It's always disappointing to lose in the national championship game, especially against a team you have previously beaten by three scores. But I still think this Alabama team overachieved given how young and inexperienced they were. All season, Saban was making comments that made it seem like he didn't believe this team had what it takes to win the title, but this game was very much in reach until the very end. The main thing that hurt Alabama all season and killed them in this game was the one-dimensional offense. They could never establish a consistent running game and the passing game really only ran through two receivers, both of whom were missing after the first quarter in this game. Outside of Metchie and Williams, it is really shocking how limited Alabama's talent was at receiver. We first saw that in the Iron Bowl, when Williams went out and the offense started giving us flashbacks to 2004. There were an unbelievable number of drops in this game - I can't remember any game where I've seen more. You can't make those kinds of mistakes against a great defense like Georgia. The portal has resolved some of the off field and locker room issues Alabama had in that position group last year, so hopefully that will combine with more experience to create a better outcome this year. The secondary was another problem all season that was further exacerbated by injuries. Georgia really did a great favor to Alabama by seeming determined to win it on the ground. For some reason, it took their coaching staff 7.5 quarters to realize that pass coverage was the defense's weakness, and that slow response massively hurt Georgia in the SEC championship and nearly cost them the rematch as well. Once they finally put that together, they started moving the ball at will. While 2021 was a rebuilding year for Alabama, almost all of the key pieces returned for 2022. They also added some big names in the transfer portal. 13-2, SEC champion and national runner-up exceeded expectations for 2021, but 15-0 should be the expectation for 2022.

I have watched this a hundred times at least. The blocking after that final interception was absolutely game winning. Congrats to the Dawgs

Love this game, ending made me cry in happiness.

i'm an alabama fan but couldnt even get mad at this one. uga earned it 100% defense wins championships.

*GEORGIA* probably should have won the Natty at the end of the 2017 season by a blowout of 2+ scores, but Alabama said “if you won’t finish it - we will!” & we got what we deserved. *GEORGIA* probably should have won the 2018 SEC Championship by a blowout of 2+ scores, but Alabama put us in our place again. . .& they EARNED the W. Well-earned! To the true football fans that root for Alabama: great game. This was *NOT* a great or even “typical” season for Alabama. . .& somehow, y’all still fought your way into the SEC & Nat’l Championship games (in one of which you gave us our only loss & beatdown of the season). That’s an absolutely frightening fact for 99.98% of the League! (whether they admit it or not) All the respect in the world to you. Saban & Kirby and the behemoths they’ve constructed aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. . .& we better get better at winning more of these head-to-heads or it’s gonna be trouble. #RespectToTheGOATs💯#TheTideIsReal #GoDAWGZ To the imbeciles making your fanbase look pathetic by crying about calls, injuries & the like: you snuck by a 6-7 Florida team that Georgia throttled, a 6-7 LSU team, a 4-loss Arkansas team that Georgia obliterated, a 6-7 Auburn team that Georgia humiliated and you lost to a 4-loss Texas A&M team. Cut the shullbit. Your record won’t say it, but there were some exceptionally poor performances all season. Alabama’s the greatest ever precisely by NOT making the excuses y’all are vomiting right now. Take a lesson from the real members of your fanbase who watch, love & understand football. . .or start rooting for Vandy🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

Stetson's "fumble" was way more of a pass than Young's "pass" could have ever been.

Class act Kirby helping Bryce back up after the pick six.

The Braves and Dawgs finally ended the Georgia curse. I can't remember a state with more playoff wins and so few championships. Hopefully that curse stays gone

Bama Remind, you have a great community here. Breathe of fresh air to see so many classy Alabama fans.

This never gets old...

"The biggest 3rd down" of Bryce Youngs career still brings a tear to my eye!

Chills and tears for me at the end of this game. Going all the way back to the days of Coach Dooley it had been a long time coming for Georgia to win it all.

Georgia! ....On the Mountaintop!

Refs kind of handed a touchdown to Alabama. His hand was going forward.

I'm a die hard Ducks fan an as much as I get tired of hearing how great the SEC is an how football means more over there, blah blah blah... I gotta say, this is one of the better national championship games I can remember watching. Hats off to both teams an mainly to Stetson Bennett. Quite the college football story he's writing for himself at Georgia. Looking forward to our match together to kickoff the 2022 season.

