UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett put the ball on the money for James Cook, who had the speed to score the touchdown. Cook made a nice catch as well.

Cook had fought through injuries this season, so it is great to see him get a big play. His scoring play gave the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead over Alabama.

No. 3 Georgia is set to take on the No. 2 Crimson Tide tonight in Tuscaloosa. Here is everything you need to know before the game!

We’ve made it! The biggest game of the year, No. 3 Georgia at No. 2 Alabama.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is set to make his first road start in one of the toughest places to play in the country, Tuscaloosa.

Covid-19 stadium capacity guidelines will keep the noise from getting as loud as usual, but facing a team as talented as Alabama on the road is always a daunting task.

Good thing the Bulldogs have the best defense in the country to back up the young signal-caller.

Captains: LT Jamaree Salyer, LB Monty Rice, LB Azeez Ojulari

Matchup predictor: Georgia has a 39.6% chance to win, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.

Series history: Currently, Alabama leads the all-time series 40-25-4, with the Bulldogs last win coming in 2007.

Prediction: This game is a matchup between one of the most prolific offenses in the nation versus the best defense. Bama has weapons sure, but what can Mac Jones do when he has three Bulldog rushers in his face every dropback?

I’m taking the Bulldogs 32-28.

Georgia senior LB Monte Rice a game-time decision for Alabama game

Georgia’s leading tackler Monte Rice is game-time decision for Alabama game. Details her

According to Dawg Nation, Senior linebacker Monte Rice is listed as a game-time decision for Georgia’s matchup with Alabama Saturday night.

Rice is the Bulldogs’ leading tackler and is coming off one of the best performances of his career last week versus Tennessee.

The Huntsville, Alabama native racked up eight tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a touchdown against the Volunteers in Georgia’s 44-21 win. 

If Rice isn’t able to go, look for junior linebackers Quay Walker and Channing Tyndall to see more of the field.

Both guys are plenty capable of picking up the slack and Tyndall recorded two sacks last week against Tennessee in a small amount of snaps, so the Bulldogs will be fine in the middle whether Rice can go or not.

Make sure you’re caught up for the game of the year, No. 3 Georgia at No. 2 Alabama in a battle for king of the SEC. We breakdown everything you need to know for the game in this week’s episode of the UGA Football Live podcast, featuring special guest Keith Marshall.

SEC alters schedules, Georgia football to play Kentucky Oct 31.

See what Georgia’s new schedule looks like here.

Due to Florida’s Covid-19 outbreak, the SEC has altered Georgia’s remaining schedule, moving the Kentucky game.

The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 24, instead the Bulldogs will now face Kentucky on Oct. 31.

The news comes two days since the cancellation of Saturday’s game between Florida and LSU, after the Gators announced 18 scholarship players tested positive for the Covid-19 virus.

Georgia was set for an off-week the week of Oct. 31, a week before its matchup with Florida Nov. 7, but with the schedule shift, the Bulldogs’ week off is now set for next week Oct. 24.

The SEC’s move gives Florida the next two weeks off before their matchup with Georgia in Jacksonville.

If the League is going to shuffle schedules like this every time a team has an outbreak, I wonder how far it goes before games are added to the end of the season, completely jumbling the entire conference-only schedule.
