Pat McAfee was right about Georgia football
The ESPN personality called his own shot on Saturday.
Pat McAfee accurately predicted that Georgia would triumph over Alabama in the College GameDay matchup. Initially met with skepticism from Alabama fans and coach Nick Saban, McAfee's foresight proved correct as Georgia edged out Alabama with a final score of 20-17. This marked Georgia's first victory in Tuscaloosa since 2007, when quarterback Matthew Stafford was leading the Bulldogs.
The game lived up to its billing, with Georgia leading 10-0 within minutes of kickoff before Alabama scored a touchdown on their ensuing drive. Running backs Bo Walker and Dwight Phillips spearheaded Georgia's ground attack, while Chauncey Bowens and Nate Frazier were sidelined. Despite Hurricane Isaias forcing the show's relocation to Alabama's Coleman Coliseum, the atmosphere remained charged, both on camera and from the supporters.
The ESPN College GameDay program ventured into a rare non-SEC contest, setting the stage for their upcoming trip to Provo, Utah, where BYU will face Notre Dame in a highly anticipated top 10 matchup.
