It is Week 5 of college football and fans are in for a treat. This week’s thrilling matchup between Alabama Crimson Tide and rivals Georgia Bulldogs is one that CFB aficionados have circled on their calendar. This year will be the first time in 17 years that the Crimson Tide will face the Bulldogs without legendary coach Nick Saban.
Nick Saban had the edge over Kirby Smart in the past matchups between both teams. With the former’s departure, the latter finds himself as the senior coach on Saturday night. Their rivalry dates back 129 years and the Crimson Tide currently holds a significant edge having won 43 games whereas the Bulldogs have won 26 times.
What makes this matchup interesting is the fact that both teams head into it with an undefeated record. The Georgia Bulldogs pulled off a narrow win against Kentucky last week after quarterback Carson Beck struggled to get his offense going. He failed to throw for a touchdown and ended the game with 160 yards.
The Crimson Tide come into Saturday’s game after a dominant 42-10 win over Wisconsin. Jalen Milroe has been lights out three games into the season. He has thrown for 590 yards and 8 touchdowns without a single turnover.

Despite heading into Saturday’s matchup without Nick Saban at the helm, head coach Kalen DeBoer has shown that he is an offensive mastermind. Add a competent quarterback in Jalen Milroe to the equation, it results in a winning formula for the team. The final reason will be the home-field advantage that Alabama has. With the entire stadium cheering in their favor, the spirits of the team will be high throughout.
Why can the Georgia Bulldogs win?
Georgia is favored to win this game for a reason. It is Carson Beck. He has the experience and so far, has 680 yards and 7 touchdowns without any turnovers. The Bulldogs’ offense is proficient in the run game and the pass game. With Trevor Etienne, the running back averaging 6.5 yards per carry this season, they pose a dual threat to Alabama.
On the defensive front, the Bulldogs have prevented their opponents from getting into a rhythm. The team has given up just 6.0 points per game this season, the third in the country. The team has won 9 out of its last 10 games which further benefits their morale heading to Tuscaloosa.
