The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and the fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide faced off Saturday in a rematch of last season's SEC Championship Game.

The first half was all Crimson Tide as they opened up a 30-7 lead. Georgia controlled the second half but was unable to erase the deficit and lost 41-34.
Let's take a deep dive into the box score and discuss how this game unfolded:
The Alabama Crimson Tide remain undefeated at 4-0 (1-0 SEC), while the Georgia Bulldogs slipped to 3-1 (1-1).
The main difference was turnovers. The Bulldogs committed four turnovers, with Beck throwing three interceptions.
After a dismal first half, the Georgia defense began to contain Jalen Milroe, limiting his rushing attempts while playing tighter coverage in the passing game. The Bulldogs erased a 23-point deficit and had the lead at 34-33 with 2:31 to go. However, the Crimson Tide scored on their next possession to regain the advantage.
