Overview

• Alabama beat Georgia 24-21 in Athens to snap the Bulldogs’ 33-game home run, powered by Ty Simpson’s 276 passing yards, two touchdown throws and a rushing score.
• The defeat moved Georgia down seven places to No. 12 in the AP Top 25, while Alabama climbed to No. 10.
• Kirby Smart fell to 1-7 against the Crimson Tide as Georgia trailed 17-7 in the first half and never took the lead.
• Georgia converted just 2 of 8 third downs and was hurt by a Nate Frazier fumble, a deep-ball drop, and a failed fourth-and-1 call at Alabama’s 8-yard line.
• Nick Saban declined to critique Smart and said Georgia remains a contender, as the Bulldogs turn to a home game against Kentucky on Saturday.
