Georgia enters today's game as the No. 2-ranked team in the nation. As impressive as quarterback Gunner Stockton has been this season, Georgia has actually been a run-first team. They have run the ball 164 times with 17 different ball-carriers.
Stockton has done a bit of carrying, but he tends to scramble out of necessity instead of set plays. The top four carriers for the Bulldogs are all running backs. 111 of the 162 carries have gone to their top four options, and three of them are averaging 6.7 yards per carry or more. The other, Chauncey Bowens, is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry but has six touchdowns.
Alabama has also run the ball substantially more than they have passed it. The Tide has thrown the ball 136 times, and they've run the ball 192 times. Also, like Georgia, they have 13 different runners this season. They really only have a primary combination of two backs, though. Their top two running backs have combined for 93 carries.
Alabama's leading rusher, Daniel Hill, has run the ball 51 times for 247 yards and four touchdowns this season. The second leading rusher, Traeshawn Brown, has 42 carries for 211 yards and five scores. The team has a total of 17 touchdowns on the ground, with EJ Crowell and Keelon Russell giving another seven to the team.
