Georgia Bludgeons Alabama 28–7 to Win SEC Title, Bolster CFP Position

The Bulldogs strangled the run game to minus-3 yards and sacked Ty Simpson three times to seize control of the playoff race.

Overview

  • Alabama finished with minus-3 rushing yards on 16 attempts, just the second negative rushing total in program history.
  • Georgia's defense recorded three sacks, limited the Tide to 209 total yards, and held them to 3-of-14 on third down.
  • A first-quarter blocked punt set up the opening touchdown and Georgia later punctuated the result with a belt-trolling celebration led by Christen Miller.
  • The Bulldogs rushed for 141 yards and captured back-to-back SEC championships, positioning themselves for the No. 2 College Football Playoff seed and a quarterfinal bye.
  • Alabama played without roughly 10 contributors, including starting RB Jam Miller and multiple offensive linemen, and now projects around No. 9–10 near the playoff bubble.
