One of the greatest games of the season is about to take place—the SEC Championship Game. Let’s take a look at the game between No. 1 Georgia (12-0, 8-0 SEC) and No. 8 Alabama (11-1, 8-0 SEC) in detail. In addition to high-stakes football, this game will be remembered because it will be the first conference matchup between these two unbeaten teams since 2009.

Georgia’s Undefeated Streak

With an amazing 30-game winning streak, the Bulldogs are undergoing an incredible trip. It is the longest winning streak in SEC history. They are committed to keeping up their winning streak.

The Bulldogs narrowly defeated rival Georgia Tech by eight points in their most recent game, Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. Proving his mettle, running back Kendall Milton amassed 156 yards and two scores on the ground. Carson Beck, the quarterback, has also become a star. He leads the conference in passing yards per game (291.3) and completion percentage (72.4%).

Throughout the season, Georgia’s offensive line has shown exceptional performance. They are sixth in the country in terms of sacks allowed per game (0.83) and eleventh in terms of tackles for loss allowed per game (3.92). This is encouraging for their prospects of defeating Alabama.

Sedrick Van Prann, an offensive tackle for the Bulldogs, thinks that Alabama’s defense’s recent showing against Auburn was an exception rather than a pattern. This creates a fascinating background for the impending conflict.

Alabama’s Playoff Aspirations Now

Alabama is in a vulnerable situation. They need to beat Georgia to be in the College Football Playoff hunt. 

Alabama just avoided a scare from rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl during their last game. Thanks to quarterback Jalen Milroe’s heroics, the game ended 27–24. With a passing yards per attempt of 10.6, Milroe presently leads the country, which presents a serious threat against Georgia’s secondary.

Alabama’s defense has been exposed; Auburn, a team without a serious passing threat, scored 244 yards against them. Was this an isolated incident or a warning flag for the Crimson Tide? is the question that remains.
