2021 SEC Football Championship Game | No. 3 Alabama 41, No. 1 Georgia 24
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA. December 4, 2021

Bryce Young authored one of the most electric individual performances in SEC Championship Game history, throwing for 421 yards and three touchdowns while adding 40 rushing yards and a rushing score as third-ranked Alabama stunned top-ranked and previously undefeated Georgia 41 to 24, a result that flipped the script on a season Georgia had dominated to that point.

The game turned into a rout almost as soon as it began. Young set an SEC Championship Game record for first-half passing yards with 286, igniting the explosion with a 67-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams, the longest play Georgia had allowed all season. He followed with a 13-yard touchdown pass to John Metchie, set up a Will Reichard field goal, and then capped the quarter himself with a 13-yard touchdown run with just 26 seconds left in the half. The eruption made Alabama the only team all season to score more than two touchdowns against Georgia, a defense that had allowed only 29 total points across all 12 regular-season games.

Alabama kept the pressure on to start the second half, as Williams hauled in another long touchdown pass, this one covering 55 yards. Georgia, playing from a deep hole for the first time all year, tried to answer. Quarterback Stetson Bennett threw two interceptions, including a pick-six by Jordan Battle, but the Bulldogs still managed to cut into the deficit, pulling within 38- 24 with 7:15 remaining before a critical fourth-down stop and a late Alabama field goal put the game away.

Young's final line, 421 passing yards and three passing touchdowns plus 40 rushing yards and a score, set new SEC Championship Game records for both passing and total offense. Nick Saban leaned into the underdog storyline afterward, telling reporters his team had been fed a steady diet of doubt heading into the week, joking that this particular batch of rat poison tasted pretty good. The win sent both teams into the four-team College Football Playoff, where Georgia got its revenge, beating Alabama 33- 18 in the national championship game to claim the program's first title since 1980.
