Ty Simpson passed for 276 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score as No. 17 Alabama held on late to beat No. 5 Georgia 24-21 on Saturday night and hand the Bulldogs their first home loss in six years. Alabama has won three straight since opening the season with a 31-17 loss at Florida State.

Alabama's first game away from home didn't go well. That puts much on the line for No. 17 Alabama when it visits No. 5 Georgia on Saturday night. The Crimson Tide's 31-17 season-opening loss at Florida State on August 30 left coach Kalen DeBoer's team with little margin for error. Alabama needs a win over Georgia (3-0, 1-0) to protect its College Football Playoff hopes.

Alabama got a little help in the AP Top 25 after defeating Wisconsin thirty eight to fourteen. Ohio State, Penn State and LSU are still the top three teams in Week 4 of the AP Top 25 poll.

Ty Simpson threw for 382 yards and four touchdowns, including two to returning star Ryan Williams, and number nineteen ranked Alabama overpowered Wisconsin for the second consecutive year.

A key playmaker for Wisconsin may or may not take the field as the Badgers prepare to visit No. 19 Alabama on Sunday, coach Luke Fickell said.

Alabama hasn't looked the same since coach Nick Saban's retirement. It raises speculation about the future of his replacement, Kalen DeBoer. The eighth-ranked Crimson Tide have dropped three of their last four games following a 31-17 loss at Florida State on Saturday, a game in which the Seminoles bullied Alabama on both sides of the ball.

New quarterback Tommy Castellanos led a punishing rushing attack for Florida State with 78 yards and a touchdown as the Seminoles stunned No. 8 Alabama 31-17 on Saturday, ending the Crimson Tide's streak of 23 straight wins in season openers.

Number eight ranked Alabama might be without starting guard Jaeden Roberts for its season opener at Florida State on Saturday. The latest from head coach Kalen DeBoer is that Roberts is still in a concussion protocol. Roberts, a fifth-year senior who has started 21 games over the past two seasons, missed the last two weeks of practice.

One Alabama linebacker knows he only has one chance remaining.This player is entering his fifth and final college season, a last ride with the eighth-ranked Crimson Tide that means even more after what he endured last November. Lawson tore a ligament in his knee in a loss to Oklahoma and has spent every waking moment since working his way back.
