The loss was Georgia's first of the season, while Alabama improved to 4-0. Milroe had an exceptional performance for the Crimson Tide, throwing for 373 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for two more. Williams, despite his youth, made six catches for 177 yards and a touchdown.

Beck, despite turning the ball over four times, managed to throw for 439 yards and three touchdowns. Arian Smith rushed for 132 yards, and Bell added 100 receiving yards.

The game was also notable for the appearance of former President Donald Trump, who received an ovation from the crowd when shown on the jumbotron.
