An interesting matchup for a Sugar Bowl, because you have a power football oriented Big 12 football team in the Nebraska Cornhuskers, on both sides of the ball, where they probably ran the ball seventy to eighty percent of the time, including their quarterback, with a big strong offensive line as well and big and strong on defense.

The Cornhuskers essentially playing a spread offense Louisiana Tigers team, that spread the defense out with three receivers or more, looking for one on one mismatch advantages that they could take advantage of, with their speed receivers and running backs and throwing the ball quickly.

So in a matchup like that where both teams move the ball very well and score a lot of points, but does it differently, it is the defense that plays the best and adjust the best that generally wins the game.

Carl Milton: SEC Football 1985- Alabama Crimson Tide @ Georgia Bulldogs: Full Game

Source:Carl Milton– with the 1985 Bulldogs-Crimson Tide game.

“Mike Shula leads the Crimson Tide into Sanford Stadium to take on Wayne Johnson and the Georgia Bulldogs. Herschel Walker’s jersey was retired at halftime with ceremonies being led by the legendary Dan McGill. Bama won this one in a thriller at the end 20-16 but not before Georgia made an incedible comeback to take the lead with less than a minute left. As a Georgia fan, this one was a huge heartbreaker but a great SEC game, as usual. Enjoy! I do not own the rights to this video and do not profit from it in any way.”

A great, under appreciated football rivalry in the SEC.
