Georgia Beats Alabama 20-17 in SEC Clash at Tuscaloosa

Georgia secured a 20-17 victory over Alabama on Saturday night, Oct. 10, 2026, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as No. 2 Georgia used a strong rushing performance and two touchdowns from Gunnar Stockton to defeat No. 6 Alabama.

According to the Associated Press report published by thestar.com, Dwight Phillips Jr. rushed for 120 yards while Bo Walker added 69 yards for Georgia. Stockton scored once through the air and once on the ground to account for both Georgia touchdowns.

The win strengthened Georgia's position in the national rankings discussion after the Bulldogs defeated an Alabama team that entered the matchup ranked No. 6. The SEC game remained scheduled despite Hurricane Isaias reaching the U.S. Gulf Coast, according to thespec.com.

Georgia's victory came after President Donald Trump canceled plans to attend the game in Tuscaloosa. Trump explained the decision in a social media post on Friday.

"Based on the fact that a huge Hurricane/Storm is coming, it is important to have our wonderful First Responders, Law Enforcement, and others, focused on that Storm, and in no way be thinking about the safety, or presence, of the President of the United States, ME!" said Donald Trump.

The SEC matchup featured two unbeaten teams competing in a key conference game. The Associated Press reported that Georgia entered the contest as No. 2 while Alabama was ranked No. 6.
