IN GAME THREAD Alabama vs. Georgia

[IE]

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban tries to tie former Alabama coach Bear Bryant's record six major poll national championships. Saban has led the Tide to four national championships since 2009, and the last three national championship games.

Georgia, coached by former Saban assistant Kirby Smart, is looking for its first national championship since 1980.

The Bulldogs feature the most prolific running back combination in college football in senior Sony Michel and Nick Chubb. They combined for six touchdowns in the Bulldogs semifinal victory against Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl.

Alabama has the No. 1 rushing defense in the country and smothered Clemson in the Sugar Bowl semifinal to get here.

 

[IE]

These teams are almost identical on both sides of the ball. Bama gains 6.7 yards per play on offense. Georgia: 6.9. Alabama allows 3.9 ypp on defense. Georgia: 4.6. Both offensive lines struggle in pass protection and thrive when run-blocking.

 

[IE]

Underdogs have covered in the past four national championship games. Since 2009, only three favorites have covered the spread in the national title game.

Been here, done this:facepalm: Good news is my yearly obligatory UGA to win the NC bet is live and I will at least hedge some to secure profit. Bad news is, as a lifelong UGA, Brave, and Falcons fan, I have accepted that heartache is the only thing I will ever know. Won't be around tonight as I will be with a host of others that have lived the heartache. Good luck guys!


GO Dawgs!

There will be a column from a sportswriter about this very subject within 12 hours of the finish of this game.

It's good print..
