Young, No. 4 Alabama face stiff test from No. 1 Georgia’s D

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! If he can’t play, that leaves Trey Sanders as the Tide’s only healthy scholarship running back against a defense allowing a nation’s best 6.9 points and 229.7 total yards per game. “What really motivates us is to make sure we come with our ‘A’ game,” Alabama left tackle Evan Neal said. That’s what it’s all about.” Alabama didn’t come with its best for that Auburn game, even if the Tide ultimately turned a 10-0 fourth-quarter deficit into a 24-22 quadruple-overtime victory. Injuries are a part of the game.” Alabama has leaned heavily on Robinson at times, but Young’s biggest weapon has been Williams, along with fellow 1,000-yard receiver John Metchie III.
