Kevin C. Cox

ATLANTA — The Godzilla unit of the whole national college football season, Georgia’s defense, underwent an attack so outrageous Saturday that all the understanding accrued across three months seemed to go kaput in hours. Somehow, an Alabama offense had gone from stagecoach to spaceship in seven days, and somehow, from the second quarter forward, the defense of the year and maybe even of the ages began to look misshapen, distorted and maybe even winded.

The No. 1 Bulldogs would finish the SEC championship game with one of the odder phrases possible: upset by Alabama. The 41-24 pasting in front of 78,030 goggle-eyed witnesses would become the seventh straight Georgia loss to Alabama dotting the last 14 seasons among neighbors who seldom meet. It would plunk <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/12/03/nick-saban-assistants-kirby-smart/" target=_blank>Georgia Coach Kirby Smart to 0-4 against his former boss, Alabama Coach Nick Saban</a>, after multitudes woke up figuring Saturday the last day of that schneid. It might make the Georgia fans, who filed into Mercedes-Benz Stadium with something north of hope, wonder: If not now, when?

Well, maybe in a few weeks, if they can stomach the thought.

While No. 3 Alabama (12-1) certainly qualified for its seventh College Football Playoff in the eight seasons of the four-team concept, and its brilliant Californian quarterback, Bryce Young, almost certainly qualified for Alabama’s third Heisman Trophy in that span, college football intellectuals figure there’ll be a space also for Georgia (12-1), even after its defense spent a day looking like somebody else’s defense.

It had given up a puny 229.7 yards per game across 12 games.

Here, it gave up 41 percent of that, discounting a late interception return for a touchdown.

“It didn’t do any damage” to the Georgia psyche, Smart said thereafter. “What it did was reinvigorate our energy. It re-centers you.” He said he told his players, an entrenched and unanimous No. 1, “I love ’em and I appreciate ’em, and you know, the outside noise begins now.”

Alabama knew such noise already, in the form of mass harrumphs at its imperfections which had been more imperfect than usual, mostly from its lavishly privileged fans. So before he thanked the media in general, Saban got the chance at a one-liner, which he nailed: “You guys gave us a lot of really positive rat poison (meaning derision). The rat poison that you usually give us (flattery) is usually fatal. But the rat poison you gave us this week was yummy.”

The whole jarring onslaught of it, done with a so-so rushing game, helped Alabama zoom from 10-0 behind to 31-17 ahead, and it came just seven days after the Crimson Tide had looked near-stagnant down the road at Auburn through almost the entirety of regulation time, which ended 10-10. “I think sometimes when you start a game,” Saban said, “the speed of the game gets you a little bit,” what with practices unable to simulate the Georgia defense, but then “once you sort of get used to the speed of the game, you start operating a little bit better.”

Young went 26 for 44 for 421 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions, amassing 461 total yards, an event record. Wideouts, long an Alabama specialty, zigzagged madly. Jameson Williams, so fast he can seem to produce contrails, caught seven passes for 184 yards, and John Metchie III caught six for 97 before sustaining a knee injury. Eight Alabama residents caught passes. The offensive line, doubted since its muddled venture to Auburn, allowed zero sacks and an inconsequential four tackles for loss to a frightening front seven, such that Young extolled that line and said, “I think they just kept hearing it [criticism] and hearing it.”

By the way, the day had begun as a Georgia moment in a Georgia season. A contagious bravado filled the air as Georgians filed into the stadium. The two reds, so close to each other in the Pantone scheme, made the indoors into another lower-case red sea.

All seemed predictably Georgian up to a point, and that point came four seconds into the second quarter. When 6-foot-7 tight end Darnell Washington reached up to pluck a five-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett for a 10-0 lead, the Bulldogs had just gone 97 yards in eight plays, their long path downright utopian.

Todd Kirkland

Bennett had thrown six passes, completed six passes, completed them to six people — to three wide receivers, two tight ends and a running back. He had completed them to Ladd McConkey, Jermaine Burton, Zamir White, John Fitzpatrick, George Pickens and Washington — two guys from Georgia and one each from California, North Carolina, Alabama and, just for show, Las Vegas (the touchdown).

It looked precisely as drives should look, and it looked precisely as Georgia’s season had looked: airtight.

By then, one might have wondered: Can Alabama be blanked?

On third and three, Young backed up from his own 33, looked a bit left and then back a bit right toward Williams, who ran alone between the hash marks at the 47. “We had a couple of busts,” Smart said. Williams caught it, headed left, reached the left sideline and kept gathering speed when that seemed improbable.

Perspective: Brian Kelly’s in love again. And this time it’s for real.

