ATHENS, Ga. -- It was the 2008 “Blackout Game” all over again.

Alabama went back to Georgia seven years later with an attitude as if they’d never left. Players danced in front of the Red Coat band during pre-game warmups, jawing and taunting the home team, and then backed it up by dominating Mark Richt’s Bulldogs so thoroughly that many fans headed home by halftime.
