Matchup to watch: Georgia running game vs. Jesse Williams and C.J. Mosley
The Georgia offense has been effective this season, especially in the ground game. Despite losing Isaiah Crowell before the season, the Bulldogs have gotten solid production from freshman Todd Gurley. Gurley will be tasked with weaving his way through the likes of Jesse Williams and C.J. Mosley, two fast rising 2013 NFL Draft prospects. If Georgia can where down Alabama's defense and keep its own playmaking defense on the sidelines, the Bulldogs could have a huge.

Matchup: E.J. Manuel vs. Georgia Tech's secondary
E.J. Manuel struggled in last week’s game against Florida to continue his inconsistent career. He has quite a bit to prove heading into the pre-draft process, but these last few games are also crucial to his draft stock. Georgia Tech’s secondary is no slouch. Rod Sweeting, in particular, is a very talented player in the pass defense. This will be an interesting test for Manuel.
