Prince Miller diving into the endzone.
Dawg fans can now buy their tickets for the National Championship Game as the Georgia Bulldogs beat Alabama 27-24. Alabama started the game off fast driving down to the redzone on the opening drive. However the Georgia defense stood tough and forced a field goal. Georgia then drove down the field but was also held to a field goal. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 3-3.
The teams exchanged fieldgoals in the second quarter and the score was 6-6 with a minute left in the half. Then the play of the game happened... Alabama tried to score one last time but an errant pass was intercepted and returned 56 yards by Prince Miller. 13-6.
Bama intercepted a pass on the Dawg's first possession in the third quarter. They could only gainn 5 yards though on the drive and were limited to a field goal once more. 13-9. On the next drive Caleb King carried the Dawg's to a touchdown with 1:43 left in the third period. 20-9. Alabama wasn't done though as Julio Jones caught a touchdown pass to make it 20-16.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Caleb King tore his shoulder and left the game. A hero was born as on his first carry, Richard Samuel went 44 yards for six points. 27-16. Alabama continued to fight back however and made the score 27-24 with three minutes left. That is as close as they would get though as Richard Samuel continued to get first downs and eat up the clock.
