You can take the player out of the SEC but you can’t take the SEC out of the player, especially when it comes to rivalries. Jalen Hurts and Jordan Davis proved that Sunday in an interview with NBC on Football Night in America .
Analyst Maria Taylor , a Georgia alum, invited Davis, who played for the Bulldogs in college, to say “Go Dawgs” at the end of his interview. Georgia is set to play Alabama this coming weekend in Athen.
Hurts, however, was in the background and not going to let that slide. The former Crimson Tide quarterback looked to the camera and cut in with a classic “Roll Tide.”

Hurts played college football at Alabama from 2016-18 before playing his final season at Oklahoma . He has often shown his support for both schools since becoming a pro.
Davis played for Georgia from 2018-21 and won a national championship in his final season with the program. It’s safe to assume there will be plenty of trash talking between the two Philadelphia Eagles teammates heading into Saturday when the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs face off.
Alabama won the most recent two meetings, including a 41-34 victory last season. However, the Bulldogs enter a 3-point home favorites according to Bet MGM .
We’ll see whether that holds true and Davis and Georgia can regain bragging right over Hurts and Alabama. Kickoff for the game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in Athens.
