Overview

• Ty Simpson passed for 276 yards with two touchdowns and a rushing score, executing Ryan Grubb’s plan that produced long, efficient first-half drives.
• Alabama converted 13 of 19 third downs while Georgia went 2 of 8, tilting possession and momentum.
• Georgia’s bid to tie or take the lead faltered on a fourth-and-1 run at the Alabama 8, compounded by a deep-ball drop and a Nate Frazier fumble.
• Kirby Smart credited Simpson’s quick decisions for neutralizing Georgia’s pass rush, as analysts flagged broader line-of-scrimmage and pass-rush depth concerns.
• The result moved Alabama to No. 10, left Smart 1–7 against the Tide, and set up next games against Vanderbilt for Alabama and Kentucky for Georgia.
