Alabama Fans Throw Objects at Georgia Players After Controversial 20-17 Loss

Georgia defeated Alabama 20-17 on Saturday, securing the No. 1 national ranking, but the game ended in chaos. Alabama fans threw objects at Georgia players near the tunnel as the Bulldogs exited the field. The loss was fueled by controversial no-calls, including a missed pass interference on Alabama's final drive and a targeting penalty not called on Georgia's KJ Bolden. Alabama defensive back Dijon Lee Jr. committed a late personal foul, giving Georgia an automatic first down to kneel out the clock. Head coach Kalen DeBoer was visibly furious with Lee, reportedly telling him the penalty cost the team the game. Alabama drops to 5-1, while Georgia improves to 6-0.
