## How it turned

Georgia Bulldogs grabbed the early lead on a Peyton Woodring 43-yard field goal in the first quarter, and led 3-0 at the end of that frame.

Alabama Crimson Tide flipped it in the second quarter. London Humphreys caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from [Gunner Stockton](https://profootballnewshub.com/ncaa/players/gunner-stockton) to put Georgia up 10-0, but Alabama answered fast: Marshall Pritchett hauled in a 22-yard touchdown from [Keelon Russell](https://profootballnewshub.com/ncaa/players/keelon-russell), then EJ Crowell punched in a 1-yard touchdown run right before halftime. That stretch gave Alabama a 14-10 lead at the break.

The third quarter was even. Gunner Stockton ran one in from 14 yards to put Georgia back on top, but Conor Talty answered with a 39-yard field goal for Alabama, and the quarter ended tied at 17-17.

Georgia got the last word. Peyton Woodring hit a 23-yard field goal with 5:25 left in the fourth quarter, and that was the final scoring play. Georgia led 20-17 at the end of regulation and that's how it finished.
