2nd and 26 will be remembered forever

Trigger warning!

Yes, it was an all-timer and as devastating as it gets. Waited 37 years for our shot. Then that thunderbolt.

Fortunately many good things have happened in the 5 years since. If not for that play, Kirbs would already have 3 before turning 47.

Never should have happened. Chip shot FG in regulation should have ended it.

Of course it was. You aren't fooling anyone. That play was allowed to stand because of a ref error. I'd much rather talk about that fourth quarter of the 2021 natty where UGA slugged Big Bad Bama in the mouth. It really hurt. Y'all are still bitching about injuries like you were the only one playing without key players. Back to back baby

You beat a cripple. Congrats.

We beat Bama. Lol

In fairness we whipped you in Atlanta in 21…..so….ok? I guess lol

Ancient history to this old Dawg fan.

That's true. But the refs missed a call that didn't help

I think the early stages of the game before Jamo went out showed that the core problems UGA's defense had with Alabama's throw game had not been resolved but it was highly dependent on the players not the scheme. Alabama probably win that game by a couple scores but uglier than the SECCG with Jamo available all game. None of UGA's DBs could deal with his speed. Game changed when he went out. They didn't need to do as much clever stuff to take Jamo's deep threat away and could mostly just play straight up and blitz a lot more. Hell, the play he went out on UGA brought some pressure and their DB immediately got cooked.

Alabama's got no one but themselves to blame. The 2017 team beat UGA because the freshmen - after a season of preparation - showed up big for Alabama in the 2nd half. In 2017, it was less due to injury and more due to performance of the veterans. In 2021, Alabama needed a group of highly recruited receivers from the 2020 and 2021 recruiting classes to step up but they didn't. That's why most of them are playing at 2nd rung FBS programs or not doing jack shite somewhere else now.

Alabama's injuries aren't Georgia's problem. I do think the game goes differently if Alabama had Metchie and/or Jamo in the national title. 2021 UGA's secondary was a big weak link. It is Alabama's fault that their entire season hinged on 3 guys.
