Georgia is a very improved football team, especially on defense, but I don’t think they have the depth to play with Alabama. They need a couple of more years of top 5 recruiting to get there. Alabama would shut their running game down, and make the QB beat them. I don’t think he can.

Unpopular opinion alert:
Georgia's best shot to beat Alabama would be if Eason comes back and plays to his potential. He's got the requisite arm strength to hit throws in tight windows that you have to throw to beat Alabama. He also has the arm to stretch the field to keep a defense like Alabama honest. I loved Aaron Murray, and have always defended him on this board and thought he was a criminally underrated QB, but his underthrow of Conley on that deep ball late in the second quarter was a big turning point in the 2012 SECCG. Murray didn't quite have the arm to get it there. A stronger arm gets Conley for a TD. Instead, Clinton-Dix was just barely able to pick it off. It's stuff like that that makes the difference against Alabama.
I told someone yesterday that Fromm could get us to Alabama but Eason playing at his full potential could beat them, similar to the way Mettenberger put LSU in position to beat them in 2012.
Unless you have Deshaun Watson, this is your best shot.
