Alabama's offense has looked impressive, their opponents' defensive rankings (91st or worse in yards per play allowed) raise questions about the true strength of their attack.

Georgia's defense, ranked 4th in yards per game allowed, will present a formidable challenge to Alabama's offense. The Bulldogs have been particularly stout against the run, allowing only 3.07 yards per carry (27th in the country). This could force Alabama to rely more heavily on their passing game.

Jalen Milroe has shown efficiency with a 67% completion rate, but 27 of his 35 passes in his last game against Wisconsin came from within 0 to 9 yards. While Milroe excelled with his deep throw accuracy last season, he has only five touchdowns of 20-plus yards, and three were against a hampered Wisconsin team in Week 3.


Georgia has played a stronger schedule thus far this season which has prepared the Bulldogs for high-pressure situations and top-tier competition.
