Alabama survives Georgia’s comeback bid in all-time thriller: College football scores, games, updates

The biggest game of the season so far delivered in a big way.

No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, up 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting their way back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after trading leads late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the win with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams, and then an interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.

The 41-34 finish was the capper on an incredible day of college football action — one that got going early when Kentucky went into Oxford against No. 6 Ole Miss and stunned the Rebels, 20-17, in a back-and-forth affair that ended with a shanked field goal that would’ve tied it.

Later in the day, No. 21 Oklahoma got a late pick 6 to spark a comeback win over Auburn and earn its first SEC win. No. 16 Notre Dame also notched a key victory of its own in holding off No. 15 Louisville while No. 9 Penn State handled No. 19 Illinois at home and Colorado blew out UCF on the road.

Follow along below as Yahoo Sports breaks down all the remaining action tonight.

Live152 updates

  • Alabama interception!

    Bama’s Zabien Brown picks off Georgia’s Carson Beck in the end zone for his 3rd INT today and that should seal it for the Crimson Tide!

  • Georgia converts on 4th and 2 and has the ball at the Alabama 36-yard line.

    1:15 to play

  • We’re at the 2-minute timeout. Everybody take a breath.

  • ALABAMA RESPONDS WITH A TD!!

    This game is off the charts!

    Ryan Williams makes a 75-yard TD grab on maybe the play of the year and Bama is right back in front!

    Alabama 41, Georgia 34. 2:18 to play.

  • Alabama fans are going through it

  • TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA! BULLDOGS LEAD!

    Dillon Bell gets behind the Bama defense for a 67-yard TD catch!

    Georgia has rallied from 28 down to take the lead in Tuscaloosa! Unbelievable!

  • Touchdown Georgia!

    Dillon Bell takes it in from the 3 and it’s suddenly a ballgame in Tuscaloosa!

    Alabama’s lead down to 33-28 with 5:39 to go.

  • Georgia threatening again

    Carson Beck completes two big passes and immediately gets the Bulldogs down near the goal line!

    This could be a one-score game momentarily 👀

  • Alabama’s offense hasn’t done much in the 2nd half. And Georgia will get the ball back with a little more than 7 minutes to play. Do the Bulldogs have life here?

  • Final: Penn State 21, Illinois 7

    The Nittany Lions hold strong at home and will improve to 4-0 on the season. They host UCLA next week before a trip to USC.

  • Georgia TD!

    This one isn’t quite over yet. Bulldogs find the end zone on Carson Beck’s 8-yard toss to Lawson Luckie.

    2-point try no good.

    Alabama leads 33-21 with 9:55 to play.

  • Touchdown Penn State!

    That’ll do it for this one. Kaytron Allen just pushed his way into the end zone to essentially seal things in Happy Valley.

  • FUMBLE! Alabama ball

    Georgia QB Carson Beck gets the ball knocked out by Qua Russaw and Alabama’s Jah-Marien Latham scoops it up near midfield.

    Beck has turned it over 3 times today, and the Bulldogs are running out of chances to try to mount a comeback.

  • PSU milking clock out

    The Nittany Lions are draining the life out of things in Happy Valley. There’s only 2:24 left in the game and they have the ball deep in Illinois territory.

  • Bama adds a FG

    Graham Nicholson hits from 28 yards.

    Alabama leads Georgia 33-15, late 3rd.

    But here’s another angle of Ryan Williams’ wild catch that set up the field goal.

  • Ashton Jeanty with a monster TD run for Boise State

    If you need more evidence as to why BSU running back Ashton Jeanty should be in the Heisman conversation, here it is:

  • Interception Penn State!

    The Nittany Lions returned the pick for a touchdown, but there was a penalty during the return, so it’ll be PSU ball near midfield.

  • Circus catch for Alabama freshman!

    Alabama true freshman Ryan Williams made an unbelievable 55-yard grab.

    Just watch:

  • Penn State misses FG!

    The Nittany Lions’ promising drive stalls out and Sander Sahaydak misses a 40-yard kick that would’ve put them up 17-7.

    The Illini needed that in this low-scoring affair.
