No. 17 Alabama will face its biggest test of the 2025 season on Saturday: a trip to Athens, Georgia, to face the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.
Alabama is currently 0-1 on the road this season and 2-5 overall under Year 2 head coach Kalen Deboer. The Crimson Tide won’t have an easy path ahead for their second chance of redemption on the road. The Bulldogs currently hold the longest active home winning streak in college football with 33 consecutive wins. The last time the Bulldogs lost at home was in double overtime to South Carolina on October 14, 2019.
On Wednesday, DeBoer previewed the matchup during the “Hey Coach Show,” and he expressed that the Alabama staff has done everything they can to prepare the team for the loud environment and that communication will play a huge role if the Crimson Tide want to be successful.
“Communication in an environment like we’re going to be in is certainly a challenge. But we couldn’t get it any louder than we had it today, I promise you that. You couldn’t hear the person right next to you,” said DeBoer.
Alabama leads Georgia 44-26-4 in the all-time series between the 2 powerhouses. The last time the Crimson Tide traveled to Athens was during the 2015 season, when Alabama won 38-10.
Kickoff between Alabama and Georgia is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on ABC .
