Alabama falls to 5-1 (3-1) with the three-point loss to Georgia on Saturday night. The Bulldogs advance to 6-0 (4-0) with the win in Tuscaloosa. Alabama will look to rebound after a disappointing loss when it travels to Knoxville, Tennessee, to face the 14th-ranked Volunteers in Neyland Stadium next Saturday, October 17.
