No. 4 Alabama fights back for win after squandering own 28-point lead to No. 2 Georgia in instant classic

The game everyone had circled on their calendars lived up to the hype, and some.

Saturday's Alabama-Georgia contest was a rematch of last season's SEC title game, which Bama won as the eighth-ranked team in the country - Georgia had been ranked No. 1 after winning 42 of their previous 43 games, but Bama's victory propelled them into the College Football Playoff, and knocked Georgia out.

Well, it was simply epic.

After squandering their own four-touchdown lead, No. 4 Alabama scored a late touchdown to come away with a 41-34 win over No. 2 Georgia in an instant classic.

Alabama scored four touchdowns in the first 18 minutes of the game to take a commanding 28-0 lead, but Georgia fought all the way back. Trailing 33-15, Georgia found the end zone when they desperately needed it, but failed the two-point attempt. However, after forcing a punt, the Bulldogs scored again, and all of a sudden, Bama's lead shrunk to just four points. Georgia then forced another punt, all while Bama did not waste the clock, getting the ball back for a shot at the lead with 2:42 to go and all their timeouts.

Well, it only took one play for Georgia to take the lead, as Carson Beck found Dillon Bell for a 67-yard score to go up, 34-33. Beck's rush on the two-point conversion was short, but nonetheless, the comeback was complete, and Bama, who had dominated early, suddenly was in desperation mode.

No worries - it was the 17-year-old, Ryan Williams, who took a 75-yard pass from Jalen Milroe to the house, and after a successful two-point conversion, Bama was back up seven points.

The Bulldogs faced a 4th and 2 with 1:22 to go at the Bama 47, and Beck found Colbie Young for the first down, and three plays later, the Bulldogs were in the red zone. But, Beck was intercepted after going in the end zone, and with the touchback, Bama was able to knee out the clock to get the victory.

Georgia finally scored a touchdown midway through the second quarter. However, Beck was called for an intentional grounding in his own end zone, resulting in a safety later on. But apparently, despite trailing 30-7, all Georgia needed was halftime.

Beck found Arian Smith for a 12-yard touchdown for the first score of the third quarter. They took a big risk in going for two, but it was successful. A Bama field goal, though, made it a three-possession game late in the third. On Georgia’s ensuing drive, Beck lost a fumble. But they weren't dead, and the comeback began on their next drive. However, they couldn't get a stop when they needed it most, and Beck's final turnover came at the worst time.

The game is Georgia's first loss of the season, and after losing just one in a 43-game stretch, they've now lost two in their last five. They are 45-3 in their last 48 games, but all three losses have come to Alabama (although, one of those victories is the national championship in 2022 against the Crimson Tide). Bama, meanwhile, improved to 4-0.

Milroe finished with 373 yards on 27-for-33 passing, throwing two touchdowns and running for another two. The 17-year-old Williams made sx catches for 177 yards and a touchdown. Beck turned the ball over four times, but still managed to throw for 439 yards. Smith went for 132 yards, while Bell added 100.

The game was also headlined by Donald Trump’s appearance. The former president, and current Republican nominee, received an ovation from fans while walking in the halls and when he was shown on the jumbotron.

Alabama will head to Vanderbilt next week, while the Bulldogs will host Auburn.

Naomi Campbell banned from charity role after investigation found funds were spent on hotels, spas, cigarettes

Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee in England and Wales for five years after an investigation into her charitable organization uncovered evidence of financial misconduct.

On Thursday, the Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, released a report following a three-year inquiry into the 54-year-old British supermodel's charity Fashion For Relief, which determined that the organization was "poorly governed and had inadequate financial management."

The Charity Commission reported that it found "multiple instances of misconduct and / or mismanagement" at Fashion For Relief and discovered only 8.5% of its overall spending went toward charitable grants and causes from April 2016 to July 2022.

In addition, the investigation identified that some of Fashion For Relief's expenditures were "not reasonable. It revealed that thousands of pounds in charitable funds were spent on a luxury hotel stay for Campbell in Cannes, France, including spa treatments, room service and cigarettes. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to a representative for Campbell for comment.

On Friday, Campbell responded to the Charity Commission's findings, which she said were "deeply flawed" in a statement to the PA news agency, via CBS News.

"First of all, I recognize that, as the face of Fashion for Relief, I am ultimately responsible for its conduct," Campbell said. "Unfortunately, I was not involved in the day-to-day operations of the organization, and I entrusted the legal and operational management to others."

The Vogue cover star added that she has "instructed new advisers to undertake a detailed investigation of what transpired."

Additionally, Campbell told the Associated Press that "everything I do and every penny I ever raised goes to charity."

The Charity Commission also found that fellow Fashion for Relief trustee Bianka Hellmich received around 290,000 pounds ($385,000) of unauthorized funds for consultancy services, which was in breach of the charity’s constitution. She has been disqualified as a trustee for nine years. The other trustee, Veronica Chou, was barred for four years.

Fashion for Relief, which was founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, was dissolved and removed from the register of charities in March. 

On its website, which is still active, the charity said that it presented fashion initiatives and projects in New York, London, Cannes, Moscow, Mumbai and Dar es Salaam, raising more than $15 million for good causes around the world.

The charity had been set up with the aim of uniting the fashion industry to relieve poverty and advance health and education, by making grants to other organizations and giving resources towards global disasters.

The commission said that around 344,000 pounds ($460,000) has been recovered and that a further 98,000 pounds of charitable funds have been protected. These funds were used to make donations to two other charities and settle outstanding liabilities.
