The last time the two teams met, the result was a thrilling, down-to-the-wire heavyweight bout. What will happen in Athens this year? Expect history to repeat itself...to a degree.
One need look no further into history than the 2012 SEC Championship Game to recall the last time the two Southern football blue-bloods met on the gridiron field of battle.

The result was a brutally physical contest that ended in a shocking, dramatic outcome.
