#8 Alabama at #3 Georgia
Saturday, 7:45 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Georgia - 6 , Total 45

A Top-10 showdown between SEC teams is set for Saturday night on ESPN as #3 Georgia hosts #8 Alabama. Georgia started the season at number one, is still unbeaten, but has dropped to #3 in the polls. The Bulldogs continue to play well including a very impressive 27-10 road win at Arizona State last week. Heisman Trophy candidate Knowshon Moreno ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns. “I think we made a good statement,” said freshman receiver A.J. Green, “We’re from the SEC, the South boys. Everybody thinks our conference is so hard, so we just came out here and proved a point.” This week is an even bigger test for Georgia as a talented Georgia squad visits.

“We are playing a great team – a top 10 team and one that is coached by one of the finest coaches in America,” Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. “They have been tested, they just have whipped everybody so bad it didn’t seem like they were.”

The Tide have a good running back of their own in Glen Coffee who is averaging over 8 yards per carry this season. “We have one of the best offensive lines in the country,” said Coffee.

#2 Georgia at #25 South Carolina
Saturday, 3:30 pm Eastern – CBSSBG Global Opening Line: Georgia  -  7  ,  Total  44

 

 

Georgia is no longer the #1 ranked team in the nation, despite winning their first two games by a combined score of 101-38.  USC jumped over Georgia in the polls but the Bulldogs could easily surpass them in upcoming weeks considering they play in the tougher SEC.  Georgia opens up SEC play on Saturday at South Carolina.  “This is a different brand of athletes from what we played in the first two games,” Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. “I’m not trying to disrespect who we played, but if you look at the film there is a huge difference in the size, strength and speed of this defense compared to the first two games.”  Quarterback Matthew Stafford did not play well last year in the loss to South Carolina and will look to redeem himself on Saturday.  The Gamecocks have allowed an average of only 69.5 passing yards per game this season, best in the nation. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Georgia on the Road.

 

South Carolina laid an egg last week, losing to Vanderbilt as quarterback Chris Smelley threw two interceptions. “We were ready to play, we just got our tails kicked,” head coach Steve Spurrier said. “We don’t have excuses, they just beat us.”
