2022 CFP National Championship, #3 Georgia vs #1 Alabama (Highlights)

It's always disappointing to lose in the national championship game, especially against a team you have previously beaten by three scores. But I still think this Alabama team overachieved given how young and inexperienced they were. All season, Saban was making comments that made it seem like he didn't believe this team had what it takes to win the title, but this game was very much in reach until the very end.

The main thing that hurt Alabama all season and killed them in this game was the one-dimensional offense. They could never establish a consistent running game and the passing game really only ran through two receivers, both of whom were missing after the first quarter in this game. Outside of Metchie and Williams, it is really shocking how limited Alabama's talent was at receiver. We first saw that in the Iron Bowl, when Williams went out and the offense started giving us flashbacks to 2004. There were an unbelievable number of drops in this game - I can't remember any game where I've seen more. You can't make those kinds of mistakes against a great defense like Georgia. The portal has resolved some of the off field and locker room issues Alabama had in that position group last year, so hopefully that will combine with more experience to create a better outcome this year.

The secondary was another problem all season that was further exacerbated by injuries. Georgia really did a great favor to Alabama by seeming determined to win it on the ground. For some reason, it took their coaching staff 7.5 quarters to realize that pass coverage was the defense's weakness, and that slow response massively hurt Georgia in the SEC championship and nearly cost them the rematch as well. Once they finally put that together, they started moving the ball at will.

While 2021 was a rebuilding year for Alabama, almost all of the key pieces returned for 2022. They also added some big names in the transfer portal. 13-2, SEC champion and national runner-up exceeded expectations for 2021, but 15-0 should be the expectation for 2022.

And still the Bama fans are crying

The end of Saban's run.

This was one of the best games ive seen

Back to Back, see you in Atlanta this year? Right?

Go Dawgs

Oh TCU!! What could’ve been! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ah Jermaine Burton. Left to get his name out there but instead of it being known as SEC Champ and Back to Back Champions he’s known for hitting a woman after losing. Way to go!

This was a great game...... should have been the same matchup in 2023..... TCU was awful

These refs clearly got some calls wrong ,but the DAWGS prevailed

When Jamison Williams went down in that 2nd qtr, Georgia completely game-changed their defense, bc Alabama had no deep threat(Williams and Metchie were out); that injury was the game-changer Georgia needed to win.....

As much as the refs tried to give this game to Bama..it was meant to be that my Dawgs won

Mad respect to kirby. Man helped up byrce young right after byrce just gave the game away when his own team left him sitting. Go dawgs!

He looks miserable and lonely

A program like bama should be able to replace a WR and win. Still had Heisman winner and stout defense

The Beginning of a Bulldog Dynasty.

Sucks Jameson got injured. Gave Georgia a title with that injury.

The injury hurt but u just can’t complain about that forever. This game was lost because no one stepped up and took Jamo or Metchie’s place. This game was lost because our reserve receivers couldn’t make plays when their number was called (cough cough Agiye Hall). But credit to Georgia they had a good team.

Metchie and Williams were missed Hall dropping that 3rd down catch killed Bama

Refs might as well have been wearing burgundy this game

Georgia boyz

Joseph put down the champagne, they’re calling that back because Alabama

bama still ass

Who cares! A couple of slave states in the conference of Confederates!

How was stetson's a fumble and young's wasn't?

Refs tried desperately to hand this game to Alabama, Georgia wasn’t having it.

The Georgia Bulldogs Beat Bama with a 2 Star walk-on Quarter back!! Blazing a Trail for a Back to Back National CHAMPIONSHIPS! Goooooo Dawgs!!! Sic'em!!!

The Night the Dynasty died. RIP Alabama Football

The refs did EVERYTHING to hand alabama a win

"The biggest 3rd down" of Bryce Youngs career still brings a tear to my eye!

Watching this 2 years later. I forgot how horrible the refs were. A lot of those calls were quite suspect. Even with all the BS calls the Dawgs still pulled out the W

Who said " offence sells tickets, defence wins championships". I guess Georgia listened to the great one.

That was way better then that TCU clown show!

UGA really beat two great teams back to back to become National Champions with Bam and Ohio State. This was a great game

All trash talk aside I'm a georgia fan so I was glad to finally beat the tide this is what it looks like when nfl talent plays each other this game was much closer than what the final score showed I will cherish this win more than the tcu win simply because georgia beat the king of the sport to hit the mountain top as much as other fans hate it I hope to see another Georgia Alabama national championship both of those games were amazing

this game here proves georgia threw that game vs bama in the se championship, they knew they would have to play bama again in the playoff. no sense in showing a team all your cards if you have to play them again in the near future and in the playoff.

Georgia is the new standard in college football!!! Go Dawgs!!!!

Bama forgot to throw in a new qb at the end

This is video proof of referees obviously intentionally making up penalties on teams

The refs helped bama the best they could. But not good enough! GO DAWGS

Yes sir

In this National Championship game, Georgia out played, out Coached Alabama mainly the second half of the game. And Georgia Bulldogs Won! Even with a lot of bad calls during the first half of the game.

Man this really was a great game. I had forgotten that it was all FG's for most of it until the end.

Fraudgia had the help of the refs with “little fat” Kirby trying to act tough. Losers 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
