Alabama football players are built to thrive in pressure situations. Still, the impact of facing pressure can be both a boost and a burden. Since the 2009 season, Crimson Tide struggles have come more frequently when the Tide faced little pressure going into a game.
On Saturday in the SEC Championship game, the Georgia Bulldogs will face more pressure than the Crimson Tide. Given last season’s national championship, overtime loss to Alabama football, Georgia seeks more than a Playoff final four slot. The Bulldogs seek vindication and redemption.
Losing to the Crimson Tide in a second straight big game will write a Bulldogs story.
