Alabama will be visiting Georgia in a battle between giants as two of the biggest teams in the SEC duke it out at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs are still undefeated heading into the contest, and they will be holding home field.
However, Alabama has plenty to prove even after a 2-1 start, and a victory over Georgia could silence questions if they are contenders or not this season.

For the Alabama Crimson Tide, Ty Simpson has a lot of weapons at his disposal, and the quarterback himself has been impressive.

Running back Nate Frazier would be the likeliest target as he leads the team in rushing yards with 189 on 39 carries and two touchdowns. For the passing game, Zachariah Branch has also been impressive with 181 passing yards on 11 receptions for two touchdowns.
