TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama blew a 28-point lead against No. 2 Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.

And then the No. 4 Crimson Tide broke the Bulldogs' hearts again in a 41-34 victory in which the SEC heavyweights scored touchdowns on consecutive plays from scrimmage late in the fourth quarter.

Alabama didn't seal the victory until cornerback Zabien Brown intercepted quarterback Carson Beck's pass to receiver Colbie Young in the end zone with 43 seconds left to end Georgia's furious rally.

After the Bulldogs rallied from a 23-point deficit at halftime, they took their first lead on Beck's 67-yard touchdown to Dillon Bell to make it 34-33 with 2:31 to go.