The 67-yard touchdown that made the score 10-7 didn’t change everything by itself, but a good lawyer could make a case that it did. Suddenly, a Georgia defense that came about as close to impermeable developed the bad kind of holiness: 24 points and 319 yards in the second quarter.

Young, masterful, guided Alabama 80 yards on six plays for a 14-10 lead, 79 yards in 12 plays for a 17-10 lead, 75 yards in nine plays for a 24-17 lead and, after halftime, 75 yards in five plays for a 31-17 lead. He threw pinpoint passes such as the 13-yard touchdown to Metchie that made it 14-10. He found receivers suddenly so alone it looked like they’d just stepped in off the sideline. He scrambled some, with moves worth the outrageous ticket prices. He even scrambled briefly once out of a thicket before pitching smartly to Brian Robinson Jr. for a 13-yard gain.

By the time that electrifying transfer from Ohio State, Williams, ran behind two Georgia defenders up the right side just after halftime to collect a 55-yard touchdown bomb, a feast for the eyes and that 31-17 lead, the game had become very much about Young rather than about the Georgia defense. It looked like Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, the former Houston Texans coach, had emerged from his laboratory, his eyes Auburn-bleary, but a solution in hand.

It went all the way to Young chewing clock with grinding plays in the fourth quarter, then saying, “I’m super-excited,” as people often do when bound for New York.

2021 SEC Championship - Georgia v Alabama

Bryce Young connected with Jameson Williams on two long scoring tosses as No. 3 Alabama shredded Georgia’s top-ranked defense to upset the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game, 41-24.

A defensive unit that looked impenetrable through most of this season surrendered the lead in the second quarter and never got it back, as the Crimson Tide mounted a 17-point lead against a team that hadn’t surrendered more than 17 points this season.

Young bolstered his Heisman Trophy bid, throwing for 421 yards and three touchdowns and adding 40 yards and a score on the ground. Williams caught seven passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns, and Alabama racked up 536 yards of offense against Georgia’s vaunted defense.

Glynn A. Hill

Will Reichard padded Alabama’s lead with a 41-yard field goal, finishing a 12-play, 62-yard drive that took 5:09 off the clock. (Alabama 41, Georgia 24 with 1:27 left in the fourth quarter)

Cincinnati strengthened its case for a place in the College Football Playoff on Saturday, beating Houston, 35-20, in the American Athletic Conference championship game to remain undefeated.

The result comes as Alabama drives on the Georgia defense, bleeding the clock below two minutes with a 38-24 lead.

Brock Bowers shed three defenders on the way to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett. (Alabama 38, Georgia 24 with 9:42 left in the fourth quarter)

Jordan Battle intercepted Stetson Bennett and returned it 40 yards for a score, extending Alabama’s lead late in the game. (Alabama 38, Georgia 17 with 11:59 left in the fourth quarter)

Georgia’s offense drove deep into Alabama territory on each of its past two drives but failed to come away with points on both.

A DeMarcco Hellams interception ended the first drive at the Alabama 19. Trailing by 14, Georgia attempted to convert a fourth and nine from the same spot on its next possession but failed as the quarter expired. (Alabama 31, Georgia 17 with 13:22 left in the fourth quarter)

Georgia trailed for 20 minutes all season before the start of Saturday’s SEC championship, largely thanks to a dominant defense that held teams to an absurd 6.9 points and 229.7 yards per game.

The Bulldogs found themselves behind for most of the second quarter, and their struggles against Alabama quarterback Bryce Young and receiver Jameson Williams have continued into the third quarter.

Alabama’s 24 first-half points are more than any team scored against Georgia in a game this season. The Crimson Tide’s 365 first-half yards also dwarfed the Bulldogs’ season average.

After defensive back DeMarcco Hellams, a former DeMatha Catholic High standout, intercepted Stetson Bennett halfway through the third quarter, the Crimson Tide has a chance to add to its offensive total, which is already nearing 450 yards. (Alabama 31, Georgia 17 with 5:47 left in the third quarter)

Young continued to carve up the Georgia secondary with his third touchdown pass of the game, a 55-yard pass to Jameson Williams to give Alabama a 31-17 lead. Young has 350 yards early in the third quarter against the top defense in the country.

Williams has six catches for 176 yards and two scores, the second of which came after fellow receiver John Metchie III was ruled out with a leg injury. (Alabama 31, Georgia 17 with 13:10 left in the third quarter)

Baylor safety Jairon McVea burst toward Oklahoma State running back Dezmon Jackson on a fourth down play with 24 seconds remaining in the Big 12 championship game, giving desperate pursuit as Jackson bounced his run to the outside and raced the safety to the pylon.

McVea closed, Jackson dove and the latter came up short as the No. 5 Cowboys turned the ball over on downs, surrendering the conference title and relinquishing a potential place in the College Football Playoff after a 21-16 defeat.

