When Alabama led Georgia by four touchdowns, the story was written. Then college football did things in college, chaos ruled the day, and now we’re left wondering exactly how the best game of the season — and one of the best games in recent history — played out the way it did.

Alabama defeated Georgia 41-34. That was the final score.
