Summary
17-17 with 10:47 left, Georgia survived a near-disaster when Sacovie White-Helton muffed an Alabama punt but recovered at the Bulldogs' 11-yard line.
39 yards was the missed chance that kept it level: Georgia kicker Peyton Woodring pushed a go-ahead field-goal attempt wide early in the fourth after the Bulldogs drove inside Alabama territory.
Keelon Russell helped Alabama answer and stay even, scrambling 22 yards on third-and-short before the Tide stalled at the Georgia 43 and faced fourth-and-4.
278-277 in total yards and one turnover apiece underscored how even the game had been, with No. 2 Georgia and No. 6 Alabama trading blows in Tuscaloosa.
