In just one day Georgia will take on Alabama and have a chance to show the college football just how good of a team they are this season. The Bulldogs did show they are a team to be reckoned with after beating Tennessee two weeks ago, but if they are going to compete for championships they need to win this game.
There are however some serious questions that need to be answered on Saturday even though Georgia is undefeated entering this game. And if UGA can find a way to answer these three questions they likely will emerge victorious against Alabama.
1. Can Georgia pressure Ty Simpson?
Georgia's defensive line has only recorded four sacks so far this season. That is not good enough and only earning one sack against Alabama would make it extremely difficult to beat the Crimson Tide.
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has been on fire since losing to Florida State in week one. In Alabama's second and third games Simpson only threw five incompletions. A big reason for that is the elite blocking up front by his offensive line, so Georgia needs to find a way to pressure Simpson and make him uncomfortable Saturday night.
2. What will Georgia do on the right side of their offensive line?
Georgia received some bad news on Thursday as starting right tackle Earnest Greene was ruled out for Saturday's game. The Bulldogs were missing Greene for about half of the Tennessee game and his replacement, Michael Uini, played very well, but the lack of depth on the right side of Georgia's line is a concern.
Uini will likely be called upon to fill in for Greene again and he could play either right tackle or guard. Starting guard Juan Gaston could slide out to tackle as well. Either way Georgia needs to find a combination that works if they are going to beat Alabama.
3. Can Georgia limit Alabama's big plays?
Potentially the biggest concern that arose from Georgia's win against Tennessee were the vast amount of big plays UGA's secondary gave up to the Volunteers through the air. Tennessee scored multiple touchdowns on big plays in the passing game, and that is the last thing UGA needs against Alabama.
Alabama is going to score points, there is no denying that, but Georgia needs to make them work for it. They need to force Alabama to have to march down the field and run double digit plays just to get to the red zone. If Georgia can do that it will increase Alabama's chances of making a big mistake, so UGA can't afford to let Alabama's receivers get loose on Saturday.
