for consistency, and this Georgia team has played consistently all season. I’d love to go against the grain here, but I don’t find it likely. It is certainly plausible that Alabama can pull it off, though it would require everyone’s best game.

Absent something crazy happening in the turnover battle, Alabama has one clear path to victory: Have success in the passing game, shut down the run, and force Stetson Bennett into something of a shootout.
