We are one day away from the 2021 SEC Championship Game in which the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs (12-0) will take on the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) from Atlanta.
This is the game of the year in college football to this point and should be another classic between the two programs.
We caught up with Stacey Blackwood from Roll Tide Wire to get his thoughts on the upcoming game between the Dawgs and the Tide.
UGA Wire: What is one major area of concern for Alabama going into this game against Georgia?

Roll Tide Wire: How well will the offensive line hold up against Georgia’s vaunted front seven? It has been a struggle for most of the season and if they can’t protect Bryce Young it will be a long day for the Tide.

Roll Tide Wire: Alabama is getting to play the role of the underdog which never happens. Nick Saban and the Tide are playing with house money in this game. We all remember what happened in 2015 when the Tide rolled into Athens as an underdog. I am not saying they will duplicate that, I am simply saying for the first time in a while Alabama can enter a contest with the pressure of expectations.
UGA Wire: Is it possible to contain Will Anderson? Has it been done yet and how so?

Roll Tide Wire: Honestly, nobody has really slowed him down all season long. He is relentless in his effort and just plays a different level than most college players. If anyone can contain him though, it’s the Bulldogs.
UGA Wire: What did Auburn do on defense that made Bryce Young so uncomfortable last week?

Roll Tide Wire: It was constant pressure from Auburn last week. They consistently brought 6-7 guys and Alabama simply couldn’t handle it.
UGA Wire: If Alabama loses, do the Tide still make it in the CFP?

Roll Tide Wire: Probably not, but there is a chance depending on what happens around the country to teams like Cincinnati and Oklahoma State.
UGA Wire: What’s your prediction for how this one plays out?

Roll Tide Wire: I think this could go down as one of the greatest SEC Championships of all time. I believe Alabama uses the underdog, nobody thinks we can win mentality, and maybe plays a little above their head. In championship games, more times than not, the team with the elite QB wins the game. Not to take anything away from Stetson Bennett because he is a great player with a great story, but Bryce Young is the elite QB in this matchup. Alabama wins on a last-second Will Reichard field goal, 24-23.
