In the trenches

Blayne Gilmer took a look at how Georgia’s offensive line and Alabama’s defensive line match up against each other. Obviously, the Bulldogs will have to account for edge rusher Will Anderson, who has 149 tackles and 24.5 sacks throughout his illustrious career with the Crimson Tide.

Rumors vs. Facts

Hoops: Heartbreak in Stegeman

Georgia suffered a heartbreaking 81-79 defeat to Texas A&M Tuesday night at Stegeman Coliseum. With 1.2 seconds remaining in the game, Texas A&M’s Marcus Williams hit a 3-pointer, which proved to be the game-winner.

“You’re playing for the drive because it’s a one-point game. We could have done a little better job on the screen to keep them from getting it to Williams like they got it to him,” head coach Tom Crean said. “Aaron (Cook) ends up picking him up for the drive, he’s in position, but (Williams) pulls up and hits a three. Conventional wisdom, you think you’re playing it right and he’s going to the basket. You want him to make a tough shot and he happened to hit a three.”

Brent Rollins and Dayne Young broke down the various pre-snap reads from both Stetson Bennett and the Georgia defense.
