Alabama's biggest disadvantage vs. Georgia has nothing to do with talent

When Alabama and Georgia matchup on Saturday night, the talent level of the two teams will be nearly equal, as it often has been since Kirby Smart took over in Athens. What serves to make the difference in the game isn't likely to be ability; it's probably going to be mentally.

And it's there that Georgia has its biggest advantage over Alabama.

The Bulldogs have already proven their mental resolve. They could have laid down a couple of weeks ago in Knoxville against Tennessee. The Vols punched them in the mouth repeatedly, building a 21-7 advantage and holding an eight-point lead with under three minutes to go.
