2002 was the last time Georgia rolled into Tuscaloosa. In 2002, Georgia was an underdog; no one thought they would beat a physical Bama team, but our beloved Dawgs pulled one out with a last second winning field goal on their way to their first SEC title in 20 years. This year, Bama is on a roll, and the Dogs are still licking their wounds from that chicken fight a couple of weeks ago (i.e. no SEC Championship for Georgia is in the works for 2007).
The Dogs are once again underdogs, but I think Georgia will surprise the Tide much like they did five years ago. The reasons are simple. Alabama is coming off an emotional win, and I think Georgia’s inconsistent offense will find some consistency on the ground and in the air. If Georgia can manage to control the clock with their ground game, they will win a hard fought contest 24-20. If not, it is going to be pretty unbearable around here listening to the Tide Rolling.
