The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs will take center stage on Saturday night when they face off at Sanford Stadium under the lights in Athens in the first meeting between the two there in a decade.
It’s going to be a massive test for Alabama headed on the road for the first time since the Florida State loss, but more specifically their quarterback. As Ty Simpson prepares to make his first SEC start coming off two dominant performances after a shaky showing against the Seminoles, he does so with the knowledge that his team absolutely needs him to have a big game.
What Simpson did the last two weeks before the bye has not gone unnoticed despite the weak competition though, and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart doled out some massive praise to Simpson for what he’s been able to do.
