The Crimson Tide (4-0) raced out to a 28-0 lead and scored more points in the first quarter than Georgia (3-1) had allowed in three previous games combined this season. However, the Bulldogs adapted and continued to battle well into the fourth quarter. This led to the visitors taking a 34-33 lead with under three minutes to go, but that wouldn’t be all they wrote for an instant SEC classic.

On the very next offensive play, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe found freshman sensation Ryan Williams for a 75-yard touchdown that will grace football highlight reels for the near and distant future. From there, a two-point conversion followed, giving Alabama a lead it would never relinquish.

It was a game for the books, with an ending that matched the enormous hype the match received in the lead-up. While there is plenty for the Crimson Tide to improve, such as leaving the field on fourth down (a battle against Georgia), and possibly also establishing the run game more, a team would much rather address these issues while they have won. the kind of down-to-earth game the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs played on Saturday.

Alabama will play its first road conference game next as it travels to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt in a game scheduled for the afternoon of October 5.
