Georgia football will get another crack at Alabama this weekend in the SEC Championship game. Everyone knows that the Tide were able to beat Georgia in Athens earlier this season, but the Bulldogs have arguably looked like the better team since that loss.
This matchup however will likely come down to Georgia's offensive line and how they do against Alabama's defensive front. Georgia fans saw first hand how much their offense can struggle against Georgia Tech when their offensive line isn't at their best, and with center Drew Bobo's injury there is a chance they could struggle against Alabama as well.
Alabama defensive tackle Tim Keenan has taken notice of these struggles and he proclaimed to the world that Alabama's defensive line against Georgia's offensive line is the "mismatch of the game."
Alabama DT Tim Keenan asked about UGA’s Offensive Line

“Seeing them in SEC play, it gets kind of nasty in there. It should be a great battle, one for the centuries.”
He threw this in as he finished his answer… “I feel like that’s the mismatch of the game.”
Alabama DT Tim Keenan said the one thing Georgia's offensive line needed to hear
Of all the Crimson Tide players who should be saying this Kennan is the last person on that list. He is a solid player, but only having nine tackles on the season shouldn't give anyone a reason to proclaim something as outlandish as this. That is especially the case when he didn't even record one stat against Georgia earlier this season.
Alabama's defensive front however did have a decent game against Georgia earlier this season. Their defense combined for six tackles for loss which included two sacks. That however is nowhere near a performance worthy of claiming a "mismatch" exists, but Georgia should be thankful that Keenan said this.
This statement will undoubtedly be shared in Georgia's locker room, especially their offensive line. This should give them all the motivation to dominate the trenches against an Alabama team that believes they have the upper hand in this matchup. That will be a difficult thing to do if Bobo is unable to play, but Keenan's message will help Georgia's unit out either way.
This likely won't be the last controversial message shared between these two teams before the game, but Saturday at 4:00 pm EST the talking will end and Georgia will have their chance to dominate the trenches like they know they can.
