The No. 17 Alabama football team faces No. 5 Georgia on the road Saturday in its first SEC game of the season. These two programs are plenty familiar with one another, facing off as recently as last September, but it's Alabama's first trip between the hedges in a decade.

The Crimson Tide won 38-10 the last time it played in Athens, in October of 2015. Then-unbeaten Georgia found itself thoroughly dominated by an Alabama team likely playing for its title hopes following an early-season home loss against Ole Miss.

Alabama hopes to have veterans Jam Miller and Tim Keenan III back for this game. Neither has played yet this season after sustaining injuries in fall camp: Miller collarbone, Keenan ankle. In a huge night game and Kalen DeBoer's first time coaching inside Sanford Stadium, the Crimson Tide needs all hands on deck. Georgia and Alabama were on a bye after their respective wins Sept. 13.

Who: Alabama (2-1, 0-0 SEC) at Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC)

What: Alabama's 2025 SEC opener

When: Saturday, Sept. 27, 6:30 p.m. CT

Where: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Georgia

TV: ABC

Last meeting: Alabama beat Georgia, 41-34, thanks to a 75-yard touchdown connection between Jalen Milroe and then-freshman Ryan Williams late in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide led 28-0 in the second quarter before Georgia took the lead in the final frame. Williams had six total catches for 177 yards and one of the most memorable touchdowns in recent Bryant-Denny Stadium history in his first SEC game.

Last time out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide defeated Wisconsin 38-14 at home, handing the Badgers their first loss of the 2025 season. Quarterback Ty Simpson passed for 382 yards and four touchdowns. Williams had five receptions for 165 yards and a pair of scores in his return from a concussion.

Last time out, Georgia: The Bulldogs took to Neyland Stadium against Tennessee and seemed as though they were going to lose a closely contested game at the end of regulation. Instead, the Volunteers missed a field goal to send the game to overtime, where Georgia won 44-41.
