Bama blows 28-0 lead, escapes UGA on late TD

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama blew a 28-point lead against No. 2 Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.

And then the No. 4 Crimson Tide broke the Bulldogs' hearts again in a 41-34 victory in which the SEC heavyweights scored touchdowns on consecutive plays from scrimmage late in the fourth quarter.

Alabama didn't seal the victory until cornerback Zabien Brown intercepted quarterback Carson Beck's pass to receiver Colbie Young in the end zone with 43 seconds left to end Georgia's furious rally.

After the Bulldogs rallied from a 23-point deficit at halftime, they took their first lead on Beck's 67-yard touchdown to Dillon Bell to make it 34-33 with 2:31 to go.

But Alabama scored on its very next play from scrimmage. On first-and-10 from the Crimson Tide 25, quarterback Jalen Milroe threw a deep ball down the right sideline for freshman Ryan Williams. The receiver spun out of cornerback Julian Humphrey's tackle at the 8-yard line and beat safety KJ Bolden for a 75-yard touchdown with 2:18 remaining. Milroe threw a 2-point conversion pass to receiver Germie Bernard to give Alabama a 41-34 lead.

Milroe completed 27 of 33 passes for 374 yards with two touchdowns and ran for 117 yards with two scores. He is the first player in FBS history with 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns against an AP top-five opponent, according to ESPN Research.

Williams, a 17-year-old freshman, had six catches for 177 yards with one score.

Beck recovered from a slow start to complete 27 of 50 passes for 439 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He also lost a fumble and was sacked three times.

The loss ended Georgia's 42-game winning streak in the regular season, which was the longest streak by an FBS team since Oklahoma won 45 in a row from 1953 to 1957. It also snapped Georgia's 16-game winning streak on the road.

It was new Tide coach Kalen DeBoer's first meeting with Georgia -- but the results were the same for Alabama. It has won nine of its past 10 games against Georgia, including a 27-24 victory in last year's SEC championship game, which led to the Bulldogs failing to make the College Football Playoff.
