One Georgia player ruined a massive opportunity vs Alabama

25 years. That's how long it has been since Alabama was shutout in a football game. Georgia had a golden opportunity in the SEC Championship game, stopping the Tide twice on third down in a crucial drive.

But, Demello Jones made not one, but two terrible penalties, resulting in a touchdown drive by Alabama. Georgia had a sack of Ty Simpson deep in Bama territory but Jones got an unsportsmanlike penalty for smacking a Tide player in the helmet. Kirby Smart clearly reamed him on the sidelines and Jones should have stayed there.
