Georgia’s winning formula resembles the old Alabama way

Associated Press  

Georgia’s defense throttles opposing running backs, boasting a deep and formidable front, playmaking linebackers and star defensive backs. The second-ranked Crimson Tide enters Saturday night’s Southeastern Conference game with a soaring passing game and a defense that is much more generous than in the “old” days, circa 2013. “I would agree they’re a little more like the old Alabama way, a little more grind it out,” said Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin, who helped transform the Tide into a more explosive, pass-happy offense starting in 2014. I think they’ve added some things, especially on third down, that have been very effective for them.” Smart has faced potent Alabama offenses in the January 2018 national championship game — an overtime Tide win — and the SEC title game later that year. But Georgia is winning with strong defense, a solid running game and a quarterback, Stetson Bennett, who may not have put up dazzling numbers but also hasn’t thrown an interception yet.
