Playing Alabama is hard enough. It doesn't matter who is standing on the other sideline in the crimson and white, when Georgia plays Alabama they better be ready for fight.

Thankfully the Georgia football team looks up to the task as they are undefeated and coming off an impressive road victory against Tennessee two weeks ago.

But there is some bad news for Georgia that emerged Wednesday night when the first injury report for this game was published. That bad news came in the form of the Crimson Tide's star running being cleared to make his season debut.

Jam Miller is back and ready to take on Georgia's defense

Alabama running back Jam Miller is the No. 1 player on the Crimson Tide's depth chart out of the backfield. He is coming off a season in 2024 where he rushed for 668 yards and a whopping seven touchdowns. So his impact will be felt anytime he takes the field.

Miller however suffered an injury during Alabama's fall camp that has kept him sidelined up to this point. That however will not be the case on Saturday as Miller was not listed on the initial injury report published Wednesday night.

Georgia did an excellent job keeping Miller in check last season as he only recorded eight yards on five carries. He did however burn Georgia's defense through the air as he hauled in one catch for 16 yards which he turned into a touchdown.

Georgia would consider it a big win if they held Miller to those stats again this year, but he is itching to make an impact this weekend as it is his first game of the season. This will be a huge challenge for Georgia's defense, but the Bulldogs will be up for the task on Saturday night.
