In the first game of the Kalen DeBoer era, Alabama defeated the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 63-0 in Bryant-Denny Stadium. DeBoer is currently 3-0 as the head coach of Alabama.

DeBoer's undefeated record will be put to the test on September 28. It will be the most anticipated game in Tuscaloosa since LSU came to town in 2019. The Georgia Bulldogs, currently ranked as the No. 2 team in the country, will visit for the first game without Nick Saban since Georgia and Alabama played in 2003.

Alabama holds a 43-26-4 all-time record against Georgia. The latest win for Alabama came in the 2023 SEC Championship game when Jalen Milroe led the Crimson Tide to a 27-24 win to secure the school's 29th SEC Championship win.

The last win for Georgia came in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship when Stetson Bennett IV led Georgia to a 33-18 win over an injured Alabama team.
