The Time Jalen Hurts Led An Amazing Comeback Against Georgia

now they get a crack at the number one team [Applause] and they'll start from the 25-yard line ocean frond's first pass is not gonna be a pass it's gonna be a sack and it's quinn williams five to kick not the greatest punt it's gonna be fielded at the 35 by jalen waddle waddle got the edge he's at midfield all the way down to the 29-yard line judy in motion the spin move by tagavalo and now pressure and dana goes deandre walker and joanne taylor there throw it away and by the way keep an eye on tua because i think he tweaked that right knee on this sack he came up limping on the play [Applause] the field fires to the end zone it's intercepted richard look out for georgia going the other way look out got a convoy what a turnaround he turns and then comes back what a play after the interception a legal block in the back on the return team number 44. that's a 10-yard penalty from the 21. kagamaloa in trouble again lofts it wide open and dropped you don't see that happen very often irv smith jalen hurts standing by that's his numbers from last year and that's the reason nick saban made the change to tua at halftime [Applause] georgia first down their third possession now at the 40 armor from quick throw got his man holloman back into alabama territory frown to throw again again down the middle on a crossing route is terry godwin and godwin the throw not a touchdown this one you can't throw a ball better than this boom right in the face mask he fakes it to him has plenty of time steps into a deep middle throw and got it complete and as henry rugs to midfield nazi harris his first run straight up the middle powering his way down inside the 30-yard line second and 10. here's josh jacobs on a little draw play jacobs heading to the goal line i think his knee was down on foot line jacobs the tail back in the eye gets the call and walks in touchdown alabama [Music] [Applause] from looks left all the way just flips it out to runner and he's got a first down so back-to-back catches throws caught godwin and he crawls his way to the 29-yard line and a half-minute mark of the quarter blitz is coming from rose complete again this one complete to tyler simmons swift trying to pick his way inside to the end zone touchdown georgia flip out the open it's his dead leg watch his step and run right through samian smith number four that one and three wide receivers when it's swift all the way deandre swift blasts his way to the 31. and tight oh he's wide open from to swift swift to the end zone touchdown that was pushing two of them move nobody covers number seven run through a tackle that is good coaching that is game planning it's at ole miss it's lasted six minutes and 38 seconds courtesy of georgia but here comes josh jacobs there goes josh jacobs jacobs inside the 30 still on his feet wow what a run the old reliable running game and that time the alabama offensive line showed [Applause] jacobs is the guy that got him down there and they lost the ball going in wait a minute watch him reach out second effort falls down now see if he can grab the ball a rolling on the field as the ball was fumbled forward recovered by georgia for a touchback after review the ball was fumbled by alabama and recovered by alabama for a touchdown for alabama and when you and i first started doing this we would have just had to live with it being a touchback and not a touchdown but they got it right and that's the goal here and he not only got rid of it did a pretty nice job to get it out across midfield and mighty used all the clock it did good job by number 90. it's halftime georgia fans are thinking can we get them back last year we took them to overtime and we let them off the hook because of that guy and now with a touchdown lead at the break the number four team in the land leading the top-ranked crimson tide by a touchdown to jamie with coach saban coach you've been plagued by slow starts recently and then to see some mental errors in the first half how do you make those adjustments now well you know we did make some mental errors you know we got to play better on defense they're running the ball on us we're not staying in our gaps we're not executing the calls that we're making so we got to do better but we've also squandered opportunities by throwing an interception down in the red area not moving the ball consistently enough on you know offense when we have it so dropping a couple balls so all in all not a real good house all right coach thanks thank you elijah again cuts this one outside got the first down got the edge has the speed to take it all the way to the 21-yard line from the 23. looks right goes right to the end zone [Music] did he catch it he did touchdown riley ridley this ball went directly away from us it was again another perfect pass savion smith says if you could throw a ball that well you get a touchdown and he threw the ball that well look at that there's about a foot window to throw the ball alabama's showing some pressure to bring it off the corner from throws down the middle isaac nada nada still running all the way to the 20. for georgia up and wide left he missed it so that gives alabama a little bit of life somebody might have been right sagamoloa down in the middle got his man and it's jalen waddle who bounces off the tackle there's a big play they were looking for out to the 45-yard line georgia with a blitz tua delivers to judy ball is out but he got on top of it for the first down going deep again it's intercepted by j.r reed made up the throw he's throwing the ball number 17 waddle the ball is poorly thrown did you see how waddle had to stop for the ball that's when reed was able to close and make the play a poor throw by tula and a second interception by georgia [Applause] [Music] touchdown alabama keep shooting i'm due 51 yards right there it is [Applause] steps into it throws a dart complete and it's rugs again [Music] [Applause] it out a sweep to stanley and stanley down the sideline and then certain almost a helmet to helmet there and now nicole hardman goes in motion the other way front rolls throws late and it's caught by ridley doing a good job second and 12. play action look one way come back to the middle complete across the 31st down to devonta smith josh jacobs in motion fires in and out of the hands of ruggs had to go airborne to try to pull that down and two is down again well this time it looks like he's holding that right knee doesn't he i can't tell well either can i but i was guessing jalen hurts is starting to warm up i didn't see the end of the play here until now oh williams got stepped on by jonah williams as he threw how ironic would this be if jalen hurts has to come in to play quarterback yes well he's expecting to and that doesn't look good at all he spent a lot of time in the tent in the first half and he's going back to the tent i can guarantee you and that means jalen hurts the guy who won all but two of the games that he started and was