    A Weekly Look at the Matchups Featuring Outland Trophy Candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 P.M

    IN THE TRENCHES: WEEK 7 OUTLAND TROPHY MATCHUPS PRESENTED BY THE FOOTBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA A weekly look at the matchups featuring Outland Trophy candidates Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0), 7 p.m. CT on CBS This week’s Outland Trophy feature puts us in Tuscaloosa again for an SEC matchup we’ve been looking forward to for a while. After all, these two cross-division rivals don’t meet very often. It’s the two SEC division leaders facing off, with the Bulldogs facing their third Top-15 foe in a row after dominating No. 7 Auburn 27-6 at home and then humbling No. 14 Tennessee 44-21 last week in Knoxville. Fans are scratching their heads regarding Alabama’s defense after giving up a school-record 647 total yards in a 63-48 win at Ole Miss last week. The timing may be right for a Georgia offense that is only 34th nationally but still averaging 420.0 yards per game. But it’s the ‘Bama offense we’re dwelling on here and its three offensive lineman from our Watch List. This trio – center Landon Dickerson (#69, Gr., Hickory, N.C.), left guard Deonte Brown (#65, Decatur, Ala.) and left of- fensive tackle Alex Leatherwood (#70, Pensacola, Fla.) – is powering the country’s top scoring team at 51.0 points per game playing three games within the SEC, and its third-best offense cranking at 560.3 yards per game. Nobody has stopped it yet. The 723 total yards the Tide gained at Ole Miss was its second-most ever and the 63 points it scored marked the 16th consecutive game that Alabama has scored 35-or-more points, the longest streak in major-college football history.

    Alabama Offensive Players Preview CFP National Championship Showdown with Ohio State

    Alabama Offensive Players Preview CFP National Championship Showdown With Ohio State Following their 49-28 victory over Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals, the Buckeyes are amid preparation for a national championship showdown with the Crimson Tide, who defeated Notre Dame 31-14 in their semifinal game. A slew of Crimson Tide offensive players spoke to members of the media via Zoom video conference Jan. 6, previewing the highly anticipated title game. What follows is a rundown of what senior wide receiver Devonta Smith, senior offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood, fifth-year senior tight end Miller Forristall, fourth-year junior quarterback Mac Jones, sophomore wide receiver John Metchie, and senior running back Najee Harris said: Alabama senior wide receiver Devonta Smith: Just wondered what was the emotion like last night? Was there anxiety watching that ceremony? Last night was a great feeling. It was just a blessing just to be in that situation, to be with Mac and Coach Saban here last night. But now that’s in the past and now it’s on to Ohio State. I was just curious as to — you’re such a focused individual, moving on to the next thing, but the excitement of last night, did you have trouble sleeping? Was it a good night’s sleep for you or were you able to just kind of put that to bed, so to speak, and move on? I went home and went straight to sleep. I know it remains to be seen if he’s going to play or not, but just how good is it to see Jaylen Waddle back at practice and back on his feet? It’s amazing just to see him recover.
