The Players to watch for Alabama vs Georgia
It’s the biggest game of the season, and it’s probably the biggest game of most regular seasons since the LSU vs Alabama 9-6 debacle in 2011. So who are the players to watch? GEORGIA Stetson Bennett (QB): Bennett has been the perfect game manager since coming on in the second half of the Arkansas game. To say the least, he’s been an amazing success, throwing for 958 yards and 5 TDS. He’s not been spectacular, but he’s one of the most accurate passers in the country, with a QB rating of 93.5. He hasn’t thrown an interception either. He’ll face an Alabama secondary that was ripped to piece by Ole Miss last week, and is definitely trying to find itself.

It was a weird week in the SEC. The Big 12 actually had some pretty good, low-scoring games, while the SEC was a scorefest of legendary proportions. Alabama and Ole Miss was 63-48, Missouri beat LSU 45-41, Texas A&M beat Florida 41-38, Auburn beat Arkansas 30-28, Georgia humiliated Tennessee 44-21, South Carolina smashed Vanderbilt 41-7 and the weirdest game was at Lexington, where Kentucky beat Mississippi State 24-2. Let’s not get this wrong – it was a humbling day for losers and winners. Here are our ranks for the SEC this week. 1. Georgia (3-0). It wasn’t pretty in the first half, but Georgia’s half-time adjustments were exceptional, and there was nothing that Tennessee could do about it. Georgia put

This the story of Courtney and Jenna-Sue, Who saw Auburn win and didn’t know what to do Jumping around look like a hassle So they leapt over a hedge and didn’t look like an a**hole. But like any good photography, there’s an awesome story. And it’s not just Nick Saban and getting tricked by Gus Malzahn, either… COURTNEY Courtney walked into Phi Mu as a girl from the A-T-L (or at least that’s what she told everybody), but really, she’s actually from Marietta. She’s gone to Auburn because it’s more a fun time that it would be at Georgia. She’s might not look like it, but she’s the party animal-brain bucket that everyone craves, and so she’s actually pretty bright.
Read moreSEC West Preview: Is it Alabama versus the world?
Every year it seems, people will want to know whether anyone will unseat the immovable objects. In the college football, those unmovable objects are routinely Clemson and Alabama. Last year it was the same, until LSU actually proved what can happen when you get a good quarterback, some future NFL first round wide receivers, and an excellent offensive coordinator, which in one season undid the ole cliche always attributed to the Tigers which was “They’ve got the talent, but they are perennially disappointing”. This year, the objects will be a bit different. We don’t know how many practices each team has managed. We don’t know what what how many have contracted COVID-19 and when, because they aren’t about to
Read moreAlabama, LSU name new starting QBs
Alabama and LSU have named their starting quarterbacks. After a battle with newcomer Bryce Young, the Crimson Tide named Mac Jones as the person who will first take the ball from center. Jones had a productive year in 2019, throwing for 1,503 yards, 14 TDs and 3 INTs. In the bowl games against Michigan, he threw for 327 yards and 3 TDs. Down in the Bayou, LSU have given Miles Brennan the starting job. Redshirt junior Brennan – Joe Burrow’s understudy last season – threw for 353 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT last year. Brennan’s job was pretty much his own after competition Peter Parrish was booted from Baton Rouge.
Read moreReport: Five Alabama players test positive for COVID-19
Five Alabama players have tested positive for COVID-19. BamaInsider didn’t say who the players were, and the University of Alabama did not disclose their names, confirming “player privacy regulations” to Simone Eli of CBS-42. “I’m told the players were tested Tuesday, practiced together Wednesday, and received the positive results today (Thurs). Source tells me that no players showed symptoms/signs,” she tweeted. “Further, I’m told that nearly 50 players were together yesterday on the band field. (As we saw in many videos) Those players “should” be in quarantine moving forward, source says. She added: “Source did not specify names, nor did I ask. Did say it was one lineman, a couple skill position players and one quarterback.” Meanwhile in Tuscaloosa –

Tualia Tagovailoa, the brother of Tua Tagovailoa, is to transfer from Alabama, has entered the transfer portal, according to many media reports. Tagovailoa’s departure comes hot on the heels of not only the drafting of his brother to the Miami Dolphins but also the arrival of Bryce Young, a five-star freshman who is said to be fighting out Mac Jones for the No.1 spot. Also Tualia came in as a four-star himself from Alabaster, Alabama (he was moved to Alabama to be closer to his brother in Tuscaloosa), and was named as a first-team, All-State 7-A player, and fifth-best pro-style quarterback in the country. The No.1 player was Spencer Rattler, who is considered to be the de-facto starting quarterback at
Read moreSaban saying goodbye to Tua was brilliant theatre
When Nick Saban marched onto the podium with Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa yesterday, all I could think was: “He’s going to stay”. After all, most great players in Alabama history made their decisions and Nick Saban said very little about them. Maybe it was because he was too busy texting other recruits, or looking at game film on the next year’s starting opponents, or merely making sure Mrs Saban got her antiques delivery on time, but he didn’t seem to do it. This year, he was out there. “Tua has probably has had as much of an impact on our program here as any player that we’ve ever had,” Saban said. “And I’m not just talking about as a football
