Dwight Phillips Jr. rushed for 120 yards and Bo Walker added 69 yards as Georgia defeated No. 6 Alabama 20-17 on Saturday night, staking a claim to the No. 1 ranking. Gunner Stockton accounted for both of Georgia's touchdowns, one passing and another rushing, completing 18 of 22 passes for 249 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The second-ranked Bulldogs finished with 206 rushing yards despite playing without leading rusher Nate Frazier, marking their third win over Alabama in their past 11 meetings and first regular season victory since 2007. The game, played despite Hurricane Isaias, featured controversial late-game calls as officials declined a pass-interference flag on KJ Bolden and Alabama's Dijon Lee Jr. drew a personal foul penalty to seal the win. Keelon Russell completed 16 of 30 passes for 185 yards with a touchdown and also rushed for 41 yards.
Georgia improved to 6-0 (4-0 SEC) while Alabama fell to 5-1 (3-1).
