Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Saturday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC from Sanford Stadium in Athens.
  • The Bulldogs are 3-0 and ranked No. 3, while the No. 16 Crimson Tide enter 2-1 after two decisive home wins.
  • Georgia’s home streak stands at 33 straight wins, contrasting with Alabama’s 2-5 record away from Tuscaloosa since last season under Kalen DeBoer.
  • Ty Simpson’s 24-of-29, 382-yard, four-touchdown outing vs. Wisconsin highlighted Alabama’s improvement, which Kirby Smart praised as very efficient.
  • ESPN’s SP+ model slightly projects Alabama to win (Bama 27.2, Georgia 26.4), as Georgia’s front seven led by CJ Allen, Raylen Wilson and DT Christen Miller poses a major test for Alabama’s rotating offensive line.
