Alabama is once again the king of college football.

It took four hours of craziness, though. And it wouldn't have happened without this special true freshman quarterback who showed just how special he is Monday night during this wild 26-23 overtime win over Georgia.

Tua time

Alabama made the change at halftime.

After Jalen Hurts went just 3 of 8 for 21 yards during a first half that ended with Georgia leading 13-0, the Crimson Tide turned to Tua Tagovailoa.

He provided an immediate spark and led four second half scoring drives -- and it would have been five if not for Andy Pappanastos missing what would have been a game-winning field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter.

And then came overtime, when Tagovailoa delivered a throw that you'll see replays of for probably the rest of your life, a 41-yard game-winning scoring pass to fellow freshman Devonta Smith.

Defense steps up late

After giving up 333 yards and 20 first downs during the first three quarters, Alabama's defense stepped up late.

The Tide held the Bulldogs to zero points, 41 yards and just two first downs in the fourth quarter and then to just a field goal in overtime in setting the stage for Tagovailoa to win the game with that touchdown pass to Smith.

Former assistants still winless against Saban

Kirby Smart nearly became the first.

In the end, though, former Saban assistants are now 0-12 all-time against their former boss.

Freshmen contributions

It wasn't just Tagovailoa and Smith.

Tagovailoa's roommate, freshman running back Najee Harris, was a big part of the second half comeback. So was freshman tackle Alex Leatherwood, who stepped in at left tackle after Jonah Williams left with an injury.

Harris ran for 64 yards on six carries during the second half after not receiving a single carry in the first half.
