“I feel like we’re more talented," safety Bacarri Rambo said.
Fighting words, right?
Well, not exactly. It takes two, and Alabama wasn't biting.
On his way up to the stage for his weekly Wednesday interview, AJ McCarron was smiling. He'd just brokered a deal to wear a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants rather than the traditional Alabama polo shirt most others don for their respective time in front of the camera.
What followed was the opposite of bulletin-board material.
"Just another game," McCarron said. "That's the biggest thing everyone needs to just remember. Don't make the game bigger than what it is. Just another Saturday."
A few moments later, a reporter informed senior center Barrett Jones about Georgia's "emotional" comments heading into Saturday's game.
Jones shrugged his shoulders.
"We don’t really worry about how Georgia prepares for a game. We worry about ourselves," Jones said. "That’s always been our strategy. We want to bring the best Alabama team possible into the game. We want to prepare as best we can.
"We feel like if we’re at our best, we’re pretty hard to beat.”
Though it might not seem like it, Jones' confidence and the more outward bravado exhibited by Georgia are essentially the same thing. They're just being expressed in entirely different fashions.