Elsewhere, No. 4 Cincinnati leads No. 21 Houston, 14-13, at halftime of the American Athletic Conference championship, with a spot in the top four on the line for the Bearcats. No. 2 Michigan will face No. 13 Iowa in the Big Ten title game Saturday night.

Bryce Young added to his touchdown total, tallying a rushing score after he plunged into the end zone with 26 seconds left in the half. Alabama leads Georgia, 24-17, at the break.

(Alabama 24, Georgia 17 at the half)

Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey secured a screen pass, darted inside, broke a tackle and raced into the end zone, where he promptly took a bow. He leveled the score at 17-17 with about two minutes remaining in the first half.

Alabama’s Bryce Young and Georgia’s Stetson Bennett have each thrown two touchdown passes.

(Alabama 17, Georgia 17 with 2:06 left in the second quarter)

Will Reichard snuck his 33-yard attempt inside the post to add three to the Crimson Tide’s 17-10 second-quarter lead. It capped a 12-play, 79-yard drive. (Alabama 17, Georgia 10 with 3:28 left in the second quarter)

Alabama’s offensive line gave Bryce Young ample time to deliver a 13-yard touchdown strike to John Metchie III, giving Alabama its first lead of the game.

(Alabama 14, Georgia 10 with 9:46 left in the second quarter)

Alabama receiver Jameson Williams found acres of space in Georgia’s secondary before catching a timely pass from Bryce Young, hitting another gear as he torched the Bulldogs’ defense for a 67-yard touchdown.

That’s his 14th touchdown for the Crimson Tide this season. (Georgia 10, Alabama 7 with 14:12 left in the second quarter)

Georgia receiver George Pickens, playing in just his second game of the season after suffering a torn ACL in March, reeled in a 37-yard catch from Stetson Bennett to push the Bulldogs to the Alabama 8-yard line at the end of the first quarter.

After a short Zamir White run, 6-foot-7 tight end Darnell Washington caught a jump ball from Bennett in the end zone to give Georgia a 10-0 lead. 

(Georgia 10, Alabama 0 with 14:56 left in the second quarter)

Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner sacked Stetson Bennett on third and three, halting a promising Bulldogs drive 11 yards from the end zone, and forcing Jack Podlesny’s 38-yard field goal. (Georgia 3, Alabama 0 with 6:01 left in the first quarter)

Georgia advanced into Alabama territory before its opening drive ended with a short punt. 

Following an 18-yard pass from Bryce Young to Jameson Williams on its opening offensive play, Alabama’s attack stalled three plays later. (Georgia 0, Alabama 0 with 11:00 left in the first quarter)

The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/11/30/college-football-playoff-rankings-fifth-poll/?itid=lk_inline_manual_104" target=_blank>College Football Playoff selection committee</a> will announce on Sunday the four teams that will compete for a national championship. Here’s where things stand for Georgia and Alabama as Saturday’s game is about to kick off:

The Bulldogs have buried foe after foe with an unyielding defense, one that is allowing the fewest points (6.9) and yards (230.8) per game. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/09/04/clemson-georgia-live-updates-college-football/?itid=lk_inline_manual_18&itid=lk_inline_manual_107">They’ve throttled everyone in their path besides Clemson</a>, and even then they gave up only a fourth-quarter field goal in a 10-3 victory. They are the consensus No. 1 at this point, and beating Alabama would only further validate that assessment.

Should Georgia lose to the Crimson Tide … well, it will have lost to a fellow playoff team on a neutral field. Everyone else (<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/11/25/cincinnati-football-college-football-playoffs/?itid=lk_inline_manual_108" target=_blank>besides Cincinnati</a>) has taken a tumble, and one bad day — even one really bad day — is unlikely to dislodge the Bulldogs from a semifinal slot.

Seems pretty straightforward for the Crimson Tide: Beat Georgia, earn a semifinal slot. Alabama would have a conference title, just one loss and the best victory on the board. It probably would be enough for the No. 1 seed.

As for the alternative, well, it would probably be a ticket to the Sugar Bowl.

This is not a virtually <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/01/11/alabama-ohio-state-national-championship-score-live-updates/?itid=lk_inline_manual_26&itid=lk_inline_manual_113">invulnerable Nick Saban juggernaut like last year’s team</a>. Not only is there a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/10/09/college-football-winners-losers-week-6/?itid=lk_inline_manual_26&itid=lk_inline_manual_113">three-point loss to 8-4 Texas A&amp;M</a> on the ledger, but Alabama also had one-possession victories over <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/11/27/college-football-winners-losers-week-13/?itid=lk_inline_manual_26&itid=lk_inline_manual_113">Auburn</a> (6-6), <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/09/18/alabama-florida-score-live-updates/?itid=lk_inline_manual_26&itid=lk_inline_manual_113">Florida</a> (6-6) and LSU (6-6). All of which is to say no one should think simply keeping it close against Georgia will be enough to get the Crimson Tide into the semifinals.

