Alabama took a 21–0 lead in the first quarter, a lead that grew to 28–0 early in the second. Georgia came storming back thanks to a dominant defensive effort for (most) of the second half.

On the first snap of the ensuing offensive possession, Milroe saw freshman phenom wide receiver Ryan Williams facing 1-on-1 coverage to his right. He hit Williams before the defender turned around, and Williams did the rest, taking it 75 yards to put the Crimson Tide back on top.Georgia had one last chance to attempt to tie the game, but Alabama's Zabien Brown intercepted Beck in the end zone with 43 seconds to play to clinch the thrilling win for the Crimson Tide and spoil what would have been the largest comeback victory in school history for Georgia.Alabama's 41–34 victory overshadowed a weekend that included a controversial Friday night ending to No. 7 Miami's win over Virginia Tech and a Top 10 upset, as No. 6 Ole Miss fell at home to unranked Kentucky for the Wildcats' first victory in Oxford since 1978.Alabama's impressive home win has earned the Crimson Tide the top spot in Sports Illustrated's AP Top 25 projection for Week 6. <h2>The Projected Ranking</h2>1.
