#3 Georgia. #8 Alabama. Biggest College Game I've shot. Sidelines packed full of people, lots whom didn't need to be there. And to Sports Comm's credit, those that clearly didn't need to be there mysteriously disappeared after halftime. Coincidently, Georgia didn't show up until after halftime either.




Alabama lineman Antoine Caldwell celebrates a touchdown with Roy Upchurch as the #9 Alabama Crimson Tide lead the #3 Georgia Bulldogs 31-0 at halftime at Sanford Stadium in Athens on Saturday, September 27, 2008.

It was a game of two halves. Alabama dominated the first half, going up an unthinkable 31-0. Georgia came back and scored 30 in the second half, including 1 punt return for a TD, 1 blocked punt and a successful onside kick. Did i get a good picture of any of these? Of course not.

The first half had lots of Alabama Jube. The second half had lots of Georgia passes and dropped passes. Shooting wise, it got a little predictable. Everyone has their own style of how they shoot football. Me, i just try to do what the defensive backs do: read the quarterback and follow where he's looking when his arm comes back to throw.

All in all, the game was OKAY. I had pictures of two fumbles that weren't therefore utterly useless. I liked my one handed interception and some of the 'BAMA jube. Never made a really good Georgia picture that i liked. Just wasn't there.
