2,177 – days since Georgia had previously lost in Sanford Stadium

Georgia’s heartbreaking loss to the Tide was the first time the Bulldogs lost a game Between the Hedges since October 12, 2019. The once 33-game streak is now only a memory. While the loss to Alabama certainly stings, it feels like it was only a matter of time before someone took down the Bulldogs on their home turf.

13 – first downs converted by Alabama

Ty Simpson and the Tide converted 13 third downs, which is the most ever given up by a defense in the Kirby Smart era. The Bulldogs did a solid job of putting Alabama into third down situations, but ultimately could not deliver the final punch to force punts. This stat was ultimately why Georgia lost the game when the Tide converted on third and five to seal the deal.

1 – sack by the Georgia defense

The Georgia defense was only able to get home for one sack in the loss to Alabama. It felt like Simpson had all day in the pocket. When you give a quarterback with receivers such as Bernard and Williams that much time, those players are going to find holes in the secondary.

7 – times Smart has lost to Alabama

With this loss, Coach Smart has now lost to Alabama seven times in eight tries. When Nick Saban retired, it seemed like Georgia would finally be able to get Alabama off their back. You have to give credit to Coach DeBoer and his staff for somehow keeping Smart in the Tide’s rearview mirror. Sooner rather than later Georgia needs to beat this team or Bulldog Nation will continue to live in a dark shadow that looms from Tuscaloosa. While Georgia currently has Tennessee and Florida’s number, Alabama for whatever reason doesn’t lose to Georgia, regardless of the venue.

119 – rushing yards by Chauncey Bowens

This freshman back had a career-day against Alabama, rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown. It seems like he might become the RB1 if he hasn’t already. Nate Frazier’s fumble problems continued last week, and he did not have another carry after that turnover. With Stockton coming into form as the starter, Bowens will certainly be relied on as the Bulldogs try and rally back to the top of the standings this season.

0 – points scored by Alabama in the second half

Once again, Georgia found themselves behind after Alabama stormed to a 14-0 lead. Coach Smart and his staff made incredible adjustments at halftime though, allowing zero points in the second half. While Georgia still fell short, a lot of credit goes to Smart for keeping his team focused and not letting things get out of hand. If there’s one thing Georgia fans have learned, the Bulldogs are never out of it, and it showed against the Tide.
