One thing the article suggests that I'm not entirely sold on is that UGA and Wisky run similar schemes. I haven't watched enough of both of those teams to make that call.
It will be interesting to see how Lambert performs if Bama is able to keep Chubb contained.

Georgia does a fantastic job at sprinkling in different concepts that make it extremely hard to read keys as a defensive player. Running back Nick Chubb, 5’10”, 220 pounds, has posted 12-consecutive 100-yard rushing games since he became a starter taking over for the great Todd Gurley as a true freshman last season.
But the common denominator between those two running backs is an OL unit that’s greater than the sum of its parts. I once opined that UGA’s no-name OL piloted the country’s bet rushing attack, it can officially prove it by taking it to the country’s best defensive line.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban has put a premium on top-notch defensive line talent for the majority of his illustrious career, but it can be argued that the current incarnation is the deepest, most talented unit he’s ever had. It’s shown the ability to be adept in even- or odd-front alignments, and it’s absolutely ferocious against the run.
This is truly strength against strength.
