On the alleged unbeatable Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide, as the honorable Lee Corso might say, “Not so fast, my friends.”
In arguably their worst outing in three years, Kirby Smart’s crew slogged to a 26–22 win over Missouri in a game in which it took its first lead with four minutes, three seconds left. The Bulldogs trailed 16–3 in the second quarter, 19–9 in the third and 22–12 in the fourth before mounting their comeback in Columbia.
And as for Alabama, its Heisman Trophy-winning starting quarterback, Bryce Young, suffered a shoulder sprain, and its defense allowed 23 consecutive points. While its game against Arkansas turned into a rout (49–26) this was anything but.
