The Crimson Tide have defeated Georgia in four SEC championship games and a national championship in recent years.
Kirby Smart and Georgia did a lot of good things against Alabama. Unfortunately a few mistakes stand out as reasons Georgia was unable to topple the Crimson Tide. Georgia’s pass rush failed to pressure Jalen Milroe quickly with much frequency. The Georgia offense had a costly turnover inside its own red zone. Georgia had a season-high in penalties, including a false start before a missed field goal.
