Georgia plays ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ at practice field before Alabama game
Georgia is trying to be a place where the skies are so blue, too.
The Bulldogs blared Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” on Monday at the practice field, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It’s not surprising, considering No. 1/2 Georgia will face No. 4 on Saturday (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It’s frankly smart preparation, considering the Bulldogs will hear the song in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.
The game figures to be quite the spectacle. Not only will it be a matchup between two top four teams, but it is the first time that Georgia (3-0) will have played in Tuscaloosa since 2007 with a full crowd (The last time was in 2020 during the COVID-19 season). The game also figures to have significant SEC and College Football Playoff implications. College GameDay will hold its show in town, and former President Donald Trump plans to attend.
The Georgia practice playlist surely includes more than “Sweet Home Alabama” but now we know at least one song on the list. Maybe even “Dixieland Delight” will be on it, too.

Sources: Georgia State landing new defensive coordinator from ACC champs
Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
