Alabama has unveiled its players of the game after Week 5’s wild 41-34 win over Georgia, the Crimson Tide’s eighth win over the Bulldogs in the last nine outings.
Ryan Williams, unsurprisingly, was named one of the Tide’s offensive players of the game after his 6-catch, 177-yard performance, including his jaw-dropping 75-yard touchdown with just over 2 minutes remaining in the contest. The 17-year-old true freshman has 16 catches for 462 yards and 5 touchdowns through the first 4 games of his college career.
Another unsurprising offensive selection: Jalen Milroe, who boosted his Heisman Trophy candidacy with a 27-for-33, 374-yard, 2-touchdown passing performance. He also had 116 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground.
Defensively, Domani Jackson received player of the week honors as he posted 7 tackles for the evening. Zabien Brown (6 tackles) and Qua Russaw (2 tackles, 1.0 sacks) were among the other player of the week selections on that side of the ball.
