Here's a recap of the game: • Alabama started strong with two long drives, including a touchdown pass from Ty Simpson to Germie Bernard, converting seven straight third-down attempts. The Crimson Tide built a 24-14 halftime lead, with Simpson accounting for two touchdowns (one passing, one rushing). Georgia's offense came alive in the second quarter, with Gunner Stockton throwing a 38-yard touchdown pass to Colbie Young and Chauncey Bowens adding a 2-yard touchdown run. • In the second half, Alabama's offense stalled, and Georgia capitalized, scoring a touchdown to narrow the lead to 24-21 after a missed Alabama field goal and a big run by Dillon Bell. Georgia also gained 227 yards on the ground, with Chauncey Bowens rushing for 119 yards. Alabama's defensive lineman James Smith was ejected for targeting.

Bama shut out in the 2nd half and still won. Missed FG. It was bad. Bama defense burned on jet sweep, on reverse, and on deep TD pass to Colbie Young when Demoni Jackson bit on his fake.
