Alabama Crimson Tide

ATLANTA — For the second time in the 2025 college football season — and the fifth time in SEC Championship Game history — Alabama will meet Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with playoff stakes, bragging rights and a trophy on the line.

The No. 9 Crimson Tide and No. 3 Bulldogs met in late September in Athens, where Alabama jumped out to a 10-point halftime lead before creeping past Kirby Smart’s group for a 24–21 win. Since then, Georgia’s gone unbeaten, and Alabama’s taken a loss to SEC foe Oklahoma.

Georgia will close the day as a 1.5-point betting favorite, but Alabama was an underdog in the first matchup this fall, has won nine of the past 10 and remains undefeated against the Bulldogs in SEC Championship games.

Live Updates

Second Quarter:

1H stats
1H stats | Statbroadcast
  • Alabama runs into the locker room after being shut out in the first half for the first time since the 2021 Iron Bowl vs Auburn.
  • Ty Simpson got rocked on a completion to Marshall Pritchett and was slightly slow to get up.
  • Gunner Stockton got pretty hard after throwing the ball on third-and-8, and the crowd wanted an intentional grounding call. Another hold for Alabama's defense, who will kneel it out and go into halftime.
  • Josh McCray powers forward for a first down on fourth-and-1 at midfield.
  • 3:59 1Q: Alabama's offense once again goes three-and-out, this time it's Daniel Hill dropping a swing pass with defenders in the area. Brutal for Alabama as they need to continue to lean on their defense to keep them within striking distance.
  • 5:24 2Q: Alabama's defense gets off the field courtesy of a Gunner Stockton overthrow. Alabama's offense needs points here.
  • Georgia forces yet another Alabama punt halfway through the first half. Alabama has only passed the 50-yard line once so far.
  • Ryan Williams has been a bright spot for Alabama so far, leading the team with 33 receiving yards through a quarter and a half.
  • Through just over 20 minutes of game time, Gunner Stockton already has six rushing attempts. He only had five in September's matchup.
  • Gunner Stockton finds Dillon Bell on third-and-goal. Georgia cashes in on its turnover and jumps out to a 14-point lead. | Georgia 14, Alabama 0, 8:43 2Q.
  • Alabama has an opportunity to get Georgia off the field, but gives up a fourth-and-1. First fourth-down attempt of the game for either side.

First Quarter:

Q1 stats
Q1 stats | StatBroadcast
  • End of the first quarter in Atlanta. Georgia holds a 7-0 lead over Alabama and poses the ball after an interception
  • 1:27 1Q: Georgia defensive back Daylen Everette was in the right place at the right time and intercepted a ball intended for Germie Bernard.
  • Georgia cornerback Ellis Robinson IV has been outstanding so far. He was through on an early third-down tackle to stuff Lotzeir Brooks and made an outstanding pass breakup on Isiah Horton.
  • Ryan Williams put multiple Bulldog defenders in a spin cycle on third down. Both he and Alabama needed that.
  • After taking over possession just a yard shy of Alabama's red zone, Georgia takes four plays to find the end zone. Running Back Roderick Robinson II caught it after leaking out of the backfield. | Georgia 7, Alabama 0, 4:36 1Q
  • Georgia blocks Alabama's punt attempt and will take over at the Crimson Tide 21.
  • 6:41 1Q: Alabama tried to run a read option play, and Ty Simpson got lit up after electing to hold on to the ball. Alabama could not convert the following play and will punt it for a second time.
  • 8:28 1Q: Gunner Stockton delivers a strike down the middle to Cash Jones, but he goes down one yard short of the sticks. Georgia will punt back to Alabama.
  • Domani Jackson — who, as mentioned earlier, wasn’t announced as a starter — just lit up Georgia running back Nate Frazier on second down. Frazier was down for an extended period before being helped off. Losing him would be a brutal blow for the Bulldogs’ cause.
  • 9:54 1Q: Georgia’s band got to break out Dies Irae after just two snaps from Alabama, as the Bulldogs’ defense swallowed up Lotzier Brooks on an end-around on third down. Alabama went with three straight runs on its opening drive, and Georgia will take over.
  • 12:00 1Q: After giving up 17 yards on the first play of the game, Alabama’s defense quickly put a stop to Georgia’s opening drive. Yhonzae Pierre was right in the middle of it, tracking down Gunner Stockton on a scramble and lighting him up to force a punt.
  • Domani Jackson was on the field for the opening snap despite not being announced as a starter. Zachariah Branch then took a screen pass for 17 yards to Jackson’s side.

Pregame:

  • Alabama wins the toss and defers to the second half.
  • Today's officiating crew will be led by Daniel Gautreaux.
  • Alabama tight end Josh Cuevas is on the field, wearing a boot on his right leg. He has been ruled out along with running back Jam Miller.
  • Recently minted three-time Alabama 7A state champion — and 2027 Crimson Tide quarterback commit — Trent Seaborn is in the house.
