Alabama-Georgia: On-field trends from their last Athens meeting - ESPN
This Saturday, for the first time in ten years, the Alabama Crimson Tide will play the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia.
Alabama and Georgia, two of the SEC's premier football programs, have met plenty of times over the past decade. The two school's latest matchup history includes SEC title games, national championships and, most recently, a thrilling encounter in Tuscaloosa last fall.
But it's been quite some time since the Crimson Tide paid a visit to Sanford Stadium to play between the hedges.
The last time Alabama traveled to Athens was in 2015 and it proved a memorable visit. A rainy day set the scene. Star power, headlined by running backs Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb, abounded, and the Crimson Tide's 38-10 win proved a milestone moment in both Mark Richt's final season coaching Georgia and the first title campaign of a new era for Nick Saban's Alabama dynasty.
With the Crimson Tide once again in Athens this weekend for a prime-time clash, we looked back at the lay of the land around both programs from the last time Sanford Stadium played host to an Alabama-Georgia showdown.
King Henry rumbles toward his crown
To call Derrick Henry's 2015 season for the Crimson Tide impressive would likely be an understatement. The future Baltimore Ravens star finished the year with 2,219 yards and 28 rushing touchdowns, scoring at least one touchdown in every game he played in en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. His output in Alabama's trip to Sanford Stadium was accordingly formidable.
Henry scored the Crimson Tide's first touchdown of the day in the second quarter, a 30-yard scamper that put the visitors up 10-6. He'd keep pacing the Alabama offense from there, posting 148 rushing yards on 26 carries.
