ATLANTA — Down by 14 at various points in the second and third quarters, the No. 1/1/1 Alabama football team stormed back to a 35-28 win over No. 4/4/4 Georgia in the 2018 Southeastern Conference Championship Game Saturday in Atlanta, Ga. Subbing for sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was sidelined early in the fourth quarter with an injury, junior Jalen Hurts led a pair of fourth-quarter scoring drives for the win. Junior running back Josh Jacobs was selected as the game’s Most Valuable Player after accounting for the Tide’s fi rst two touchdowns and leading Alabama’s rushing attack with 83 yards on eight carries. Freshman wide receiver Jaylen Waddle paced all pass-catchers with 113 yards and a touchdown. Tagovailoa fi nished his day 10-of-25 passing with two interceptions, 164 yards and one touchdown, while Hurts closed things out with an impressive 7-of-9 performance that included 82 yards and a touchdown. The junior signal-caller also rushed for the deciding score from 15 yards out, capping a 28-yard effort on the ground in fi ve attempts.

Alabama’s defense was led by junior Saivion Smith, with the defensive back collecting a career-high 11 tackles on the day. Following Smith were redshirt sophomore Quinnen Williams and redshirt junior Deionte Thompson at eight tackles apiece. Williams added a team-high two tackles for loss (-12 yards) and contributed one sack (-1 yard) while Thompson forced a Georgia fumble.
