"ATLANTA -- Gunner Stockton threw three touchdown passes as No. 3 Georgia solidified its position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and beat Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time, pounding the 10th-ranked Crimson Tide 28-7 on Saturday. Georgia (12-1, No. 3 CFP), had been 0-4 against Alabama in the SEC title game and 1-7 against the Crimson Tide under coach Kirby Smart."
"Cole Speer's block of Blake Doud's punt in the first quarter allowed Georgia to start a drive at the Alabama 21. Nate Frazier ran for 14 yards on first down. On third down from the 1, Stockton faked a handoff, rolled right and passed to Roderick Robinson II for the touchdown. Late in the first quarter, Daylon Everette's interception of Simpson's pass deflected by KJ Bolden gave the Bulldogs the ball near midfield. Stockton's 1-yard scoring pass to Dillon Bell gave Georgia a 14-0 lead."
Georgia dominated Alabama 28-7 in the Southeastern Conference championship, with Gunner Stockton throwing three touchdown passes. The Bulldogs used a blocked punt and an interception to convert turnovers into first-half touchdowns and built a 21-0 lead by halftime. Nate Frazier and Dillon Bell contributed scoring runs and receptions, and London Humphreys' block helped extend the lead in the second half. The victory gave Georgia its fourth SEC title under coach Kirby Smart and its 16th overall. The loss leaves Alabama's College Football Playoff prospects in question after a lopsided defeat.
