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

On the very next offensive play, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe connected with freshman Ryan Williams for a 75-yard touchdown that will grace football highlights in both the near and distant future. From there, it was a two-point conversion that gave Alabama a lead it wouldn't relinquish.

It was a game for the books, with an ending that lived up to the huge hype the competition received leading up to it. While there is still a lot for the Crimson Tide to improve, such as leaving the field on fourth down (a struggle against Georgia) and perhaps establishing the run game more, a team would much rather deal with these issues after won the type of no-nonsense game the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs played on Saturday.

Next, Alabama will play its first road conference game, traveling to Nashville to face Vanderbilt in a game scheduled for the afternoon of October 5th.
