Alabama came out victorious Saturday over Georgia 41-34, but the real winners were the fans who got to watch the entire thing unfold.

The Crimson Tide blew a 28-0 lead and even trailed the Bulldogs 34-33 late in the fourth quarter at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

But one play after falling behind for the first time in the contest, Alabama’s Ryan Williams made an epic catch to score a go-ahead 75-yard touchdown. Georgia led for all of 13 seconds before relinquishing it immediately just a play later.

Fans on X all used the same four words to describe Saturday’s showdown between two SEC juggernauts: Game of the Year.

The Alabama-Georgia game had everything you could possibly ask for in an instant college football classic.

The contest featured two undefeated college football powerhouses. There was a huge breakout performance from Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. Then there was a massive comeback led by Georgia QB Carson Beck, who overcame a disappointing first half to bounce back in a big way.

Then there were the game’s final three minutes, which played out like the ending of a Hollywood film. The football gods couldn’t have scripted it any better.

Milroe went 27/33 for 374 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interceptions. He also rushed for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns on 16 carries. Beck finished 27/50 for 439 yards with 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

When Alabama went up 28-0, Nick Saban didn’t look to be in a celebratory mood at all . Perhaps the veteran coach knew everything could still unravel in a hurry — and that it did.
