ATHENS — Not all Georgia football fans are still buying in after a second-half collapse at Alabama on Saturday night, but the wisest ones will take note of promising futures.
The Bulldogs (3-1) fell to No. 4 in the polls on the heels of their 41-24 loss to the No. 2-ranked Crimson Tide (4-0) in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart accepted responsibility for the loss, saying he and his staff were out-coached by Nick Saban, who is now 22-0 against former assistants.
Alabama covered three Georgia turnovers into three touchdowns, including both of quarterback Stetson Bennett’s second-half interceptions.
While the Bulldogs continued searching for their offensive identity, the Tide focused in on its three star players. Data reveals 51 of 76 Alabama plays (67 percent) going to tailback Najee Harris (31 carries), DeVonta Smith (13 targets) or Jaylen Waddle (7 targets).
