Derrick Henry named guest picker for Alabama/Georgia matchup

The ESPN College Football GameDay crew is in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) for Saturday’s matchup between Alabama and Georgia.

Everyone senses this matchup will be the game of the year, and it could be the first of a rematch down the road for a Southeastern Conference Championship. Alabama football will have its LED lighting feature going at Bryant-Denny Stadium, as a little over 20,000 fans look to push the Crimson Tide to victory at home. A pleasant surprise will be on tap as Derrick Henry makes his return to his Alma mater. A native of Yulee, Fla., Henry was a five-star in Alabama’s 2013 recruiting class and he became the school’s all-time leader for rushing yards (3,591) and touchdowns (42) in three seasons.
