Game of the Week

Georgia Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide
7:45 ET on ESPN and ESPN 360

In best match up of the week Mark Richt brings his team in to play God 's Nick Saban's fighting Elephants at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama is coming off of a big time win last week against Arkansas while Georgia is still recovering from a thumping two weeks ago against the Ole Ball Coach. Two teams whose fan bases believe they are going in opposite directions, but things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem in the world of college football.

Matthew Stafford recovered from the South Carolina game last week against Western Carolina going 14 for 20 with 2 touchdown passes in a winning effort. In order to win running back Thomas Brown is going to have to step up his 47 yard a game out put over the first three games of the season. Wide receiver Sean Bailey needs to live up to the big play potential he had coming out of high school as well.

All a viewer needs to know about Alabama is that God Nick Saban is still their coach and John Parker Wilson has not cut his hair. The Crimson Tide is rolling and nothing can stop them...

....except the Georgia Bulldogs. Stafford will have a game that solidifies him at the quarterback in the eyes' of the Dawg faithful with Baily helping him out all day long. Terry Grant will be held to under 75 yards by the Georgia defense and a maligned secondary will keep D.J. Hall in check. Georgia leads from start to finish bringing the Tide faithful back down to earth beating the Alabama 31-13.

Maybe Nick Saban is not God...

South Carolina Lineman Shanked

USC offensive lineman Quentin Richardson was stabbed after getting into an argument over the weekend in Columbia, South Carolina. Richardson, set to be a freshman this fall, is a four star Rivals recruit who is listed at 6'4", 270 pounds. Anyone messing with that dude has got to be crazy. Our bet is its gonna come back that some nut job like Demetrius Summers (see picture to the right) is the shanker in this incident.

Richardson is recuperating in the hospital after undergoing surgery Sunday afternoon. He is expected to be fine and released later this week. He has had many visitors including one very pissed off Steve Spurrier. Can't you see S.O.S. in the hospital room throwing his Master's visor while he is lecturing Richardson on not getting stabbed?
