In a stunning upset, No. 17 Alabama defeated No. 5 Georgia 24–21 on Saturday night, snapping the Bulldogs’ 33-game home winning streak—the longest active streak in FBS. Quarterback Ty Simpson led the charge, throwing for 276 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for a score.
The Crimson Tide jumped to an early 14-point lead, showcasing a dynamic passing attack that caught Georgia off guard. Despite a late surge from the Bulldogs, Alabama’s defense held strong, securing the victory.
Head coach Kalen DeBoer emphasized the team’s resilience, stating, “You can either back yourself into a corner or you can fight. These guys chose to fight.”
This win not only boosts Alabama’s playoff hopes but also serves as a significant statement after their season-opening loss to Florida State.
