The Crimson Tide are 3-1 and ranked No. 13 after an early-season loss to No. 3 Ole Miss. I’m disappointed for us as a team, players and coaches, but I know our fans are sick about it and I don’t blame them. “We needed them to be extraordinary”.
In a game that is essentially a must-win matchup for the Crimson Tide, the quarterback matchup could go a long way toward determining which team comes out on top today in the SEC showdown. INJURY REPORT: Alabama – DB Jabriel Washington (Probable, knee), DL Jonathan Allen (Questionable, shoulder), K Gunnar Raborn (Out indefinitely, suspension), WR Robert Foster (Out for season, shoulder).
At one point, late in the first quarter, Lambert was Georgia’s leading rusher, with 13 yards. Of course, Alabama was up by five touchdowns beforehand, but it still bothered Saban afterward.
No matter the situation, Georgia’s sophomore running back can’t be slowed down. “It’s what got us going but we still have to focus on what we had to accomplish”. Alabama’s quarterbacks rank 10th in the SEC with a collective passer rating of 124.06, so the 240-pound Henry certainly seems like the better option at the moment.
National Weather Center meteorologist Ryan Willis told Michael Casagrande of AL.com that the heaviest stuff will be coming down right when the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs kick off at 3:30 p.m. EDT, with two to three inches possible. Minkah Fitzpatrick blocked a punt and scooped it up for a TD to make the score 17-3 in the first half. The two also had a 50-yard pass play as the freshman wide receiver finished with five catches for 120 yards.
Any lingering hope that Georgia still had at halftime quickly vanished on the Bulldogs’ first subsequent play when safety Eddie Jackson picked off replacement Brice Ramsey at midfield and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown.
“Some of it has to do with the fact they get all built up a little bit with emotion”, Pruitt said. “They’re running run-pass options, and they do a really good job in their screen game”. Quarterback Greyson Lambert, who was pulled during the game, actually got off to a good start, completing 5 of his first 7 passes.
“At least on a few drives we were up to 4th-and-1 or 4th-and-short”, head coach Mark Richt said.
Georgia could set itself up for an undefeated run to the Southeastern Conference championship game by beating the Crimson Tide. Alabama looks as if it is going to be part of that picture for a while. “You have to keep your cool and just go out and be ready to warm up and not worry about all that jibber jabber”. I know you want a field goal update, too. “You have to stay calm and be cool”.
Jake Coker silenced all of his detractors with one throw during Alabama’s 38-10 win over Georgia on Saturday afternoon.
“Sometimes you make things harder than they are”, Coker said.
And that team might have two losses come Sunday morning. Let’s take a look at our Georgia Alabama pick against the spread for this week 5 game. It signaled the start of Saban’s dominating run in Tuscaloosa, which has resulted in four conference titles and three national championships.

Quotes were obtained firsthand unless otherwise noted. A once-beaten SEC champ would figure to be a lock for the College Football Playoff – unless that champ hails from the puny East and shows a home thrashing like this on its ledger.
