Initial Impressions from the SEC Championship Game

It’s tough to find words to describe what we witnessed yesterday.

For about two minutes, it looked like Alabama was going to run Georgia out of the building. The defense stuffed two runs out of the gate and then sacked Jake Fromm to force a three and out, Jaylen Waddle made a dynamic return to set the Tide offense up inside the Georgia 30, and Damien Harris promptly bulled his way through the heart of the defense on a counter to set up 1st-and-goal from the 6.

Unfortunately, the next three plays would be something of a harbinger as Tua Tagovailoa, who has executed flawlessly all season, missed a throw on a RPO that he usually makes in his sleep before twice trying to do too much.
