No. 2 Alabama scores 21 straight second-half points to beat No. 3 Georgia, 41-24

Georgia’s halftime lead against Alabama disappeared pretty quickly.

The No. 2 Crimson Tide capitalized on two second-half interceptions to score 21 straight points and turn a 24-20 deficit into a 41-24 lead in less than 10 minutes in its win over No. 3 Georgia.

DeVonta Smith, the man who caught the title-winning TD pass from Tua Tagovailoa in overtime of the 2018 national title game, had 10 catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns. That second score pushed Alabama’s lead to 17 points with less than 10 minutes to go and put the game out of reach for the Crimson Tide.
