The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia Bulldogs for a sixth time in a row on Saturday night. The series has been frustrating for Georgia fans who feel like they can’t catch a break versus the Crimson Tide.
Georgia lost 41-24 and blew yet another halftime lead against Alabama. Stetson Bennett threw three interceptions, struggled with battled down passes, and provided a few big plays, but failed to have consistent good ball placement.
Georgia is now 3-1, while Alabama moves to 4-0 and is the only remaining undefeated team in the SEC. Georgia will have a small margin of error for the rest of the season. The Bulldogs can’t afford to lose another game and expect to make the College Football Playoff. Georgia has a bye week upcoming.
Mac Jones, Nick Saban and the Alabama offense deserve some serious credit. They played efficiently all night and blocked Georgia’s pass rush well. The UGA defense was shredded by big plays from DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle.
Georgia football Twitter was not pleased with another defeat at the hands of Alabama:
This is the 6th game against Georgia in a row in which Alabama has led at the end of the game.

Very Hard to be elite in CFB these days without hitting home runs. Must Haves include pass catchers who can separate and win. And no one is more elite at that right now than @AlabamaFTBL . UGA trying in vain to match it. Tide D settling down after half.

For the third straight time, Georgia blows a halftime lead vs. Alabama.

The fact that JT Daniels isn’t playing right now should tell you a lot about his health, IMO.

It is very clear that DeVonta Smith is the alpha tonight. @AlabamaFTBL up 24-40.
