Georgia’s Lambert struggles while Tide’s Coker soars Alabama hands Georgia worst home defeat of Richt era, 38-10 Chubb ties Herschel with 13th straight 100-yard game

ATHENS, Ga. – Nearly 45 minutes before Saturday’s showdown between No. 8 Georgia and No. 13 Alabama inside a soggy Sanford Stadium, several Bulldogs raced over to some Crimson Tide players entering the field for some jawing.

Alabama wasn’t fazed in the least.

The offensive trio of quarterback Jake Coker, tailback Derrick Henry and receiver Calvin Ridley were too much for the Bulldogs to handle, and two non-offensive touchdowns added to the onslaught as the Tide rolled to a 38-10 thrashing. It was Alabama’s biggest win ever over a top-10 team at an opposing venue.

“I was really proud of our players today,” Tide coach Nick Saban said. “I told them before the game that the plan that we had for them, ordinary men couldn’t go out there and get it done. We needed them to be extraordinary, and that they were. They were special.”
