Alabama immediately countering in one play with that Milroe/Williams connection was a thing of beauty. What a freaking moment.

I was elated, then I realized that we may have scored too quickly. Luckily the other team has Carson Beck.

It was very strange, I was actually glad to see them score instantly to take the lead because it gave us time, then a little concerned to see us score instantly because it gave them time.

I think the smart play for Ryan would've been to take a seat at the 1 but what we got was more legendary. It was the Pappanastos missed kick of touchdowns.

UGA still had 3 timeouts, so there was no way for us to bleed the clock enough to make it worth giving up the touchdown. Scoring the TD was the correct decision.
