Georgia opened the game wide open on offense and tore Bama apart. Next two drives were very conservative and now they trail.

Georgia had a chance to go up big early and didn’t. Two terrible drives. Now the Bama offense has settled in. Terrible

Georgia scored first & the offense & defense just went conservative

Need to nut up on defense here. Another Bama long drive and Georgia is in trouble. This offense isn't built to play from 2 scores down.
They just aren't.

Georgia defense ?
Georgia offense since first drive ?— Eli ⛳️ (@pizzaplanet1995) December 2, 2023
Boy, Georgia looks all out of sorts against Alabama this afternoon. Their DL is getting dominated, and the offense is struggling to move the ball consistently.
