Not much was working for Alabama leading into the SEC Championship last week. After a disappointing performance against Auburn along with a slew of injuries, the Crimson Tide wasn’t a popular pick to take down the undefeated Georgia in Atlanta.
The crux of the argument against Alabama was its inability to block for what seemed like every week leading up to its matchup with the Bulldogs. Georgia’s front seven was amongst the most disruptive in the country, but on Saturday Alabama’s line flipped a switch and weathered the storm as it went on to win 41-24.
