Alabama survives Georgia’s comeback bid in an all-time thriller: college football scores, games, updates

The biggest game of the season so far was a huge success.

No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, leading 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after exchanging the lead late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the victory with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams and a subsequent interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.

The 41-34 score capped an incredible day of college football — one that started early when Kentucky took on No. 6 Ole Miss in Oxford and stunned the Rebels 20-17 in a back-and-forth that ended with a failed field goal that would have made the equalizer possible.

Later in the day, No. 21 Oklahoma received a late pick 6 to set up a comeback win against Auburn and earn its first SEC victory. No. 16 Notre Dame also earned a decisive victory by holding off No. 15 Louisville, while No. 9 Penn State battled No. 19 Illinois at home and Colorado defeated UCF on the road.

Follow along below as Yahoo Sports breaks down all the remaining action tonight.

  • Final: Alabama 41, Georgia 34

    No. 4 Alabama wins an absolutely crazy game against No. 2 Georgia. Bama blew a 28-point lead but found a way to salvage it in the final minutes with a circus catch by Ryan Williams.

  • Halftime: Boise State 17, Washington State 10

    Things have been tight in Boise so far. Ashton Jeanty broke off a big early run, but things have been pretty quiet for the Broncos since then.

  • Alabama interception!

    Bama’s Zabien Brown gets his 3rd INT in the end zone today against Georgia’s Carson Beck and that should seal the win for the Crimson Tide!

  • Georgia converts on 4th-and-2 and has the ball at the Alabama 36-yard line.

    1:15 to play

  • We’re at the 2-minute timeout. Everyone takes a breath.

  • ALABAMA RESPONDS WITH A TD!!

    This game is off the charts!

    Ryan Williams makes a 75-yard TD grab that might be the play of the year, and Bama is right back in front!

    Alabama 41, Georgia 34. 2:18 left.

  • Alabama fans go through this

  • TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA! Bulldogs lead!

    Dillon Bell gets behind the Bama defense for a 67-yard touchdown catch!

    Georgia rallied from a 28-point deficit to take the lead in Tuscaloosa! Incredible!

  • Georgia touchdown!

    Dillon Bell takes over from the 3 and it’s suddenly a ball game in Tuscaloosa!

    Alabama’s lead narrowed to 33-28 with 5:39 left.

  • Georgia threatens again

    Carson Beck completes two big passes and immediately brings the Bulldogs close to the goal line!

    This could be a one-score game right now 👀

  • Alabama’s offense didn’t do much in the 2nd half. And Georgia will get the ball back with just over seven minutes left in the game. Do the Bulldogs have a life here?

  • Final: Penn State 21, Illinois 7

    The Nittany Lions are strong at home and will improve to 4-0 on the season. They host UCLA next week before traveling to USC.

  • Georgia TD!

    This one isn’t quite over yet. The Bulldogs reached the end zone on an 8-yard throw from Carson Beck to Lawson Luckie.

    A 2-point attempt is of no use.

    Alabama leads 33-21 with 9:55 to play.

  • Touchdown Penn State!

    That’s enough for this one. Kaytron Allen just pushed his way into the end zone to essentially seal Happy Valley.

  • FUMBLE! Alabama ball

    Georgia QB Carson Beck has the ball deflected by Qua Russaw and Alabama’s Jah-Marien Latham grabs it near midfield.

    Beck did it three times today and the Bulldogs are running out of chances to attempt a comeback.

  • PSU milking meter expired

    The Nittany Lions are sucking the life out of things in Happy Valley. There are only 2:24 left to play and they have the ball deep in Illinois territory.

  • Bama adds a FG

    Graham Nicholson scores from 28 yards.

    Alabama leads Georgia 33-15 late in the third.

    But here’s another angle of Ryan Williams’ wild catch that set up the field goal.

  • Ashton Jeanty with a monster TD run for Boise State

    If you need more evidence as to why BSU running back Ashton Jeanty should be in the Heisman conversation, you can find it here:

  • Penn State interception!

    The Nittany Lions returned the pick for a touchdown, but there was a penalty on the return, so the PSU ball will be near midfield.

  • Circus catch for Alabama newbie!

    Alabama true freshman Ryan Williams made an incredible 55-yard grab.
