ATHENS —Jermaine Burton has moved on after helping Georgia win a national championship, his sights set on another title with his new team at Alabama.

Burton transferred to play for the Tide less than two weeks after playing a significant role in the Bulldogs beating them, 33-18, in the CFP Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

It was Burton who sparked what proved to be the game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter with Georgia trailing 18-13 and 10:14 left.
