The Game To See: Alabama at Georgia








#8 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE - #3 GEORGIA BULLDOGS

7:45 pm ET, Saturday, Septembter 27, 2008
Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA


All eyes will be on Athens Saturday night as blacked out Sanford Stadium will host one of the best games of the entire season. Both unbeaten teams are on a roll entering this clash of traditional SEC powerhouses and will put their record to the test in what should be a physical and dramatic matchup. Georgia is led by the explosive Heisman hopeful Knowshon Moreno at tailback, their strong armed quarterback Matthew Stafford and a relentless linebacking corps. The Crimson Tide will counter with a big defensive front and an experienced, nasty offensive line featuring star left tackle Andre Smith. Alabama will look to establish their potent running attack with junior Glen Coffee and freshman Mark Ingram leading the way against a stout Georgia front seven. As with most SEC games, this game will test not only the talent, the heart and the strength of each opponent. In the end toughness will determine the winner of this game, may it be on a deciding goal line stand, down in the trenches or on a critical 4th quarter drive. But that's nothing new to Bulldogs coach Mark Richt, his counterpart Nick Saban or their players. It's their daily fate in the SEC and it will once again make up for one hell of a night down South!
