Kalen DeBoer’s track record vs. Steve Sarkisian, Dan Lanning, Kirby Smart suggests big day for Alabama football

Alabama football enters Saturday’s home showdown against Georgia with a statistical edge that could prove decisive. Head coach Kalen DeBoer boasts a 7-1 career record against three of college football’s most respected coaches—Steve Sarkisian, Dan Lanning, and Kirby Smart—including victories over Lanning’s Oregon and Sarkisian’s Texas during his Washington Huskies tenure.

That track record, coupled with Alabama’s recent momentum under DeBoer, contrasts with Georgia’s uneven history against the Crimson Tide, despite last year’s SEC Championship win in Atlanta. The Bulldogs’ defense has been a national standout, while Alabama’s Keelon Russell has emerged as a Heisman contender early in the season.

With both teams undefeated and a resume-boosting win on the line, Saturday’s 7:30 pm ET clash in Tuscaloosa will serve as a pivotal statement game for SEC supremacy.
