Five weeks after Alabama once again asserted its dominance over Georgia in the SEC title game, the Bulldogs drag the weight of a seven-game losing streak against the Tide and a year national title drought into a rematch at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The last meeting was especially painful for Georgia. Georgia had stomped everything in its path behind a defense that was smothering opponents at an historically stingy pace before Bryce Young and the Tide picked the Bulldogs apart in Atlanta.

That game in Atlanta was the first — and until now the only —- CFP title game matching conference rivals. The Bulldogs led at half before freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench to rally the Tide and force overtime.

Georgia took an OT lead and had Alabama facing second-and when Tagovailoa threw a yard touchdown to fellow freshman DeVonta Smith for the win. Smart said he didn't return to the school where he played in the mids with the goal of building Alabama East and derailing the dynasty.

A Manchin aide gave the White House about a minute notice before the lawmaker announced his position on national television, said a person familiar with the senator's actions who described them only on condition of anonymity.

But both drugmakers recently warned that laboratory testing suggests their therapies will be much less potent against omicron, which contains dozens of mutations that make it harder for antibodies to attack the virus.

A third antibody from British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline appears to be the best positioned to fight omicron. But agency leaders say omicron is spreading faster than any past variant and will become the dominant strain nationwide within weeks.
