• Much like many of his teammates, Alabama cornerback Ga'Quincy McKinstry is selling his own t-shirt.

One of Alabama’s biggest contributors from the 2020 class Ga’Quincy McKinstry is in the ‘signature’ shirt game with @BreakingT too.

December 1, 2012: Quarterback AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and No. 2 Alabama barely held to defeat No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in the SEC Championship Game.

Eddie Lacy had 181 rushing yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns, while T.J Yeldon had 153 yards on 25 attempts and one score at the Georgia Dome.