Georgia is the new standard in college football!!! Go Dawgs!!!!

20:50 I will never forget my dad’s, who graduated from UGA in ‘95 and is a diehard UGA fan, reaction after this play

For the bama fans saying it should have been 28-6 at half i say it should have been 17-0 at half Georgia with the young fumble at the beginning of the game but either way 33-18 dawgs on top

This was a fun game to watch. My high school friend and also football teammates son is Brock Bowers #19. Was Awesome to see him do so well..

I was there such and amazing experience will never forget it

The entire state of georgia had a hangover the next morning

When they lost in the sec championship i knew if they could get a rematch Georgia would win

When are we going to get a documentary on the epic matchups between these 2. The story of Jaylen, Tua, and Mac, as well as story of Stetson which I admire the most even as a Bama fan. Both programs are rich with exciting history and it needs to be taken advantage of.

Bama fans complain about their injured receivers but I don't notice them giving the 2009 Natty trophy to Texas after Colt McCoy got hurt! Injuries are part of the game and Bama got at gift touchdown from the refs on the Stetson Bennett forward pass that the refs called a fumble. Without that the beatdown would have been worse! Great game, love watching the highlights to this! Great job Georgia after all of the heartbreaking close loses to Bama over the last few years!

It's so good to see Georgia finally win after the last few years of choking it all away. Lets hope this is the end of choking in the big game when it really matters.

One of the best sports days of my life! #GODAWGS

At 15:13 the only discussion they had was , ref Georgia beating Alabama we gotta give it to Alabama to try and slow down Georgia

The last 5 minutes of this game were the best

Beat by a 1-star quarterback and Alabama had crooked referees calling the game. Ala had the top 2 players in college football

It’s going to be interesting in 2022! I think these two team are headed towards a rivalry! #GoDawgs

What a terrible call in the fourth quarter… Why when Alabama’s quarterback arms moving forward its incomplete pass? When Georgia’s quarterback arm is moving forward it to fumble?

The injury hurt but u just can’t complain about that forever. This game was lost because no one stepped up and took Jamo or Metchie’s place. This game was lost because our reserve receivers couldn’t make plays when their number was called (cough cough Agiye Hall). But credit to Georgia they had a good team.

Refs tried desperately to hand this game to Alabama, Georgia wasn’t having it.

Absolutely love this game

"Biggest third down in Bryce Young's career."

Go Dawgs!!

Both kickoff chants together, I love it!

Go Dawgs. F*** the haters

UGA really beat two great teams back to back to become National Champions with Bam and Ohio State. This was a great game

This type of game needs to be played on a Saturday night. Not a damn Monday at 8:30. You don't see the Super Bowl being played on a Thursday because the NFL plays on Sundays. Move this game to Saturday night at 8:30 where most people are off work and it's not a school night.

The Georgia staff helping Bryce up

That pick six will go down in UGA history. I never doubted them. We were the best team in the country that year....by far. We should have won.

#1 team in the nation ☝🏻

Lets Go Dawgs! 33-18‼️

GO DAWGS! FINALLY, after 41 years, UGA can call themselves National Champions once again. IT FEELS SO GOOD TO FINALLY BEAT ALABAMA!

Mad respect to kirby. Man helped up byrce young right after byrce just gave the game away when his own team left him sitting. Go dawgs!

Georgia 💪

Thank you. so sweet. woof woof.

How it taste Bama🤣 I love looking at these highlights! S/O to my DAWGS

Favorite part of this game was when Zeus started carrying the ball at 18:27. Dude was not going to be stopped.

UGA 33 Alabama 18

That line leap push for the first is rent free

COMING FROM A DIE HARD BAMA FAN THE BETTER TEAM “THAT GAME” WON THE NATTY! GEORGIA WAS PHENOMENAL ALL YEAR LONG KIRBY SMART FINALLY “CRACKED THE CODE” AGAINST SABAN LOL BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I’M EXCITED ABOUT THIS UPCOMING SEASON! BAMA HAS ONE GOAL IN MIND AND THAT’S TO BRING THE NATTY BACK TO T-TOWN #ROLLTIDE #RTR

The Georgia Bulldogs Beat Bama with a 2 Star walk-on Quarter back!! Blazing a Trail for a Back to Back National CHAMPIONSHIPS! Goooooo Dawgs!!! Sic'em!!!

