I don't know. We learned last week that no lead is too large.

Alabama playing a freshman now at left tackle . Alabama driving , can cut it to one score .

 

[oyarde]

Anybodies ball game now . One score game , Georgia ball, 23 minutes to play .

I like this little freshman for Alabama. Saban will be kicking himself all the way home for not working more with Tagovailoa. The connection is he went to the same high school as Marcus Mariota.

Georgia 20 Alabama 10 , twenty minutes to play , Georgia ball.

Alabama not showing a lot of creativity. I think this is when you know the student is not always the student. Smart took over at GA last year and took what he knew and let his imagination run wild. It is so interesting to see how he put the pieces together.

Alabama looks very frustrated. Unsportsmanlike conduct tells the story.

 

[oyarde]

11 1/2 to go , overall pretty sloppy and unimpressive so far .

 

[euphemia]

The luster has gone away from Alabama for us. Lots of turmoil on the field and on the sidelines.

 

[georgiaboy]

Definitely still anybody’s game. 10:00 left in the 4th.

 

[euphemia]

Of course. Alabama found that out last year.

 

[oyarde]

Georgia Ball , 9 1/2 to play , Georgia leads 20 - 13. Georgia defense gave up runs of 16 and 35 on last Alabama drive enabling them to get back in it .

 

[georgiaboy]

Momentum favors the Tide right now. Getting good.

 

[euphemia]

It's all tied up.

 

[oyarde]

Tie game , 20 - 20 , Georgia will have about 3 1/2 minutes .

 

[euphemia]

OT. Shades of the Rose Bowl.

 

[oyarde]

Only thing I am convinced of is none of these two teams are number one .

 

[oyarde]

Alabama did not cover the spread .

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Wow. What an ending...

 

[oyarde]

Wow. What an ending...

I would vote Central Florida #1 , Wisconsin #2 . I doubt any SEC team could beat a third place Big Ten team .

I don't know. If UCF wants to try, I'm sure anyone in the SEC would put them on the schedule. I think several SEC schools have tried to flesh out their schedules a little more, but nobody wants to come down here to play. It looks like Notre Dame is the only team that wants to play outside the conference. The Ugly12 doesn't seem to travel much. KState came out here to play Vanderbilt and got spanked. A couple of other teams will still play transplants Arkansas and A&M. The PAC12 no longer travels much, although I think UCLA and Tennessee still play each other. A bit of trivia is that Peyton Manning started his UT career as 3rd string QB, but when starter Jerry Coquitt was injured against UCLA, both he and Todd Helton took snaps. A few weeks later Helton was hurt (more of a baseball guy, anyway), Manning was the starter.
