Overview

  • Coach Kalen DeBoer and coordinator Kane Wommack said Miller (collarbone) and captain Tim Keenan III (ankle tightrope surgery) are set to play in Athens.
  • Georgia’s rushing attack has topped 200 yards per game, which Wommack framed as a physical test in run fits and tackling.
  • Alabama’s ground game ranks 103rd nationally at 123.7 yards per game, making Miller’s ball-carrying and pass protection a targeted boost.
  • Quarterback Ty Simpson has keyed recent progress, with Alabama averaging 518.5 total yards in two wins as he completed 41 of 46 passes for 608 yards and seven touchdowns.
  • No. 17 Alabama (2-1) visits No. 5 Georgia on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC, with the Bulldogs riding a 33-game home winning streak.
