Alabama Ends Georgia’s 33-Game Home Streak With 24–21 Win in Athens

Alabama flipped the script after the Florida State loss with superior situational execution.

Overview

  • Quarterback Ty Simpson went 24-of-38 for 276 yards with two touchdown passes and a rushing score as the Tide led wire to wire.
  • Alabama ran 77 plays to Georgia’s 53 and converted 13 of 19 third downs, including a late completion to Jam Miller to seal the game.
  • A designed screen to 366-pound tackle Kadyn Proctor gained 11 yards and set up a late‑half touchdown for a 24-14 advantage.
  • The Tide were flagged four times to Georgia’s six, the first game in Kalen DeBoer’s 17‑game tenure with fewer penalties than the opponent.
  • The victory moved Alabama to No. 10 in the AP poll and No. 11 in the Coaches Poll, with a ranked Vanderbilt visiting Tuscaloosa next as ESPN’s College GameDay comes to town.