This was one of the best games ive seen

Dawgs we're stronger in the 4th quarter. they just had to get past that crimson mental block they had. They believe now, see you in Atlanta again this year. go Dawgs

Man this really was a great game. I had forgotten that it was all FG's for most of it until the end.

The swarm took this game over, and by the swarm I mean the defense which had 5, FIVE first round picks in the 2022 NFL draft. So grateful, happy, elated, and overjoyed to beat Alabama. Looking forward to our next beat down on Bama.

Tears of joy again for the umpteenth time.

My goodness. Who, in their right mind, couldn't love SEC football after watching this? Two dynamic offenses that could only be somewhat stifled by only SEC defenses.🤷‍♂️

Well thank you for finally providing a longer and better edited highlight video for this game than a sh*tty 10 min one done by ESPN, while also not making one that’s about an hour long ( I’m looking at you HaydenYT)

Kelee Ringo saved a TD

They tried their best to give it to Bama but that Dawg D was just too good!🐶🐾🐾🐾

And at 10:25 of this video Alabama knew they had fucked up….BRING ON THE DAWGS!!!!!

Go Dawgs!!!🏈🏈

All trash talk aside I'm a georgia fan so I was glad to finally beat the tide this is what it looks like when nfl talent plays each other this game was much closer than what the final score showed I will cherish this win more than the tcu win simply because georgia beat the king of the sport to hit the mountain top as much as other fans hate it I hope to see another Georgia Alabama national championship both of those games were amazing

Just so everyone knows Georgia's top 3 receiver's were also out or very very limited. Blaylock, Pickens and Jackson are the receivers I was referring too so you can't say Bama only lost because of those receivers

Love the Dawgs

Yay Bulldogs!!

In this National Championship game, Georgia out played, out Coached Alabama mainly the second half of the game. And Georgia Bulldogs Won! Even with a lot of bad calls during the first half of the game.

DAWGS 💪💪 #runitback #itsourtime💪💪💪 DAWGNATION BABY let's do it again 🏆🏆🏆🏆#3rdandringo😂😂😂

Bama recieving core let them down young was great

Sucks Jameson got injured. Gave Georgia a title with that injury.

The fact that UGA won despite the refs shafting them on stetson's "fumble" and Bryce's "throw" is insane.

Back to Back, see you in Atlanta this year? Right?

Latu OPI on that TD

this game here proves georgia threw that game vs bama in the se championship, they knew they would have to play bama again in the playoff. no sense in showing a team all your cards if you have to play them again in the near future and in the playoff.

UGA #1 BABY ! GOOOOOO DAWGS !

When Jamison Williams went down in that 2nd qtr, Georgia completely game-changed their defense, bc Alabama had no deep threat(Williams and Metchie were out); that injury was the game-changer Georgia needed to win.....

Metchie and Williams were missed Hall dropping that 3rd down catch killed Bama

Go Dawgs

The Night the Dynasty died. RIP Alabama Football

How was stetson's a fumble and young's wasn't?

I love watching Alabama vs. georgia. I like Alabama more than georgia

Jameson Williams going down in this game really hurt and the monument turned in favor of Georgia.

I could be at my mamas funeral but if Bama lost the same day, it’s a good day.

Go dawgs

A program like bama should be able to replace a WR and win. Still had Heisman winner and stout defense

Georgia just beat me but roll tide made me good

2021

I have watched this clip many times can’t help but wonder how much Saban paid for the Heisman Trophy

They both beat each other so kinda evens out really!

Looking back now everybody failed Bryce young. Missed catches dropped touchdowns. Just terrible.

Watching this 2 years later. I forgot how horrible the refs were. A lot of those calls were quite suspect. Even with all the BS calls the Dawgs still pulled out the W

Ah Jermaine Burton. Left to get his name out there but instead of it being known as SEC Champ and Back to Back Champions he’s known for hitting a woman after losing. Way to go!

You can tell the guy that made this video is nothing but a living in his mom's basement Alabama fanboy who probably has had three children with his sister. He showed almost every good thing Alabama did and cut out a ton of great plays by Georgia.

Yes sir

Crazy how the refs kept alabama in this game. Everytime they play, refs extend alabama drives. It's crazy

Oh TCU!! What could’ve been! 🤦🏼‍♂️

The refs helped bama the best they could. But not good enough! GO DAWGS