It’s best to think of this as Alabama’s playoff quarterfinal.

ATLANTA — Once a rollicking Monday night had drifted past midnight into Tuesday, the human minds that occupied Mercedes-Benz Stadium began processing the feast of whiplash shifts they had both played and witnessed. The processing could prove painstaking. In this latest, dazzling College Football Playoff national championship game, Alabama's 26-23 overtime win over Georgia came stuffed with enough hairpin turns to wreak decades of discussion.

Alabama seemed imperiled, its offense barely budging as Georgia led 13-0 at halftime. Georgia seemed challenged as Alabama pulled to 13-7. Alabama seemed doomed as Georgia quickly stretched out to 20-7 with an 80-yard touchdown pass that looked magical enough to last for decades. Georgia seemed beaten as Alabama lined up for a 36-yard field goal on the last play of regulation.

In short, everything that seemed, ultimately wasn’t, all the way to that final goose bump of a play, when Alabama seemed trapped, 41 yards from the end zone on a second down and 26, until somehow, on the 148th offensive play of this highbrow match of cave-man football, a receiver boomed free up the left sideline.

“I could not believe it,” Alabama Coach Nick Saban said.

“When the ball was in the air,” this freshman, DeVonta Smith, said, “I was like, ‘This is it right here.’”

Georgia v Georgia Tech

When Kirby Smart followed his boss, Nick Saban, to the University of Alabama, the young assistant had a modest football coaching résumé. He had recently turned 31, with only two seasons as a position coach at Power Five conference schools and another year in the NFL. He was an enthusiastic teacher who connected with his players, and for years, he stuck by Saban’s side.

In Smart’s second season with the Crimson Tide, Saban promoted him to defensive coordinator. He stayed in that role from 2008 to 2015, forging one of the longest tenures of any Alabama assistant under Saban. As most of the staff shuffled around him, Smart won four national titles at Alabama, becoming an attractive candidate for head coaching positions. He trusted he could develop more as a coach at Alabama, and specifically under Saban, than he could elsewhere. So he waited — until his alma mater called.

The University of Georgia needed a new coach after firing Mark Richt, who led the program for 15 years and averaged nearly 10 wins per season. The Bulldogs wanted to take that “next step,” then-athletic director Greg McGarity said. The school looked for someone who “understood the specific ingredients necessary to excel” at this level, McGarity said at the time. And Smart, the former Georgia defensive back with experience winning titles at Alabama, fit that mold.

Long ago, on the first play of an overtime, Matthew Stafford threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mikey Henderson. It went up the left side of the field. Henderson caught it over the shoulder and in a Tuscaloosa end zone. Georgia beat Alabama, 26-23, on Sept. 22, 2007.

What has followed is a deluge considerable enough that it hovers over this latest Alabama-Georgia matchup in the SEC championship game, even in this year of Georgia rule over the football charts. Stafford-to-Henderson has receded into the past beneath six subsequent Alabama wins, three of them carrying the agony of almost — two in SEC championship games, one in a national championship game, all in downtown Atlanta.

Georgia (12-0) enters as everybody’s No. 1. But Alabama … Georgia has one of the best defenses in college football history, yielding a puny 83 points in 12 games. But Alabama … Georgia has rarefied esprit de corps. But Alabama . . . Alabama (11-1) enters as an <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32746421/alabama-92-game-streak-favorite-set-end-crimson-tide-head-sec-championship-game-underdogs-no-1-georgia" target=_blank>underdog for the first time since 2015</a>. But Alabama …

So trampled have gone memories of Stafford-to-Henderson that the Crimson Tide even got its own 26-23 overtime win in the series, in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nick-saban-makes-a-gutsy-call-and-tua-tagovailoa-does-the-rest-for-alabama/2018/01/09/f085bff6-f49f-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_136" target=_blank>the 2017-18 national championship game</a> in Atlanta. It had a 23-20 deficit in overtime, like Georgia in 2007, and threw a winning touchdown pass up the left side of the field, like Georgia in 2007, only with Tua Tagovailoa’s forever 41-yard pass to DeVonta Smith. That’s some uncanny erasure.

In the excruciating postseason meetings among the six losses, Georgia has had leads of 21-10 in the third quarter (2012 SEC championship game), 20-7 in the third quarter (2017-18 national championship game) and 28-14 in the third quarter (2018 SEC championship game).

It has gone 0-3 in those games, the kind of legacy that can hover, no matter the circumstances.
