Nick Saban was at the game, his first Alabama-Georgia showdown since retiring after last season. The legendary former coach was working the game for ESPN and was able to enjoy the action from a luxury suite at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Kalen DeBoer took the job 261 days ago, but Saturday night felt like the moment he truly became Alabama’s head coach. He won over the roster during spring practice. The Alabama fan base largely hopped on board over the summer after a furious recruiting run.

Jalen Milroe took off down the right side, as a Georgia defender lost his helmet during a vicious hit, and the Alabama quarterback ran for a 36-yard touchdown to put the Tide up over No. 1 Georgia 28-0 in the first half. Nick Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium was electric. Fans were crazy.
