One play may not decide a game, but that doesn’t mean it won’t stick out.
Enter fourth-ranked Georgia’s punt unit — and Justin Fields, believe that or not — and the fake punt gone awry during the fourth quarter of Georgia’s 35-28 loss to No. 1 Alabama.
The Crimson Tide had just tied the game on a 10-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Jalen Hurts to Jerry Jeudy. Georgia had squandered a 21-7 halftime lead, and took the field with little momentum having just given up a seven-minute scoring drive.
The Crimson Tide faithful, quiet for much of the first half, had come back to life.
