Other than beating Ole Piss same can really be said about Bama. UGA and Bama both beat Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn, with Florida and Auburn being .500 teams and both giving Bama close games. Those would be C grades if considered tests. LSU had a pretty down year but another close game. Bama also played TAMU but lost. Who else has tested Bama? |
I'd say this.
No 1, Unlike UGA, Alabama knows how win in close games.
No 2 I also think, unlike other defenses on UGAs schedule, Alabama can employ the same defensive scheme they used against Stetson Bennet last year which got him benched in that game.
Bennet is really short so Bama kept him in the pocket with their hands up. Bennet can't make completions if he can't see or his passes keep getting knocked down at the LOS. I suspect a couple of turnovers off tipped passes
No 3. The game is kinda irrelevant for UGA. I really don't know if UGA is going to show up for this game. They're guaranteed to make the playoffs and I don't think they believe they can blowout Alabama in order to keep them out of the playoffs.
No 4: It is UGA. 3-decades of underperforming is difficult to overcome.
