Beck bounced back after his fumble on the final possession to complete a six-play, 80-yard drive.

Unlike Georgia’s second scoring drive, Beck and the offense sliced ​​through the Alabama defense with a 21-yard and 34-yard reception. The Bulldogs capped the drive with an eight-yard one-handed touchdown to tight end Luckie Lawson.

Alabama is unable to convert on the two-point conversion and leads 33-21 with less than 10 minutes left in the game.

After orchestrating Georgia’s second scoring drive of the game, Beck gave up the pigskin again with another turnover.

On the eighth play of the drive, Beck scanned the field as he rolled out to his right. However, Alabama linebacker Qua Russaw met the quarterback in the backfield, stripping away the football that led to a fumble recovery by his teammate defensive tackle Jah-Marien Latham.

The fumble was Beck’s third turnover of the game.

Give me that! 💪@QuaRussaw

What can’t the 17-year-old freshman do?

At their own 21-yard line on 2nd and 10, Milroe launched a pass down the field to wide receiver Ryan Williams. Williams, who was guarded by arguably Georgia’s best defensive back, Malaki Starks, bobbled the catch four times before coming down with the 54-yard reception.

Not only did the catch put the Crimson Tide in the red zone, it also put Williams at 102 receiving yards on the day. He has more than both totals in his last two games, but is just 37 yards away from tying his career-high.

Alabama ended the drive with a field goal to increase the lead to 33-15.

The Bulldogs haven’t given up yet and scored with almost five minutes left in the third quarter.

After back-to-back three-and-outs by both Georgia and Alabama to start the quarter, the former put together a 15-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 12-yard passing touchdown from Beck to wide receiver Arian Smith .

Converting the two-point conversion, the Bulldogs cut the Crimson Tide’s lead to 15.

Former president and GOP nominee Donald Trump, musician Kid Rock and former Georgia running back Herschel Walker were seen together in a suite during the Georgia-Alabama game.

It was reported that Trump would be at the game earlier this week. The three were joined by professional golfer John Dailey and Alabama Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Katie Britt (R-AL). Britt was scheduled to host Trump during his trip to Tuscaloosa.

It was noted that other celebrities and professional athletes were also in attendance. This included rapper Quavo, a noted Georgia sports fan, and former Alabama players quarterback AJ McCarron and wide receiver Julio Jones.

There wasn’t anything Alabama couldn’t do in the first half.

With four scores and two interceptions, topped by a safety, the Crimson Tide produced more than 350 yards of offense, including 156 rushing yards on just 18 attempts. Milroe completed 18 of 21 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and interception — more yards than the entire Georgia offense.

If the 30-7 score holds, it would be the Crimson Tide’s biggest win over the Bulldogs since 2015.

Due to a scuffle between the two teams at the end of the half, Alabama was assessed an unsportsmanlike penalty that will be added to the second half kickoff, which will help Georgia, who will receive the ball after the break.

After Milroe’s interception in the red zone, his first interception of the season, the Crimson Tide defense made up for their quarterback’s mistake.

By forcing consecutive incompletions and pressuring Beck at the Georgia two-yard line, Alabama brought the house on third down to make things even tougher for the quarterback. Beck noticed the increased pressure and threw the ball across the field with no receiver in sight, leading to an intentional ground call and safety.

Alabama leads 30-7 with less than two minutes before halftime.

After the Georgia defense’s big stop on 4th and 1 to force a turnover on downs, Georgia had a chance to build on its final possession with another scoring drive.

That dream quickly died when Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell picked off Beck on the first play of the drive – his second interception of the game.

Georgia finally finds the end zone.

An 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive that started with an 11-yard run by running back Trevor Etienne, the Bulldogs closed out the possession with an 11-yard rushing touchdown from Etienne up the middle.

Georgia attempted a two-point conversion, but it was called back due to offensive pass interference. After the call, the Bulldogs settled for an extra-point field goal, cutting Alabama’s lead to 21.

On 4th-and-1 at the Georgia 36-yard line, the Bulldogs defense had a chance to stop the bleeding.

However, Milroe had other plans: feign the transfer and rush out. With one Georgia defender to beat, the quarterback won the running game down the sideline and rushed for a 36-yard touchdown – his second of the game.

Alabama leads 28-0 with 130 yards on the ground to the Bulldogs’ eight yards. Here’s a look at each team’s offenses in this one-sided affair.

It’s all Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Following the interception of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, the Bulldogs’ first turnover of the year, the Crimson Tide wasted no time.

On the third play of the drive, running back Germie Bernard sent Saban Field into a frenzy, scoring on a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Alabama has scored on all three of their offensive plays in the first quarter, while Milroe has yet to throw an incompletion.

After an efficient first drive to start the game, Alabama couldn’t have asked for a better start to the SEC Showdown.

That all changed on the second drive, as the Crimson Tide upped the ante. The offense scored again, as Milroe spotted wideout Jamarion Miller shooting down the right sideline for a 16-yard passing touchdown to give Alabama a 14-0 lead.

The Crimson Tide got everything they wanted on the drive, gaining four plays for more than 15 yards on the six-play, 84-yard scoring drive.

Perfect.

The Crimson Tide jumps on the board first.

After a 34-yard reception for wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr., his third catch of the season, to put Alabama in the red zone, quarterback Jalen Milroe took over from there.

After a 10-yard holding penalty for the foul, Milroe ran back-to-back-to-back plays until he reached the end zone to complete an eight-play, 70-yard drive on the game’s first possession.

Don’t stop 4️⃣@JalenMilroe

It’s almost time for perhaps the regular season game of the year.

The last six meetings between Georgia and Alabama have taken place in either the SEC Championship or the National Championship.

Both programs enter the SEC showdown differently than ever before due to the departure of coach Nick Saban in February. Alabama prepares for its biggest test yet and gets a glimpse into life without Saban, who coached in Tuscaloosa for 17 seasons.

The Bulldogs, the 2021 and 2022 national champions, have amassed a 45-2 record since 2021 – both losses coming to Alabama. With Saban out of the picture, will Georgia survive the regular season bump?

Former President Donald Trump will attend the Georgia-Alabama game, according to multiple reports.

Saturday marks Trump’s second visit to an Alabama football game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. He attended the Crimson Tide game against LSU in 2019 and the 2018 national championship between Alabama and Georgia in Atlanta.

With both Trump and ESPN’s College GameDay topping the list of high-profile names attending the game, the University of Alabama has stated that there will be increased security and is suggesting fans arrive early.

Trump, the current Republican Party nominee, will be received by U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) and her husband.
