Alabama did it again on Saturday night, getting the best of Georgia in a 24-21 victory in Athens. The Tide broke out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter, and held off the Bulldogs from there, thanks to some opportunistic plays defensively.
It wasn't a perfect game by any means for Alabama, but Kalen DeBoer's team responded to adversity on the road and finally pulled a tense one out. They showed the fight that Alabama fans had been begging for after a lifeless loss to Florida State in the opener. They proved that the wins over UL Monroe and Wisconsin weren't flukes, nor were they just beating up on inferior opponents.
