Overview

• No. 17 Alabama beat No. 5 Georgia 24–21 at Sanford Stadium, ending the Bulldogs’ 33-game home winning streak.
• Left tackle Kadyn Proctor split wide for a late‑second‑quarter lateral, rumbled 11 yards to the 2, and set up Ty Simpson’s 2-yard rushing touchdown.
• Coaches said the Proctor play was installed in camp, briefly shelved after a bad rep, then revived this week after practice catches boosted confidence.
• Simpson went 24-of-38 for 276 yards with two passing touchdowns and the short scoring run, including a late third‑down completion to Jam Miller to help close it out.
• Kirby Smart’s fourth‑and‑1 try in the red zone failed in the fourth quarter, a decision he defended postgame, while Alabama finished with fewer penalties (4 for 16) than Georgia (6 for 68) for the first time in DeBoer’s tenure.
