In one of the most electrifying finishes in recent SEC history, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe delivered a clutch touchdown pass in double overtime to seal a dramatic 38–35 win over Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs. The game, played at a packed Bryant-Denny Stadium, had fans on the edge of their seats from the opening whistle. Georgia led most of the second half until Milroe orchestrated a last-minute drive to tie the game and force overtime. After both teams traded touchdowns in the first OT, Alabama’s defense held firm in the second, setting up Milroe’s defining moment.
Facing a 3rd-and-9 from the 24-yard line, Milroe scrambled out of the pocket and launched a perfectly placed pass to Isaiah Bond in the back corner of the end zone. The stadium erupted. “That’s why we believe in Jalen,” Coach Kalen DeBoer said postgame. “He’s a leader, and he rises in the biggest moments.”
The win could have major implications for the College Football Playoff picture. Alabama now stands atop the SEC West and controls its destiny. For Milroe, it was a career-defining performance, finishing with 312 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and 68 rushing yards. Georgia, meanwhile, suffered its first loss in 19 games.
