Ryan Williams makes wild, circus-style catch in Georgia-Alabama showdown
Ryan Williams made one of the best plays you’ll see all day in the third quarter against Georgia on Saturday night.
After the Bulldogs scored to cut it to a 2-possession game, the pressure was put on Alabama to respond with points of its own. Williams delivered with a circus-style catch to give the Crimson Tide a 54-yard gain — and to put them back in the red zone for yet another scoring opportunity.
Here’s a replay of Williams’ wild catch:

Alabama ended up settling for a field goal later in the drive to make it a 33-15 game. While the Crimson Tide surely would have loved to found the end zone, a field goal was enough to push this to a 3-possession game late in the third quarter.
For Williams, it’s just another highlight moment for the 17-year-old who entered the night as Alabama’s leading receiver. A former 5-star prospect, Williams entered this game with 10 catches for 285 yards and 4 touchdowns on the year. Those stats lead all Alabama receivers in every category.
