Quick thought on the Alabama @ Georgia contest

[TheOracle6]

Alabama is an underdog for the first time in the last 70+ games. In my opinion, Alabama should be favored again, and it is likely that the line will push that way as the week goes on.

Greyson Lambert was beat out at UVA by Matt Johns, an average college QB with a turnover problem. The media would have you believe Lambert was the second coming of Matthew Stafford after his performance in the non conference slate.

Lambert and Georgia run a pro style system with some hybrid elements, but their primary objective is to establish the run to open up the passing game.

Alabama's defense is built to stop this kind offense. While the up - tempo spread offense has given Saban serious problems, pro style offenses have seldom got the best of him.

Saban and Smart are going to scheme to stop Nick Chubb, which will force Lambert to beat them with his arm. I just don't think Lambert is ready for this type of game vs this kind of defense.

Alabama has the better coaching staff, and you can bet your bottom dollar that Saban and Kiffin have begun to figure out their offensive identity.

Let's not forget the loss to Ole Miss saw 5 Bama turnovers to 0 for Ole miss, and we can't forget that fluke TD that also went in Mississippi's favor. All of this went against Alabama, yet at the end of the game, Bama still had a chance to win.

Alabama will win this game outright. 30-21.

So.....not to invade your thread with bad vibes, but I have to disagree on many levels. Saban and Kiffin have not figured anything out on Offense to find an identity. They don't have one nor do they have leadership. Our punter looks light years different and our kickers and special teams are horrible.

Comparing Ole Miss and Georiga is bad news because A) Alabama should have beaten Ole Miss because they are better than them and B) Alabama should lose on Saturday because Georgia is better and will use their speed on both sides of the ball to overcome our size. On Sunday when Alabama looks back for 24 hours, they should look back to the Ole Miss game one more time, because that game is the one that will cost them, not this one.
