Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 04:49 · Archive
No. 2 Georgia defeated No. 6 Alabama 20-17 on Saturday night in an SEC college football game.
No. 2 Georgia defeated No. 6 Alabama 20-17 on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, with running back Dwight Phillips Jr. rushing for 120 yards and Bo Walker adding 69 more. Georgia's Gunnar Stockton accounted for both of Georgia's touchdowns, one passing and another rushing, and completed 18 of 22 passes for 249 yards. The Bulldogs finished with 206 yards on the ground despite playing without leading rusher Nate Frazier.
The victory was Georgia's third win over Alabama in their last 11 meetings and first in the regular season since 2007. Georgia improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the SEC, whilst Alabama fell to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference. The result should vault Georgia to the top spot in the AP Top 25, following No. 1 Texas's loss to Oklahoma.
The game was decided in controversial fashion in the final minutes. Officials declined to flag what appeared to be a clear pass-interference penalty on Georgia safety JK Bolden, who then sacked Alabama's Keelon Russell on the next play, knocking the Crimson Tide out of field-goal range. A personal foul penalty on Georgia cornerback Dijon Lee allowed the Bulldogs to run out the clock.
