College football scores, games, updates: Washington State at Boise State, Arizona at Utah and more
Posted on | Posted on angela

The biggest game of the season so far was a huge success.

No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, leading 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after exchanging the lead late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the victory with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams and a subsequent interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.

The 41-34 score capped an incredible day of college football — one that started early when Kentucky took on No. 6 Ole Miss in Oxford and stunned the Rebels 20-17 in a back-and-forth that ended with a failed field goal that would have made the equalizer possible.

Later in the day, No. 21 Oklahoma received a late pick 6 to set up a comeback win against Auburn and earn its first SEC victory. No. 16 Notre Dame also earned a decisive victory by holding off No. 15 Louisville, while No. 9 Penn State battled No. 19 Illinois at home and Colorado defeated UCF on the road.

Follow along below as Yahoo Sports breaks down all the remaining action tonight.

  • Final: Alabama 41, Georgia 34

    No. 4 Alabama wins an absolutely crazy game against No. 2 Georgia. Bama blew a 28-point lead but found a way to salvage it in the final minutes with a circus catch by Ryan Williams.

  • Touchdown Wazzu!

    Big response for Washington State, which opened the 4th quarter with a 36-yard TD pass from John Mateer to Kyle Williams.

    Reduces Boise State's lead to 24-1

  • UCLA pick 6!

    Just when it seemed like Oregon was going to slam the door on UCLA, Bryan Addison keeps the door open with a 96-yard pick-6 just before halftime.

    The Ducks lead 28-10 at halftime.

  • Boise State touchdown!

    Boise State takes advantage of a short field after stopping WSU on 4th down.

    Maddux Madsen threw to Matt Lauter, who ran the catch all the way to the end zone.

    Broncos are led by two touchdowns.

  • We're back from Wazzu-Boise in the second half and the Cougars had some positive momentum, but a deep sack simply killed it. They will pass it to the Broncos, who will take over at their own 10-yard line.

  • Oregon gets off to a fast start against UCLA

    The Ducks lead the Bruins 17-3 in the second quarter.

    This is Oregon's first Big Ten game, but against a very familiar opponent.

  • Halftime: Boise State 17, Washington State 10

    Things have been tight in Boise so far. Ashton Jeanty broke off a big early run, but things have been pretty quiet for the Broncos since then.

  • Alabama interception!

    Bama's Zabien Brown gets his 3rd INT in the end zone today against Georgia's Carson Beck and that should seal the win for the Crimson Tide!

  • Georgia converts on 4th-and-2 and has the ball at the Alabama 36-yard line.

    1:15 to play

  • We're at the 2-minute timeout. Everyone takes a breath.

  • ALABAMA RESPONDS WITH A TD!!

    This game is off the charts!

    Ryan Williams makes a 75-yard TD grab that might be the play of the year, and Bama is right back in front!

    Alabama 41, Georgia 34. 2:18 left.

  • Alabama fans go through this

  • TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA! Bulldogs lead!

    Dillon Bell gets behind the Bama defense for a 67-yard touchdown catch!

    Georgia rallied from a 28-point deficit to take the lead in Tuscaloosa! Incredible!

  • Georgia touchdown!

    Dillon Bell takes over from the 3 and it's suddenly a ball game in Tuscaloosa!

    Alabama's lead narrowed to 33-28 with 5:39 left.

  • Georgia threatens again

    Carson Beck completes two big passes and immediately brings the Bulldogs close to the goal line!

    This could be a one-score game right now 👀

  • Alabama's offense didn't do much in the 2nd half. And Georgia will get the ball back with just over seven minutes left in the game. Do the Bulldogs have a life here?

  • Final: Penn State 21, Illinois 7

    The Nittany Lions are strong at home and will improve to 4-0 on the season. They host UCLA next week before traveling to USC.

  • Georgia TD!

    This one isn't quite over yet. The Bulldogs reached the end zone on an 8-yard throw from Carson Beck to Lawson Luckie.

    A 2-point attempt is of no use.

    Alabama leads 33-21 with 9:55 to play.

  • Touchdown Penn State!

    That's enough for this one. Kaytron Allen just pushed his way into the end zone to essentially seal Happy Valley.

  • FUMBLE! Alabama ball

    Georgia QB Carson Beck has the ball deflected by Qua Russaw and Alabama's Jah-Marien Latham grabs it near midfield.

    Beck did it three times today and the Bulldogs are running out of chances to attempt a comeback.
