Georgia beat Alabama in overtime in an SEC game that surely didn't disappoint. Well, it did disappoint in the sense that I wanted Alabama to win and they didn't. But it definitely lived up to every expectation you would have of a game in the Southeastern Conference. Georgia had been leading Bama pretty much the whole game until the fourth quarter. That's when the Crimson Tide started coming back just like they did last week when they beat Arkansas. So Alabama worked their way from being 10 points down to tying Georgia at 20. After Bama tied it, Georgia got the ball with about a minute and a half left, at which point they started working their way down the field. They made their way into field goal position with :03 left in the game. Coutu goes for the kick and it's WIDE! The game ends and goes into overtime.
In overtime Alabama was unsuccessful in their passing attempts, which forced them to attempt a field goal on fourth down. Georgia then got the ball and on their very first attempt completed a touchdown pass and won the game. This was a real heart-stopper and a perfect example of what makes the SEC so great.
