Game Day - Sept. 27th

The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs made a loud statement at Arizona State. The 27-10 final does not reflect how thoroughly they outclassed the Sun Devils.

Georgia held the Sun Devils to four rushing yards, sacked Rudy Carpenter four times and was never really challenged in the second half.

With quarterback Matthew Stafford, running back Knowshon Moreno and emerging freshman wideout A.J. Green, the Bulldogs' offense looked impossible to stop.

Now, the defense is looking nearly as dominant. Linebacker Rennie Curran shot through gaps Saturday night to disrupt the Sun Devils, and the unit's overall speed was breathtaking.

Alabama comes to town for a major showdown Saturday night. It's another chance for Georgia to show the nation it deserves to climb back up and claim one of the top two spots in the polls.

The No. 9 Tide (4-0) scored touchdowns on its first two possessions, returned two interceptions for touchdowns and thoroughly dominated Arkansas (2-1) in a lopsided 49-14 score.

Saban seemed more pleased than he had been after the opening victory over Clemson, probably because as well as his team played, there was enough concern to allow him to continue preaching this week about not letting up — especially with Georgia on the schedule this weekend.

What Saban had to be pleased about, however, was that the players seem to get it. They knew before they hit the postgame locker room that they had not played anywhere near as good of a game as the score indicated. The defense came up big, but they've some work to do before Alabama takes on Georgia Saturday night.
