Georgia record 1st regular season win over Alabama since 2007

Georgia’s football program ended a 16-year drought with a dramatic 20-17 victory over Alabama in Week 6, marking the Bulldogs’ first regular-season win over the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa since 2007. The triumph also delivered Kirby Smart’s first regular-season win against Alabama as head coach, while Alabama suffered its first loss of the season after both teams entered the game with identical 5-0 records and 3-0 SEC standings.

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton led the charge with 249 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, outdueling Alabama’s Keelon Russell, who finished with 185 yards and a touchdown but struggled against Georgia’s defense. The win strengthens Georgia’s national championship hopes and could push the Bulldogs into the top spot in Sunday’s AP Top 25 rankings, following their third victory in 11 meetings against Alabama, including past playoff and SEC title game wins.
