Alabama wins at Georgia, ends 33-game home win streak
Georgia has won 33 consecutive home games, the longest active streak in college football. For the Bulldogs to continue their streak, they will have to beat Alabama on Saturday night in Sanford Stadium.
Kirby Smart and his program will also have to break a trend against the Crimson Tide to continue the winning streak in Athens. Georgia’s last win in Athens over Alabama came in 2003. The Bulldogs are 1-6 against Alabama under Smart, but none of those games have been at Sanford Stadium
