Alabama hangs on for the win after Georgia mounts a massive comeback
For much of the past decade, who rules college football has largely alternated between two schools: Alabama and Georgia.
For much of the past decade, who rules college football has largely alternated between two schools: Alabama and Georgia.
When the rivals that have combined to win five of the last nine national titles met Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they took turns controlling the game again — while producing the wildest outcome of the season, one that wasn’t decided until the final minute, when Alabama intercepted Georgia quarterback Carson Beck in the end zone to seal a 41-34 win by the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide.
The loss snapped second-ranked Georgia’s 42-game winning streak in the regular season.
Alabama (4-0) led 28-0 by the end of the first quarter in a start that suggested the Crimson Tide hadn’t lost a step under new coach Kalen DeBoer, even with legendary coach Nick Saban watching from the stands.
Yet behind a composed second half from Georgia’s defense and Beck, the Bulldogs (3-1) came all the way back to lead 34-33 with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter.
