In a season of uncertainty, there seemed to be only one thing you could bank on — that impenetrable Georgia defense. It appeared the 2021 season would be the year where Georgia would race to a national championship on the strength of an all-time defense.
That was until they met Alabama in The SEC Championship Game. The Tide actually appeared mortal for once in 2021, only for Nick Saban to crack the code like only he can at the biggest moment. Alabama was able to exploit the Bulldogs defense over and over, running away with a 41-24 victory to secure yet another SEC Championship Game and most importantly — a playoff berth.