replaced at halftime of the national championship game on january 8th comes in to take over for the guy that won that game and he had a brutal first half in the national championship game he struggled in the iron bowl he struggled against clemson he had a brutal first half i think he was over three if my memory serves me right he was three out of eight for the game did run for 47 yards though and jalen hurts has got to throw it here three wide outs to the top of your screen jalen getting some pressure down the middle he throws a strike to irv schmidt for the first down sometimes when you're a good teammate and a good guy the world of the game finds you again remember how he stood there and cheered his teammate he stayed when everybody thought he would transfer third and five for him here georgia brings the extra man hertz trying to run away from the heat lofts one on the sideline is it caught by waddle yes what a story the whole offseason is tyler clark number 52 puts the pressure right up the middle caitlin gets kaelin gets away remember scc media days brad we were asked the question a hundred times will jaylen hurst stay in alabama he's in there right now trying to draw even with georgia to the alabama locker room pump fake by hertz wants to come back the other way he's going to run for it now and he's got enough speed to get that much and he's got his team in the red zone damian harris up the middle harris for nine more inside the ten hurts [Applause] sets his feet now starts to use his feet throws on the run touchdown on judy what a play comes out comes in and then pointed and then runs back out for the play and jalen hurts puts it right there 80 yards and 16 plays jalen hurts a remarkable story it's tied at 28. ocean across the field blitz coming from alabama from trying to loft one to swift and he got it to him and swift down the sideline cuts back to the 50. from looking left the whole way throws broken up jake camarda and it's a fake justin fields oh my gosh it was fourth and 11. alabama's gonna take over at the 48-yard line to say the least [Applause] and he threw for the touch set to throw here too if he can get it away georgia coming after him he breaks away he's still running almost dropped the ball but he crossed midfield before crowder brought him down hertz throws down the middle and he's got it to irv smith who dropped the ball but covered it that's the third time alabama has recovered to fumble their own fumble in this game but how about the poise of jalen hurts good pocket good protection and a perfect throw 19 to the 31. jalen hurts looking for more going to the far sideline he's got waddle again breaks out perfect throw gets to the right guy over time just inside the 16 quarterback draw jalen hurts touchdown [Music] are you kidding me alabama leads last year it was jalen huggin tua this year it's tua huggin jalen [Applause] i like both teams fans are in shock boulevard's extra point is good with a minute and four seconds remaining in the ball game alabama leads by a touchdown it was a called quarterback draw similar to the play when he scored against clemson when he left the field with the lead although deshawn watson [Applause] going to throw in the flats to deandre swift he can make something happen he got eight yards deep drop waits fires on a crossing rod to god when he got the first down backfield watch him go deep he's not gonna get it going anywhere time out good time out by kirby smart lebron ray with a sack [Applause] spins the ball back there and he's going deep right now double coverage broken up at the goal line ridley the intended receiver and that means now they're down to one throw and have one second left front throws gonna have to hurry not gonna get out of bounds first down but there's three seconds left they have time to take a timeout now and then throw to the end zone [Applause] [Music] georgia fans hoping for a prayer it'll be a three-man rush and it'll be terry godwin to the left riley ridley and hardman to the right and all the way back it's matt wilson he's the last player the last defender the middle linebacker and the last play of the game from's in trouble can even get a pass away loads goes to the end zone jump ball incomplete and alabama has won it [Applause] your 2018 scc champions come from tuscaloosa and two old friends embrace out at midfield after a battle that lasted and lasted and almost went to overtime a second time [Applause] [Music] another heartbreaking setback for georgia jubilation on the alabama sideline once again the winning coaches with jamie coach what words do you have about jalen hurts and what he just did for your team right now well we've always had a lot of faith in jalen and you know i told him when we put him in when tua got hurt it's your time and he certainly took advantage of it did a fantastic job i'm so proud of this guy for what he's done this year i can't even tell you great comeback for our team showed tremendous amount of resiliency you know in the game uh we didn't play great but we won the sec today and we're so happy about that after he goes in what else sparked that turnaround for jalen and this offense well you know we got a couple stops on defense we were struggling all right and you know the offenses kept going out there and playing and we made some plays and we knew we could make them we just had to make them and we did when you saw your team play the way they did in the first half did you know exactly what needed to be done to pull this one off tonight yeah we we had to make some adjustments on a couple formations they had us a little messed up on and we got the players straight on that and played a little better in the second half all right i'm gonna talk to this young man right here coach thank you jalen when you see tua go down a couple times tonight but for the final time what did that moment feel like for you when you went back under center um i honestly didn't know what to think you know all year i kind of been waiting on my opportunity um and regardless of how i went you know my opportunity came today and worked hard really weak this week with my teammates and we found a way to get it done today you put that drive together on the winning touchdown what had the game unfolded and looked like to you on the sideline that made you know that you could pull this one off well i know at alabama there's always an opportunity to win we worked so hard in the offseason you know blood sweat and tears together and today we found a way to get it done i'm so happy happy for everybody congratulations i'm not sure i've ever seen nick saban emotional he got choked up talking about the number two how could he not a guy that stayed an extra year when all of us experts thought that he would look for another place to land and show his talent somewhere else he stuck it out he proved that he could we all knew he could play he was the sec player of the year two years ago what a combination tua didn't have his great game but his backup came through
