– I remember seeing this in real time, so I looked at the stats. Carson Beck seemed to have enough time to act with his 50 ball throws. He was sacked three times while Alabama was only credited with two QB hurries. I thought that influencing Beck would be a big factor in the game and that the fact that he had time was crucial to the eventual comeback.

– Ryan Williams gains seven or eight extra yards on every catch thanks to his footwork (it seems). He's like a dancer out there with his footwork.

-It was interesting to see the TV version of Milroe's TD pass to Jam Miller that made it 14-0. The camera angle didn't do the throw justice, but our angle in the press box did. We were right on the throwing line that Milroe had to throw so far in front of the RB to get around the pursuing linebacker. The thing flew through a window barely bigger than the ball and nearly kissed the LB's helmet before landing in Miller's breadbasket. I thought you could argue that this was one of Milroe's best throws at Alabama, and that Miller made it as a RB rather than a WR was even more impressive.

– The third-down play on the following Georgia drive was one of the most important in the game. The crowds also played a role here. Down at the end of the Alabama student section, Beck tried to change the call on the line because Alabama had more pass rushers than blockers. “Well, the WRs didn’t get the message,” Kirby Smart said after the game. Alabama DB Domani Jackson had the edge the entire time and jumped in for a game-changing INT. The Tide had the shortest pitch of the game and conceded. Suddenly it was 21-0 and the first quarter wasn't even over yet.

– Alabama CJ Dippre had an impressive pass-catching game where he served almost primarily as a blocker. He had four receptions for 38 yards.

– The most surprising thing to me early in the second quarter was the tricks Alabama tried. It was all about destroying the Dawgs in traditional fashion before trying two tricks in three games. The first was stopped for a one-yard loss on a WR pass that Kendrick Law eventually recovered.

– Alabama’s fourth touchdown was a message. Jam Miller took off LB Jalon Walker's helmet as Milroe somehow turned a corner and charged upfield for the 36-yard score. This behind-the-scenes piece was the subject of the first few paragraphs of a column that never saw the light of day. The way the game changed meant that lede had to be scrapped, but here's what you would have seen:

Jalon Walker knelt in the dark, helmet off, looking stunned.

The lights of Bryant-Denny Stadium flashed as the seating bowl pulsated, perhaps the most breathtaking moment in an amazing night at the center of the universe.

The Georgia linebacker had just been separated from his headgear when Alabama QB Jalen Milroe made a cut and charged downfield. His 36-yard run gave the Crimson Tide a fourth touchdown in four possessions, but it was the Bulldog backer's helmet-rattling block that added insult to injury.

– Alabama had a 258-27 yardage gain after taking a 28-0 lead, which was clearly the best it could be for the home team. The Tide ultimately finished with a narrow lead (547-519).

– There was major whiplash when Alabama was stuffed on fourth down late in the half, immediately followed by Beck's second INT of the half thrown to LB Jihaad Campbell. He made an impressive play with the ball for a linebacker, but that was lost when Dippre hit a Milroe pass into the air in the first INT of the year (compared to 10 touchdowns).

– Was impressed by Alabama's sellout blitz that led to the safety's intentional grounding three plays after the INT. They sent EIGHT pass rushers at Beck. Robinson and Koht cornered the QB because Georgia simply didn't have enough blockers to stop eight blitzers.

– I completely forgot about the failed flea attack late in the half when Alabama took a 30-7 lead before halftime. It lost eight yards on 2nd-and-5 from the 40. The Tide finally stumbled as there was blood in the water.

– I can only imagine how Saban would have handled an unsportsmanlike penalty after halftime like the one Alabama got with a dust-up before halftime.

– I remember thinking Beck’s third-down sack on the first drive of the second half was huge. It forced a three-pointer when Georgia desperately needed momentum.

We will continue to update this until the tape ends. Update for more.
