Georgia football podcast: UGA can’t play the underdog role vs. Alabama
Beginning of the show: Georgia is technically the underdog at Alabama Saturday. The Crimson Tide has been favored for most of the week. However, UGA won’t have much of an opportunity to play up that underdog role ahead of Saturday’s game. There are plenty in the national media picking the Bulldogs to win, and UGA coach Kirby Smart has worked to make games against programs such as Alabama a fair fight. I’ll discuss more on today’s show why UGA’s attempt to beat the Crimson Tide won’t be aided by the extra motivation of being able to say, “Nobody believes in us.”
