Happy Championship Monday, everyone. Tonight the National Championship Game will be played after Nick Saban has had the opportunity to tell his team that they are underdogs to a team that they beat by 17 a little over a month ago. Your previews:
Alabama’s back was against the wall when these teams met on Dec. 4 in the SEC Championship Game, and it showed. The Crimson Tide turned in a second quarter for the ages and raced to a 41-24 victory that de-legitimized Georgia’s accomplishments during a dominant regular season. The nature of that loss — with the Crimson Tide dissecting UGA’s celebrated defense — will motivate the Bulldogs, who will use what they learned to play much better defensively in the rematch.
