Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson (15) is pressured by Georgia linebacker CJ Allen (3) on a pass attempt by Simpson during the fourth quarter in their NCAA football game in the SEC Championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025, in Atlanta. Georgia won 28-7. (Jason Getz / AJC)
The Georgia defense that couldn’t pressure the quarterback and was weak in the secondary, that was scorched by Tennessee and suffered death by third-down conversion against Alabama — that substandard group was nowhere to be found Saturday on the premises of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“I feel like everybody was out there just trying to make plays (by themselves) last time we played (Alabama),” Georgia linebacker Raylen Wilson said. “This time, I feel like we rushed more as a unit, so there was really nowhere to go.”
