I think Geogia and Bama have one other thing in common.  They haven't had a true test yet.  A little stat nugget.


Yes, Georgia is #3 in Rushing Defense.  That said, they gave up 4.5 yards per carry to the two Georgia Southern backs.  Georgia held Central Michigan RBs to 3.8 ypc, but Ohio (not state) held CM back to a 2.6 ypc.  These weaker teams (much like Western C) only had a limited number of running plays, mainly because they were behind.  If Alabama keeps the game close at hand, they should have an avantage at the running game.
