Kirby Smart finally has his regular-season win over Alabama

After an 11-year tenure as Georgia's head coach, Kirby Smart has finally secured a regular-season victory over Alabama. This win comes after previous triumphs in the National Championship Game and the SEC Championship Game, but Smart had never previously claimed a regular-season victory against the Crimson Tide. Georgia's 20-17 triumph over Alabama on Saturday marked not only Smart's first win in this category but also the team's first victory in Tuscaloosa since 2007.

Georgia currently stands at 6-0 at the start of the season and is poised to be the top-ranked team in the country once again, following Texas' loss to Oklahoma. The victory came after Georgia trailed 14-10 at halftime prompting defensive adjustments that proved effective. Georgia outscored Alabama 10-3 in the second half to clinch the win by a field goal.

Quarterback Gunner Stockton contributed significantly with 249 passing yards, one touchdown, and an interception, along with a ground touchdown. While Georgia benefited from a pass interference call late in the fourth quarter, determination and a touch of fortune certainly played a role in their success. Georgia aims to extend its winning streak to 7-0 when they host Auburn next Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET.
