Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC at Sanford Stadium in Athens.
- Georgia carries a 33-game home winning streak and is a slight betting favorite, while ESPN’s SP+ projects a narrow Alabama win.
- Georgia’s availability report lists starter Earnest Greene III as doubtful with a back issue and rules out Ethan Barbour, Malachi Toliver and Thomas Blackshear; Alabama will be without Jah-Marien Latham and Jeremiah Beaman.
- Under Kalen DeBoer, Alabama is 2-5 away from home since last season, though the Tide rebounded from the Florida State loss with dominant wins over Louisiana‑Monroe and Wisconsin before a bye.
- Kirby Smart praised Alabama’s efficient Ryan Grubb offense with Ty Simpson, as the Tide’s unsettled offensive line rotation faces Georgia linebackers C.J. Allen and Raylen Wilson.
