Alabama jumped out to a huge lead over Georgia on Saturday night and then had to rally in the final minutes to get a wild 41-34 victory at home in what was easily the best college football game of the young season.
Nick Saban was at the game, his first Alabama-Georgia showdown since retiring after last season. The legendary former coach was working the game for ESPN and was able to enjoy the action from a luxury suite at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
ESPN's cameras caught Saban looking at his phone at one point during the game, which led to lots of jokes from college football fans.
