Alabama-Georgia finish was 151 seconds of madness

The college football season may be five months long, but there won't be a wilder 151 seconds of action this season than what we witnessed in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

The highly anticipated matchup between Alabama and Georgia somehow exceeded the hype: The Bulldogs erased a 30-7 halftime deficit to set up the wildest final stretch in recent memory.

After the dismal opening frame, Georgia stormed back to cut the lead to five points late in the fourth quarter. Carson Beck then unleashed a 67-yard bomb to Dillon Bell to give the Bulldogs the lead with 2:31 remaining. If that held, the comeback would be the biggest in Georgia's history.

But Alabama needed just 13 seconds to flip the game on its head.

On the first play of the ensuing drive, Jalen Milroe heaved one deep for Ryan Williams and the 17-year-old freshman took it from there, dodging multiple defenders for the 75-yard touchdown.

The drama wasn't done yet. The Bulldogs got a final chance to send the game to overtime, and Beck led the offense 55 yards back down the field and set up at the Crimson Tide 20-yard line with 43 seconds to play. He looked to the end zone on the first down - only to have Zabien Brown snag the quarterback's fourth interception of the night to seal the win.
