Two plays defined Georgia-Alabama, a football game where the Crimson Tide got off to a scorching start and the Bulldogs fought their way back in during the second half. Georgia seemed completely lost during the first half, going into the locker room at Bryant-Denny Stadium with a 30-7 deficit to Alabama.

No. 2 Georgia travels to No. 4 Alabama on Saturday evening for arguably the biggest game of the college football season to this point. The result from this clash of the titans will go a long way toward determining not only the final SEC standings but also the College Football Playoff race.

The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide jumped out to a 28–0 lead over the visiting No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs, then survived a furious comeback bid to escape with a thrilling 41–34 victory in an early candidate for college football's game of the year.
