College football | Alabama trounces Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. -- Jake Coker ran the offense to perfection, the defense turned in a dominating performance and No. 13 Alabama even got a touchdown from its special teams on Saturday in a 38-10 rout of No. 8 Georgia that re-established the Crimson Tide as a force in the national race.

Alabama (4-1, 1-1 Southeastern) jumped ahead 24-3 at halftime and iced the victory on Georgia's first offensive play of the second half. Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass from the Bulldogs' second quarterback, Brice Ramsey, and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown.
