Georgia went to Tuscaloosa and defeated Alabama on Saturday, marking the program's first regular-season victory over the Crimson Tide since 2007. Per Yahoo Sports and Dawg Sports, the win carries particular weight given the historical drought—Georgia's last victory over Alabama anywhere came in that same 2007 season. Both outlets note that officiating drew scrutiny during the game, though they focus primarily on how Georgia's third-quarter performance secured the result.
