True freshman Ryan Williams put on a show Saturday, and he had a glaring message to go along with it.

The Alabama receiver is only 17 years old, but he looked like a veteran superstar against No. 2 Georgia on Saturday night.

Williams caught six passes for 177 yards and a touchdown for the second-seeded Crimson Tide in their epic 41-34 win over Georgia in a rematch of last season’s SEC title game.

After he made an impressive 54-yard grab, the cameras zoomed in on him and caught a stern message on his eye tape.

Williams had written the words “KILL EVERYBODY” in white marker on his black ribbon.

Somewhat ironically, he (not literally) killed Georgia, as his 75-yard touchdown run was the game-winner, despite Alabama squandering its own 28-point lead.

TRUMP ARRIVES AT ALABAMA-GEORGIA GAME SINGING “USA”, “FOUR MORE YEARS”

Williams was the hero after Alabama suddenly found itself in desperation mode. Alabama allowed Georgia to score a 67-yard touchdown to fall within one point, but it only took one play from Jalen Milroe to Williams to regain the lead.

The Bulldogs faced a 4th-and-2 with 1:22 left at the Bama 47, and Carson Beck found Colbie Young for the first down. Three plays later, the Bulldogs were in the red zone. But Beck was intercepted after entering the end zone, and with the touchback, Bama was able to bring down the clock to earn the victory.

This was Georgia’s third loss since the 2021 season, all against Alabama – it should be noted that the Bulldogs beat Bama in the 2022 national championship.

Bama improved to 4-0 with the win, and now it’s a question of whether they’ll be ranked second or third in the polls.
