Challenges for Georgia
This is no-questions the biggest ball game to be played in the opening weekend. It has the most ramifications of any game to be played. But really, does is it that important to either team. Both of these teams could rebound from an opening loss and have a shot at winning the national title at the end of the season. Nick Saban and Alabama have been carefully scheduled non-cupcake openers for a while now. They know that’s the best time to play a team that could possibly beat you. Georgia and Kirby Smart are apparently joining that train of thought. Who is the better team here? I have no idea. It’s at a neutral site and probably about an even matchup. Clemson doesn’t have Trevor Lawrence who was a big problem for all the opposing teams he faced but watch out, Collegefootballnews.com says that Tiger quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has an “unworldly right arm.” But he’ll have to deal with a Georgia defense that is going to be as stout as ever.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the ABC Network.
