Overview

  • Kalen DeBoer said RB Jam Miller will make his season debut after a collarbone injury, and DC Kane Wommack said DT Tim Keenan III will play following ankle tightrope surgery.
  • The game is Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Sanford Stadium in Athens, televised on ABC.
  • Without Miller, Alabama’s rushing offense ranked around No. 102 nationally at 123.7 yards per game, with coaches emphasizing his value in both production and pass protection.
  • Keenan’s return adds an anchor to an injury-thinned interior that has needed help against the run and in generating interior pass rush.
  • Alabama enters off two lopsided home wins with QB Ty Simpson completing 41 of his last 46 passes for 608 yards and seven touchdowns, but now faces Georgia’s top-5 team and 33-game home winning streak.
