The Alabama Crimson Tide earned one of their best regular season victories in years this past weekend with the 41-34 triumph over the Georgia Bulldogs in a game that was billed as the matchup of the century and lived up to the billing.
The Tide rolled to a 28-0 lead and a 30-7 halftime advantage, but Georgia did not go away quietly. In front of a stunned Bryant-Denny crowd, the Bulldogs mounted a furious comeback and took the lead 34-33 with just over two minutes left to play.
But the lead would not last long as freshman superstar Ryan Williams made the play of his life on the next play of the ensuing drive, scoring a 75-yard touchdown to put Alabama back in the lead.
Crimson Tide Sports Network’s Chris Stewart delivered an all-time call of the play:

Thus far this season, Williams has 16 catches for a ridiculous 462 yards and five touchdowns. He seems to be getting better every single week and showed up in the biggest moment of his career on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.
The sky is the limit for how good Williams can be — but it’s safe to say he will be delivering Chris Stewart plenty more epic calls this season.
