TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Campus is buzzing as we inch closer to kickoff between Georgia and Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.
One of the biggest matchups of the season will take place inside Bryant-Denny Stadium this weekend, as Kalen DeBoer looks to secure his first signature win as the Alabama head coach. And it would come against a team, and coach, that the Tide can assuredly call a ‘rival’ now.
The obvious difference in this game is the coach who will not be roaming the opposite sideline as Kirby Smart, but rather sitting in a suite above the field. We've seen countless classics between Nick Saban and Kirby Smart, but this time it's obviously different. But that hasn't changed the excitement for this top-5 matchup, as Alabama looks for its chance to get a leg up in the SEC, while also making sure the Bulldogs don't leave Tuscaloosa with a win.

As for the fans, they packed the ‘Quad’ on Friday afternoon, some of them waiting for ‘College Gameday’ to go live, while others were soaking in the atmosphere of bands playing and students enjoying some cornhole to the sound of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’.
For the students and their interesting decorations that will welcome Georgia fans into town on Saturday, some of them got creative with their verbiage, while some won't get into this article. Driving around campus, it was hard not to feel the excitement level picking up, as students decorated their houses with bedsheets, with some entertaining words that even made me laugh.
