Simply put, you could not have scripted a better start than what was a reality for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Taking the ball to start the game, Alabama marched right down the field to score an early touchdown via a Jalen Milroe run, and then followed that up by forcing a Georgia punt. Once the Crimson Tide got the ball back, Alabama then marched down the field once again, with Milroe throwing a touchdown pass to Jam Miller to take an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
Shortly after, Domani Jackson intercepted a Carson Beck pass, with the Crimson Tide capitalizing immediately via a Germie Bernard rushing touchdown to lead 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The first touchdowns scored against Georgia so far this season, here is how fans reacted on social media:

If that first quarter could be described in a play, it just might be this. #Alabama pic.twitter.com/DAvpPY72fQ

Georgia allowed 21 points *combined* in their previous four games dating back to last season.
Alabama has put up 21 in the first quarter.
