Key Storylines
- Quarterback Arms on Display: Alabama’s Ty Simpson has thrown for 862 yards with nine touchdowns and no interceptions so far this season. Georgia’s Gunner Stockton has 721 passing yards with four touchdowns and zero picks. The turnover-free performance by both is impressive so far this season. The quarterback who does the best job of avoiding turnovers in this game will help their team immensely in this contest.
- Run Game Contrast: Alabama is averaging about 123.7 rushing yards per game, while Georgia has been much stronger on the ground with over 200 rushing yards per game. The Bulldogs’ ability to control tempo via the run and get rushing production from their quarterback could give them an edge here.
- Defensive Strengths & Weaknesses: Georgia’s defense has been solid so far, but they allowed nearly 500 total yards in a tight win at Tennessee. Alabama’s defense has allowed fewer points but has not yet faced as balanced an offense as Georgia’s. The Tide did struggle to get stops against Florida State in their lone loss of the season.
- Rest Before Rivalries: Alabama and Georgia both had an idle week before this contest. We should see both teams fresh and prepared for this game and that should mean the highest possible level of competition between them. For fans like us, that is a great thing.

Final Thoughts
This game looks like a perfect opportunity for Georgia to overcome their recent struggles against Alabama. The Bulldogs are better offensively than Alabama for the first time in a long time. That should help them to win and cover the spread as a home favorite here, as UGA should cast some early-season doubt on Alabama’s candidacy as a College Football Playoff team.
