6. Georgia experienced a “little brother” moment with SEC rival Alabama
The Georgia Bulldogs (No. 8) thought they could intimidate SEC rival Alabama (No. 13) even before the first whistle. A minor scrum developed as the Crimson Tide, clad in white, ran onto the field. Some of the Georgia players started mouthing off and got a bit physical before the refs broke up the fray. And at first it appeared the tactic paid off.
Georgia appeared the more aggressive team in the first quarter until late in the first quarter when Alabama finally got three points on the board. From that moment on, the game was over. The Crimson Tide went on a 35-0 run, absolutely burying the Bulldogs in their own house.
This is more of a disaster for UGA than the "They are wearing black cause they're going to MFing funeral" game. #Bama

Alabama’s offense performed admirably. Quarterback Jake Coker was sharp and the running game, led by Derrick Henry, who had 148 yards and a touchdown on the ground, wore down Georgia’s normally rock-solid defense.
There is no doubt which team rules this rivalry after this 38-10Â blowout, as the Bulldogs were taught a lesson in humility, courtesy of the Crimson Tide.
The only real positive to come out of the contest for Georgia was Nick Chubb, who tied Herschel Walker’s all-time school record rushing for over 100 yards in 13 consecutive games. Chubb finished with 146 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries.
