It’s the story of two halves in a war between the three most sensitive groups on Saturday.

The fourth of the moment in a specific track competition: Georgia led 14-7 with more than nine minutes to play in the first half, but the Bulldogs finished the first part 24-20 after being shot in a frantic nine-minute final.
The game as an all-time harvest founded in the first half, but that’s when Alabama consolidated its position as the country’s most sensible team two alongside Clemson, whom he is probably destined to face in the school football playoffs.

That put Bama 41-24 with 9:32 remaining, and Crimson Tide stood from there for the victory.
Alabama’s third quarter showed what the team looks like at its best. In attack, they can move the ball in the air and on the floor with relative ease. Explosive games are not unusual thanks to the Jones-Waddle-Smith trio and Harris is only fighting for his footage.
Waddle and Smith also traditionally fit at this point:
