The biggest game of the season so far delivered in a big way.
No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, up 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting their way back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after trading leads late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the win with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams, and then an interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.
The No. 8 Ducks win their Big Ten opener against an ex-Pac-12 foe.

Alabama leads Georgia 33-15, late 3rd.
But here's another angle of Ryan Williams' wild catch that set up the field goal.
The Nittany Lions are piecing together a solid drive here and are nearing the red zone. A two-score lead would feel insurmountable based off how this game has played out thus far.

PSU forces punt
The Nittany Lions defense just won't budge. With just over 12 minutes left in the game, Penn State has the ball back.

Turnover on downs for Penn State!
What a huge stop by Illinois. The momentum had turned on the Illini but a stop on fourth-and-3 at their own 17-yard line might change things with the third quarter winding down.
It was a bold call by James Franklin, and the stop opens the door back up for Illinois in a close one.
Back from halftime, Georgia starts with the ball and goes nowhere.
It's a punt after a sack on 3rd and long.

PSU forces punt
Beaver Stadium is rocking now and Illinois can't find its rhythm. That possession at the end of the first half appears to have changed the momentum in this game.
It'll be Penn State ball near midfield.

Touchdown Penn State!
Illinois and Penn State are back for the second half and the Nittany Lions just had a statement drive to restart things, driving 74 yards in 12 plays and finishing it off with a four-yard run by Nicholas Singleton to take the lead.
Alabama completely owned that first half, and there was some pushing and shoving between a bunch of players right before they went to the locker room. Bama called for an unsportsmanlike penalty that will be enforced in the 3rd quarter.

Once again, Georgia can't take advantage of a positive play. Bulldogs get an interception after CJ Dippre bobbles the pass from Jalen Milroe.
A few plays later, Georgia QB Carson Beck is called for intentional grounding from his own end zone. It's a safety by rule. Two more points for the Tide, who now lead 30-7.
The Illini are likely going to be seething after blowing that late possession at the end of the half. They have a real shot to go into the break up 14-7. Instead, it's still tied up and PSU will get the ball first in the second half.

Alabama gets another INT!
Painful sequence for Georgia, which just got a big defensive stop on 4th and 1.
Carson Beck throws an interception to Jihaad Campbell on the very next play and Bama is back in business.
That's two picks for Beck, who is having a brutal day so far.
Oh my goodness. The Illini just had a disastrous finish to a possession after they'd worked it all the way down to the goal line. A shotgun snap flew high, but they were able to recover it. But Illinois just kept going backwards with penalties and ultimately settled on a 45-yard field goal attempt, which David Olano missed.
Bret Bielema and Co. won't be happy about how that possession ended. There's under a minute left in the half.
