Summary
Saturday’s No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 6 Alabama game is still expected to kick off at Bryant-Denny Stadium as scheduled, though officials could still adjust the start time.
Tropical Storm Isaias is forecast to bring heavy rain, possible flooding and strong winds to Tuscaloosa, with AccuWeather calling for a 90% chance of rain, 1.19 inches of precipitation and gusts up to 38 mph.
The SEC said earlier this week it was monitoring forecasts and staying in contact with schools that could be affected, while Alabama said Tuesday there were no plans to alter the contest.
Kirby Smart said storm conditions cannot really be simulated in practice, and Kalen DeBoer said Alabama is mainly responding with wet-ball drills as both teams prepare for playable but messy conditions.
