TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Alabama upset No. 2 Georgia on Saturday night inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, 41-34. The Crimson Tide offense was clicking in the first half, but the Bulldogs fought back to take the lead in the fourth quarter before Jalen Milroe connected with Ryan Williams for the game-winning score.

The Crimson Tide targeted 11 different players in the passing game, including Kendrick Law. The junior wide receiver also was involved in a trick play early in the second quarter, when he got injured. Law went to the injury tent and never returned. After the game, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said it was a lower body injury.

"I don't know what he'll be, but it was unfortunate," DeBoer said. "I thought he had a really great week or two of practice and kept building, too. He was putting in a lot. I know he was really juiced up before the game. Thought he was doing some good things just as far as helping our offense. It might not be things that show up on the stat sheet. So unfortunately he wasn't able to be there with us throughout the whole game.
