ATLANTA, Ga. - The Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1 overall) used a dominant performance by its defense and a record-setting day by running back Derrick Henry to defeat the Florida Gators (10-3 overall), 29-15, to win the 2015 Southeastern Conference Championship Game in front of a crowd of 75,320 at the Georgia Dome (capacity: 71,500). The SEC title, the 25th in Crimson Tide history, made the Tide the first team to earn back-to-back SEC Championship Game victories since Tennessee did so in 1997-98.
The Alabama defense stifled Florida's offense for much of the game, holding the Gators to 180 total yards including only 15 yards rushing.
