Sec game previews

And, Georgia, obviously the team that came up on the short end of the stick, when they met the SCC championship game, they're going to have to really tweak some stuff, figure out what they need to do differently. What can they change? Howard went on to mention what will be one of the "biggest differences" in tonight's game. Because you really can't replace Metchie. How do we know? How good was your bowl?

Ranking every bowl game. After a tight first half that saw five field goals from the two teams, the game opened up after intermission. With the Tide leading , Georgia got a third-quarter touchdown from running back Zamir White to take its first lead at Alabama, the defending champion, got a fourth-quarter field goal from Will Reichard and a 3-yard touchdown catch from tight end Cameron Latu to lead But Alabama didn't score again.

Bennett completed 29 of 48 throws for yards but tossed two costly picks, including one that was returned for a score. For the season, Bennett threw for 2, yards and 27 touchdowns to just seven picks and led the SEC in yards per attempt How Bennett performs is likely to determine whether or not Georgia comes out on top.

Coordinator Todd Monken could use more quick passes or roll outs to get Bennett on the move, but the senior quarterback is also going to need help from the trenches. The Crimson Tide are coming off a dominant performance in the Cotton Bowl, limiting Cincinnati to 74 rushing yards and generating six sacks.

Linebacker Will Anderson Jr. Cornerback Josh Jobe is out for the year due to injury, and Jalyn Armour-Davis was limited due to an ailment in the win over Cincinnati. George Pickens was primed to rank as one of the top receivers in the SEC this year, but an ACL injury in spring practice sidelined him until late November. With the strength of both teams in the trenches, rushing yards will be hard to find on Monday night.
