The Alabama Crimson Tide will face the Georgia Bulldogs at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday evening.
Alabama enters the matchup ranked as the No. 6 team in the country, while Georgia is ranked at No. 2. Each program is widely regarded as one of the top teams in the nation entering Week 6, and the Tide will need to play at an extremely high level in all aspects in order to secure a win against an extremely talented Bulldogs’ team.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart recently took a moment to comment on Saturday’s highly anticipated matchup, as Smart believes each team’s level of physicality will ultimately decide a winner.
“It’s a big one for us too.” Smart said. “You’re finding out your team all year, just like it was in the NFL. You play these games that are really tough and physical, you never know which way it’s going to go. So much is put into this game, and then there’s going to be another one next week. So we’re trying to keep our guys level headed, yeah it’s important. Yeah it’s a hell of an opportunity on a national stage, a brand game for both teams’ brand. We think we are a physical team, they’re a physical team, let’s go find out and maybe see who’s most physical or the most ready right now. Because both of us got to get better if we wanna go where we wanna go, and the only way you get better is to play good people. So I really am excited about the matchup, I do think they are a much improved team and an extremely physical team.”
DeBoer and the Tide currently hold a 2-1 record over Georgia through their last three meetings. Saturday’s matchup will more than likely evolve into an extremely physical dog fight between two elite teams, and Smart appears to be confident heading into Week 6 following his comments.
