Henry wears down the 'Dawgs
    
In a torrential downpour,  the Alabama Crimson Tide may have righted their ship in the 2015 season. Georgia was a 2 point favorite to hand Alabama football team its second loss of the season. The 'Dawgs had everything  in their favor. They were at home, they had a red hot quarterback, and a running back who couldn't be stopped. Sportswriters all over America was ready to write some slick article about the death of the Alabama football program. Someone forgot to tell the Crimson Tide about their impending death. The final score was 38-10, and once again we all learned the basic rule of SEC truth - In the end there will always be Alabama. In the rain, mud, and all the adversity in the world, Nick Saban and his Crimson Warriors embarrassed the number 8 ranked team in America. It wasn't even close.

Alabama  wasn't perfect, but they were relentless. The defense completely shut down the high powered Georgia running game except for one play. The young corner-backs showed they can play. The down linemen, all of them, dominated the line of scrimmage. It was the as good as it could get if you love Alabama. The Alabama offensive line showed obvious improvement giving room for Tide backs to scamper for 202 yards.On a rainy night in Georgia the Alabama Crimson Tide gave the SEC a message. The Tide is back. I'm not sure they ever went anywhere. Maybe they were merely licking there wounds after the Ole MIss game. Whatever the Tide coaching staff put together it worked. 



   
Two interceptions and blocked punt for DBs
    After Jacob Coker ran his bootleg to get the Tide points total to 37, the entire Georgia  fan base voted with their feet about how they felt about their program. Mark Richt looked like part of the walking dead in his press conference. Georgia is a good football program. They are not Alabama. When talking about SEC football the conversation starts with Alabama. From time to time another school has a couple of hot seasons, but in the end  we all know the Crimson Tide is waiting like the grim reaper. It is not will Alabama eventually kill you, but just a matter of when. Georgia was all dressed up but had no where to go except back to the drawing board. Alabama rolled up their sleeves and went to work. We've seen this a hundred times before. 


The Alabama win didn't seem like an upset did it? The Florida win over Ole Miss didn't seem to be an upset. Arkansas contributed to the continued collapse of Tennessee football. The Razorbacks ran the 'Vols into the ground in the last three quarters. Arkansas now turns to Tuscaloosa for the next game. I'd bet the Tide front seven is smiling. Arkansas won't beat Alabama on the ground. They'll have to pass the ball, and the game might prove to be the young defensive backfields biggest test to date. That defensive backfield intercepted two passes and saw one of their own block a punt for a TD.
