Alabama QB Keelon Russell’s Unexpected Gesture After Heartbreaking Loss to Georgia Sparks Widespread Admiration
Georgia won in Tuscaloosa for the first time under head coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs hadn’t won there since Matthew Stafford was the quarterback of the Bulldogs in 2007.
Russell nearly led Alabama to a win in the game Saturday night, but ultimately the Crimson Tide came up short. Stockton was able to make a few more plays for his Georgia squad.
“(Russell) twice scrambled for long runs to extend drives and finished with 41 rushing yards. But he completed only 16 of 30 passes and was sacked on a crucial third down that pushed the Tide back from the Georgia 34 when a field goal could have knotted things at 20. Alabama didn’t score a touchdown in the second half, and both of its fourth quarter drives ended in punts. Russell is a special talent who will have lots of bright moments, but he hasn’t played in nearly as many big moments as Stockton, and it looked like it at times Saturday,” The Athletic wrote.
