College football goal games

The Georgia Bulldogs capture their first national championship since as they beat Alabama The first half was a barn burner as both teams struggled to capitalize in the red zone as it finished in favor of the Crimson Tide. Alabama also got a turnover of their own on a Stetson Bennett fumble. After just 27 yards in the first, the Bulldogs bounced back for and a touchdown in the second.

Even Bennett hit his stride in the second half, he recorded two touchdowns of his own and finished with yards in the air. Young racked up yards, one touchdown and two picks on 35 completions. The Bulldogs continued to get pressure on Young and rarely missed tackles in the open field. This will be a title to remember after all the heartbreak this program has gone through over the years. The Bulldogs gave themselves some breathing room with a big touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Georgia ran the ball straight through Alabama's defense and finished with a yard passing touchdown to TE Brock Bowers to make it an eight point game. Napa, California stand up. The true freshman, Brock Bowers just made a huge play pic. Stetson Bennett makes up for his prior mistake by delivering a huge yard pass to WR Adonai Mitchell for the touchdown. The Bulldogs later attempted their first two-point conversion of the season, but failed to convert.

After lengthy review of a Stetson Bennett fumble recovered by Alabama, the Crimson Tide finally find the end zone to get its first touchdown of the night. This was ruled a fumble and recovered by Alabama.

NationalChampionship pic. The Tide went for two and the Bulldogs came up with the stop to hold Young and his offense to six. The Georgia defense continues to bend, and has yet to break as it forces another Alabama field goal inside the five.

Instead, Nick Saban settled for the fourth Alabama field goal tonight. Cook helped get Gerogia into the red zone after a yard run and then White punched it in for a one-yard touchdown. Just when it seemed Alabama's offense was starting to get going after Bryce Young's interception, Georgia's defense makes another big stop. Cook raced all the way to the Alabama Three plays later, Zamir White — Cook's backfield mate — scored the first touchdown of the game from a yard out to give Georgia a lead with remaining in the third quarter.

Georgia pinned Alabama all the way at its own 2-yard line. Without Williams at receiver, Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien and got running back Brian Robinson involved — both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield.

With Robinson leading the way, Alabama methodically moved into Georgia territory but eventually faced a third-and from the UGA That's when Young delivered a dime to freshman Agiye Hall. The ball hit Hall right in the hands for what would have been a first down, but he dropped it.

That was a ridiculously good throw by Bryce Young, who took a shot. Agiye Hall just dropped it. That incompletion set up a yard field goal, a kick that was blocked by Georgia's Jalen Carter to keep the score at The first turnover of the game came early in the third quarter, but Georgia's offense could not cash it in with points. On Alabama's second play from scrimmage in the second half, Bryce Young was picked off by Christopher Smith when he overthrew Jahleel Billingsley down the right sideline.

Alabama's defense, with Will Anderson making his presence felt, quickly forced a three-and-out and Georgia coach Kirby Smart decided to punt on fourth-and-7 from the 40 rather than keep his offense on the field. Georgia was able to tack on a field goal with left in the first half, cutting Alabama's lead to From there, both coaching staffs went conservative. Alabama opted to punt on fourth-and-8 from the Georgia 41 and then Georgia ran out the clock instead of trying to be aggressive in the final of the first half.

Alabama outgained Georgia yards to in the first half. Almost all of those yards came through the air — for Alabama and for Georgia. Both defenses came up big on third down. Alabama converted on just three of its nine third-down tries.

Georgia went 3-of On its next offensive possession, Alabama hit another big play. This time, Bryce Young hit tight end Cameron Latu in stride for a yard catch-and-run. The Bryce Young throw to Cameron Latu really was perfect pic. That play set Alabama up at the UGA 8-yard line, but Channing Tindall made a tremendous play to chase down Young for a sack to force yet another field goal. That short field goal gave Alabama a lead. Williams got a free release off the line and was wide open for a yard gain.

Williams tried to make a cut and his knee buckled. He immediately went to the turf and needed to be helped to the sideline. Soon after, he went into the injury tent and later back to the locker room.

Jameson Williams was injured on this play: pic. The drive culminated with a yard field goal to give Alabama a lead, but most of the attention in the stadium was on the status of Williams.

Alabama is already missing John Metchie, who paired with Williams to make one of the best receiving duos in the country. Georgia gained a total of one yard on its first two possessions with quarterback Stetson Bennett looking really shaky in the face of the Alabama pass rush.

And on Georgia's third possession, the offense was backed up at its own 8-yard line to start. The Bulldogs got some room when Bennett found Darnell Washington for their first first down of the game. A few plays later, Bennett finally had a clean pocket. He let one loose and found George Pickens behind the defense for a yard gain.

Pickens, expected to be UGA's No. Alabama leads Georgia at halftime , making this the first time that the national championship game has featured five total field goals between the two sides.
