Bama is back: Tide rolls past Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. — One flawless first half was more than enough for Alabama.

The No. 8-ranked Crimson Tide dominated the line of scrimmage in the first half in building a 31-0 lead and then survived a couple of special teams gaffes in the second half to send No. 3-ranked Georgia packing in a 41-30 beating Saturday that sent shockwaves around the college football world.
Bama is back.

In fact, Alabama has as good a claim as any to the No. 1 spot when the new polls come out Sunday. The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) has now beaten two top 10 teams away from home. They opened the season with a blowout win over Clemson in Atlanta. At the time, the Tigers were ranked No. 9.
