The Crimson Tide relied on scorching hot shooting to build a 22-point second half lead on Georgia State, only to watch it crumble. Sudden cold shooting and sloppy play allowed the Panthers to claw their way back into the game and claim an 83-80 victory on a last-second three pointer.

Alabama defense slows Georgia in fourth quarter

Cody Estremera, Sports Editor December 1, 2018
First-and-10 with three seconds left. This is what the game came down to between Alabama and Georgia. The Bulldogs had dominated the first three quarters, but the Crimson Tide had mounted a comeback and had taken the lead. On Alabama’s 39-yard line, sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm took the snap and lofted a pass into the back right corner of Alabama’s end zone towards a hoard of Alabama and Georgia players.

Keaton Anderson may have expanded role against Georgia

James Ogletree, Staff Writer November 30, 2018
Senior Jared Mayden, who is typically one of Alabama’s two safeties when it shifts into its dime defense (six defensive backs), was ejected from last Saturday’s Iron Bowl for targeting. Since the foul occurred in the second half, Mayden also must sit out the first half against Georgia. Enter Anderson, who despite limited publicity has received four Player of the Week awards from Alabama’s coaches over the last two seasons (three on special teams and one on defense). That’s tied with Isaiah Buggs’ total and more than Raekwon Davis’. He was also a three-time Special Teams Player of the Week in 2016.
