ESPN RECAP

Milroe-to-Williams TD connection helps No. 4 Alabama beat No. 2 Georgia 41-34 in DeBoer's SEC opener

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- , Georgia and Alabama, Jalen Milroe and Carson Beck , put on quite a show even with a different Crimson Tide coach prowling the sideline. Ryan Williams caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Milroe with 2:18 left and No. 4 Alabama beat No. 2 Georgia 41-34 on Saturday night in a wild Southeastern Conference debut for Tide coach Kalen DeBoer. Then, Alabama's other freshman sporting a No. 2 jersey, defensive back Zabien Brown , intercepted Carson Beck's pass in the end zone to secure the victory. “We pushed each other to the very end,” DeBoer said. That's no surprise with two teams that have battled for SEC and even national supremacy almost annually. It was DeBoer’s initiation into a captivating rivalry of SEC powers that added another memorable chapter, even without Nick Saban on the sideline opposite protege Kirby Smart of Georgia.
