TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Wayne Hamilton (Leesburg High School, Okahumpka Florida) recovered two fumbles and Buddy Holt punted Georgia to death as tenth ranked Alabama defeated the Bulldogs 18-10 in a Southeastern Conference football game Saturday.
The victory avenged a 21-0 loss to Georgia that knocked Alabama out of the SEC title a year ago and gave the Crimson Tide a 3-1 mark. It was Alabama's 40th victory in a row at Tuscaloosa over the past 14 years.
Georgia is now 2-2.
Hamilton recovered Georgia fumbles at the Bulldog 22 and 12. Roger Chapman kicked two of his three field goals after the recoveries to put the Tide ahead 15-3 in the third period.
Georgia fought back to 15-10, Willie McClendon scored from the seven early in the fourth period. Chapman later made it 18-10 and Ricky Tucker intercepted for Alabama to stop a Georgia threat at the 18 in the last minute.
Holt kept the Bulldogs back up with his accurate toe, putting the ball dead twice on the one and once on the four.
The Tide got a safety after the first one when Mike Garrett, trying to punt from the backside of the end zone dropped the snap.
