Game of the year! Alabama survives Georgia’s comeback to remain undefeated in the SEC after back and forth action

Everyone thought it would be a great game, but this was just over the top. Alabama had a huge lead, and Georgia came back to take the lead but in a heartbeat, they lost it again and the Crimson Tide survived at home and beat the Bulldogs 41-34 to remain undefeated.

Bama built a 21-0 lead in the first quarter with an inspired Jalen Milroe who was throwing the ball al over the place and running for first downs. Towards the half, the Tide had a 30 to 7 lead, and nobody thought Georgia could return in this one.

But the Bulldogs slowly but surely came back with a third quarter touchdown plus a two-point conversion and after an Alabama field goal, starting the fourth quarter the visiting team from Georgia once again scored.

The crazy last minutes

It was 33-21 late in the fourth and the Bulldogs got to the endzone once again and then got a stop, all mayhem got loose. Down by five and with under three minutes to go, Carson Beck was unleashed as he let go of the ball to find a wide-open receiver to take the lead.

The Dawgs went for two but could no convert and the mayhem continued. On the ensuing possession, Milroe once again went deep to find Ryan Williams for a 75-yard connection to re-take the lead and after going for two points, it was 41-34 with under two minutes to go.

Still Georgia had another chance. They drove down the field and with seconds left, Beck fired towards the endzone, but he was intercepted for a third time in the game and that sealed the win for Alabama. Milroe went 27-33 for 374 yards and 2 touchdowns, one interception, and he also carried the ball 16 times for 117 yards and two more scores. Williams had six receptions for 177 yards and the touchdown.

For Georgia, Carson Beck threw the ball 50 times, completing 27 passes for 439 yards and he threw three touchdowns. Arian Smith had six receptions for 132 yards and and a touchdown.
