Georgia football instant observations, as Bulldogs once again fall to Alabama

ATLANTA —For Georgia, it was more of the same against Alabama. Despite being a favorite and having one of the best defenses in recent history, it didn’t change the final outcome.

Alabama rolled up 31 points on five straight drives in the second and third quarter before picking off Stetson Bennett twice to secure a 41-24 win. That’s the same score Alabama beat Georgia by last season when the two teams met. Bennett was also the quarterback that day for Georgia.

It’s the seventh-straight time Alabama has beaten Georgia dating back to 2007. Alabama coach Nick Saban is now 7-1 against Georgia since becoming the head coach of the Crimson Tide. Georgia is now 0-4 against Alabama with Kirby Smart as the head coach.

The loss is Georgia’s first of the season, dropping the Bulldogs to 12-1. It’s the third straight loss in the SEC championship game for the Bulldogs.

Georgia will now wait to learn its College Football Playoff fate. The Bulldogs were helped by an Oklahoma State loss earlier on Saturday, but will still wait to see if they make the playoff.
