Track with the live scoring, measurements, in depth and virtual entertainment posts as the Georgia Bulldogs take on the Alabama Ruby Tide in Tuscaloosa.

END OF SECOND QUARTER

Alabama 30, Georgia 7

Georgia ball -- Backed up against his own end zone and facing third-and-long, a rattled Beck is swarmed by the Bama defense and is called for intentional grounding after heaving a desperation pass nowhere near a receiver. Since Beck would have gone down in the end zone had he not done so, officials correctly rule that it is a safety, padding the Tide's lead even further with 1:39 left in the second quarter. Alabama 30, Georgia 7.

Alabama ball -- Milroe makes his first mistake of the night, throwing a ball slightly behind his receiver near the goal line. It bounces off the receiver and into the hands of a UGA defender for an interception, giving the ball right back to the Dawgs.

Georgia ball -- The Dawgs are left deflated again when on the first play after their first huge defensive stop of the game, Beck throws the ball right into the hands of LB Jihaad Campbell for a crippling interception with 2:50 left in the opening half. 

Alabama ball -- The Tide is stopped on fourth-and-1, giving UGA the ball back in decent field position with a chance to possibly cut into its three-TD deficiit before halftime.

Trevor Etienne in for six.

Georgia ball --The Bulldogs finally get on the board with a score of their own, driving 75 yards in 11 plays over 5:41 to score on a 7-yard run by RB Etienne. An apparent successful two-point conversion is wiped out by yet another UGA penalty, however, on a offensive pass interference call. The penalty forces the Dawgs to settle for kicking a PAT, but at least Uga the mascot FINALLY has something to smile about -- at least for a fleeting moment.  Alabama 28, Georgia 7.
