No. 13 Alabama still a force, dominates No. 8 Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. -- With its season in the balance, No. 13 Alabama had quite a response on Saturday. The Crimson Tide are still very much a force in the national race. Jake Coker ran the offense to perfection, the defense turned in a dominating performance, and Alabama even got a touchdown from its special teams in a 38-10 rout of No. 8 Georgia . Alabama (4-1, 1-1 SEC) jumped ahead 24-3 by halftime and iced the victory on Georgia's first offensive play of the second half. Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass from the Bulldogs' second quarterback, Brice Ramsey , and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. After a discouraging, five-turnover loss to Ole Miss in their SEC opener two weeks ago, the Tide looked more like themselves on a rainy day between the hedges.
