Before that, here are three takeaways from Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">Hot start<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"E3THWODSLRBKLMX4FGFOXTYINE\">As soon as the ball was kicked, Alabama came out firing. The Crimson Tide dominated all facets in the early going on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"X6JEOYDXMFC2XPD74X5FKUDLVA\">The Tide started with the ball and cruised down the field. Jalen Milroe scored on a 7-yard run to open the scoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SFFEHXNW5NFA5OPTXPTEBGYFWA\">Alabama\u2019s defense did its job, forcing a punt. Another touchdown quickly ensued, that one a perfect throw from Milroe to Jam Miller out of the backfield, on a play offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan drew up perfectly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"P4L7ZN6RIFEJPEBWF47Z2RMAXA\">By the time the Bulldogs finally got around to answering, Alabama was up 28-0. Not insurmountable, obviously, but certainly making things more difficult on UGA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"OFU6T63GGBB6DGB2QZDLQ7LKUE\">Milroe didn\u2019t even throw his first incompletion until 3:55 in the second quarter, a play that took video review to make certain Germie Bernard hadn\u2019t reeled it in.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">Swarm D<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"U77QUONNKFFTXPZECHZQTF4EUQ\">After the Crimson Tide\u2019s far-too-close performance against South Florida in Week 2, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack issued an ultimatum. Zero takeaways were unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"NUBNEGIHIBH3JBBNPJ6AGWQTHU\">Against Wisconsin, Alabama fixed the problem. For the Georgia game, the defense impressed even more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZM4JERSSUVFSPLKUTPDWMPKBCA\">Wommack\u2019s Crimson Tide defense got after Carson Beck, putting the UGA QB, one of the preseason frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy, on the ground and intercepting him multiple times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"WD3XBBUQXRFFNBR7UZL2ZCBKTY\">It wasn\u2019t perfect, obviously. Georgia took a late lead on the Tide, but UA\u2019s offense responded, and freshman DB Zabien Brown intercepted Beck late to end the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"N2AEJALSYFEXFCN6EF2BNVPQWU\">Things got a bit hairy toward the end, with the Crimson Tide offense also not putting up the numbers it did to begin the game. However, Wommack and company got the job done, against an offense that featured plenty of star power, clearly its toughest test of the season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">Still on top<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"WGIXSIXMCZCSBAMF7UAKSDZ4KQ\">Maybe the apocalypse was overblown. When Nick Saban retired, college football was Kirby Smart\u2019s to rule, the prevailing narrative went for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"MQPIZ7M6UZACDIX7Y7TD7QPCAE\">Alabama\u2019s win doesn\u2019t mean the dynasty isn\u2019t dead. In fact, with the new 12-team playoff, it means less than at any previous point in college football history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"AZ6FNHGCUNGVVJC366O6QLE5QA\">But what DeBoer and company showed Saturday was the ability to hang with anyone. The No. 1 (or No. 2 depending on your preferred poll) team in the nation came to Bryant-Denny Stadium and couldn\u2019t hang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"KJM6CFIGKRAFZMIOWXKWK36M3M\">The Crimson Tide passed a test. UA will surely rise when the AP media and coaches top 25 polls update on Sunday, moving a little bit closer to the top of the college football world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"N6TBICQ33RAEPCLAMZLGKRXRDM\">Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will need to do some soul searching. After the loss, predated by a lackluster performance at Kentucky, perhaps the Alabama dynasty isn\u2019t the one in imminent jeopardy.<\/p>\n<section class=\"Stories-By-Section-Tag-module_wrapper__69Ed7 Stories-By-Section-Tag-module_al__jY2oy\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al.com\/alabamafootball\/2024\/09\/3-takeaways-from-alabama-footballs-41-34-victory-vs-georgia.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kalen DeBoer\u2019s first SEC game as Alabama football\u2019s head coach is in the books.
