Alabama Looks to Maintain Balance
Alabama starting tight end Josh Ford is expected to play against No. 2 Georgia after suffering a broken arm and undergoing surgery over the past week. The injury occurred during last Saturday's win over Mississippi State, leaving Ford listed as a game-time decision for the matchup in Tuscaloosa. A transfer from Oklahoma State, Ford has recorded one catch this season, including a touchdown reception against South Carolina. His role as a blocker has supported a stronger ground attack, with the team averaging 186.4 rushing yards per game after posting 101.4 per contest last season.
Georgia Gains Rushing Depth
Running back Nate Frazier returns for Georgia after missing two games due to bruised ribs. Frazier leads the team with 211 rushing yards and five touchdowns. The return comes as Chauncey Bowens, who has six rushing scores, was ruled out earlier this week. In Frazier's absence, Dwight Phillips Jr. stepped up with 84 yards and a touchdown against Oklahoma, plus five receptions for 75 yards and a score along with 27 rushing yards versus Vanderbilt.
