Looking forward to a good game tonight

I'll tune in. Root for the Bulldogs I guess. Bama has had too much success for the good of football, but not for Bama fans.  :o

Bama is beat up, playing walk on reserves last game, and the underdog.  So I'm for BAMA!   Roll Tide!

I picked Georgia out of alumnic loyalty, but Alabama is better overall and would win the majority of the time if they played 100 times.   Alabama is better offensively and they have a better defensive backfield so they should win.  But, I hope they screw it up.  The best team does not always win  :).  

Alabama is never the underdog.  They have the very best players in the Country, scores of them, and superlative coaching.  Don't need to hear no Alabama poor mouthing.

Normally, I don't mind putting a bet on something, but I wouldn't bet on one team over the other tonight.

I earned greater respect for Nick Saban at their last game, when he told his boys to watch their manners that game because chances were they'd play this same team again.

I wont get the game up here in the mountains since I just have an open air antenna.

I will say----> Roll Tide.

Like so many sports games, I will keep track of the score and may tune in to watch the final 1-2 minutes if the score is close.

9-6 at the half on five field goals, not very inspiring.

Sorry SG but I think watching a couple of great defense teams is just as exciting as watching lots of scores being made.

Good game.  Ga never let up, our young offensive players couldn't hang, and it's in the books.  DanG!

Very impressed with Ga quarterback.  Congratulations to them.  

Tomorrow's a good time to start working for next year.  

Roll Tide!

FWIW - I was the first one on this survey to predict Ga.! Congrats Danny. Sorry 'bout that Robert.

Good game. 

The scary things is that this is really a rebuilding year for Alabama.

I remember 3 things from this game.  A forward pass that was a fumble, a fumble that was a forward pass. And a player catching a ball for a fumble recovery that through no fault of his own had his foot a 1/4" inside the field of play giving Al the ball.  Fun game though.

At the half with a score of 9 to 6, I went to bed.  Once I looked at the score this morning, I had to watch the ESPN early morning edited second half.  Georgia was able to overcome some of their own errors and they capitalized on Alabama's errors. Some interference calls on Alabama sure didn't help their efforts. Georgia had the stamina to push Alabama long enough that the Bulldogs came out on top.  The score didn't show how well matched the two teams were.  On the coaching side I believe the student taught his mentor that he has graduated to the big time.

The players from both teams took a beating.  In the beginning, Al dominated, IMO. Never seen such powerful goal defense on both sides. Rooting for GA and glad they won.  It could have went either way. Really admire Nick Sabin and Kirby Smart for what they do.  Go SEC

Fell asleep with the score 'Dogs 13 'Bama 9.
Always seems to happen to me that I miss the exciting parts.
Commentators seemed to think Georgia def line was gassed at one point.
Being from the glaciated north I dont have many teams to root for in this contest, so I pick the easternmost and northernmost team to root for.

I too found out the score this morning. 9-6, bottom of the eighth, and the lights went out! Well, mine did. Best takeaway for me is the Defensive Coordinator for Georgia is now our head coach!  Go Ducks!

It was somewhat of a logical football outcome as defense wins football games and GA had that factor-they've got a great defense and enough offense. I watched the first half only as past my BT & not my teams. In a minor way I was rooting for the under"dog", :Dmeaning the dogs.

YellowHammer

The biggest issue I saw was that Saban had not put enough season minutes into the second and third wide string receivers and defensive pass coverage during the season, because they were in the game, and were dropping passes, and we just couldn't finish the last quarter.  There were freshman playing against a veteran Ga team.  So when Bama lost the second of their 1,000 yard wide receivers when he dislocated his knee, the game changed dramatically.  Just like Kirby Smart, Ga, head coach said, the game fundamentally changed at that point, and he's good enough to recognize and take advantage of it.  After all, he did work for Saban for a number of years.  One of Bama's wide receivers had only played in 2 games during the season, and the time to get minutes in wasn't this game.  That was evident when passes were being over or under thrown, our QB didn't instinctually have their timing down pat, and the Ga defensive rush was outstanding.  Once we were out of our star receivers, Kirby was able to reinforce the D line, going to single coverage and blitz after blitz, and it was crushing at that point.  

Main thing is both teams played 100% and Ga won, and Bama will have a chip the size of a pickup truck on their shoulder next season.  Saban is already making phone calls, recruiting to fill the voids, and all we can do is say good game and look forward to next season.

It was a good game and ROLL TIDE!

  My thoughts going into this game was that Ga had consistently been a tough team all season and Ala had been up and down and occasionally slacked off (Example Texas A&M). Even in the Iron Bowl they did not look great IMHO and I still think the fact our quarterback got hurt there allowed them to finally prevail after 4 tries in overtime. I think Ga's consistency paid off and they just wore Ala down.

  I don't agree with the fumble ruling from what I saw but do think it was funny the way the Ala player sort of accidentally recovered it. If he'd really thought it was a fumble he'd have run for the goal instead of stepping on out of bounds. I did enjoy the game.

That "fumble" was a pivotable call and just served to PO Georgia.

Regarding freshman playing, most of the SEC relies on them to start in football & basketball, other sports, not something unique at all nor an excuse for a teams performance level. 
I used to work with a guy in KY vo-tech school who sat on the bench at Auburn-he was 3rd or 4th string his entire 4yrs there. It seemed crazy to me but he said it was his choice to be a part of that team not choosing to play more elsewhere. Bennett was similar and a QB on practice squad who stayed the course and blossomed into the guy who won it all. Neat story he is!
