Alabama SURVIVES then THROTTLES Kentucky! Crimson Tide CONCERNS Now? · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, Crimson Tide fans? College football is just weird,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's mainly because of the emotions that you will
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: feel in a span of 60 seconds that you will
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: never feel in any other part of your life. And
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you down in Tuscaloosa, you that root for the Crimson
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and White, have felt this since the beginning of the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Kalen DeBoer era. Because in one moment, you were screaming
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: at your television, good God, so undisciplined, how the hell
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: are we playing this bad in football? Can we please
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: bring back a segment of Saban? And in the next breath,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you're coasting your way to a dominant victory on the road,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and And it's largely because of that defense. Hedlund, McCain, Womack.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: That looked like a vintage Saban defense. As Alabama secures
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a 45-17 victory on the road over Kentucky at Kroger Field.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: A place that has been a house of horrors for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: teams in the past. And what's the big takeaway in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this matchup? Well, make sure you like the video, hit

• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the big takeaway in this game? Alabama's defense is good
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: enough to keep you around. That's just the bottom line.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Alabama's offense was pitiful in the first half. They couldn't
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: run the football to save their life. The offensive line
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was slower than molasses on a hot July day. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell looked like a freshman quarterback. making his first
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: road start in SEC competition. Just a recipe for disaster
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in a house of horrors known as Kroger Field that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: has always been a struggle place for contenders in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: SEC early on in the season. And if you don't
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: believe me, go back two years ago, week three, when
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: all you needed was a fourth down conversion from Brock Vandergriff,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and we were talking a lot differently about a Georgia
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: football team and Mark Stoots being able to say, I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: dropped it one last time. That's not the point here.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The point is that this was a game that everyone
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: thought had trap written all over it. But Alabama's defense
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: showed on up. They get a massive pick six after
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to respond from the Keelan Russell pick six on Kenny Minchey.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And they make this a one score affair. Yes, they
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: did give up the touchdown to Henry Boyer. Yes, they
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: did give up a few extra plays here and there. Yes,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they did allow Kentucky to be able to score late
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to be able to go up by four at half.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But then you got to talk about the second half.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And Alabama's defense said, you know what, if we have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to make this a one-score affair and we got to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: go ahead and basically go remember the Titans blitz all night,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that is what we are going to do. And they did.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Alabama in the second half held Kentucky to 56 total yards,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: zero points. They forced two turnovers, and they had two
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: turnovers on downs, including one that was on a dumb...
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Big punt for some reason. I get you, Will Stein,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you want to try something new, but that's not the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: point here. And you were able to hold them to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: 11 minutes and 27 seconds of time of possession. Alabama
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: straight up dominated, and that is a testament to Cain Woolman.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: The version of the Alabama defense that you saw today
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is eerily reminiscent of what was the backbone of a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban-led team in the past. where you would win
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, where you would force them to live
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in third and long, where you would take away the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: passing attack, you would force them to work their way
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to the outside to get to the safeties that they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: would make plays. Bray Hubbard did that. Caleb Woodson has
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: been phenomenal. More on him in a second. But Alabama's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: defense corralled Kenny Minchey into looking like a true starter
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in his second career start against a Power 14. First
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: career start against a Power 14. Alabama's defense did exactly
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: what you want to see. They finished the afternoon with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: six total tackles for losses and four sacks in the day.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Caleb Woodson, my guy, has been absolutely on fire. Led
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the team with 12 tackles, but the guy had two sacks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: An incredible delayed blitz that allowed him to make a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: critical stop. Not to mention Devin Tompkins coming up the middle.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: The USC transfer, he may be from the West Coast,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: but he fits into that Alabama style of defensive play
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that you want to see that is so reminiscent of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the past. And they were able to go ahead and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get a forced turnover, short field position. Lo and behold,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell, not even you and Ryan Grubb could find
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a way to mess this thing on up. You did
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: your job. Alabama's defense showed on up in a critical moment,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: knowing that their offense was going to be very limited
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: after a horrendous start. And they said, we got you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And that is what good teams do. That is what
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: good teams are able to show you on a constant
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: basis that when one side of the football isn't able
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to hold up, it's another bargain. They pick you on up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Tip of the cap to Cain Womack. Tip of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: cap to what you've seen from these young players, especially
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in the front seven. Tip of the cap to what
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you've seen from veterans like Keyon Savin coverage, Red Morgan
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: making plays. What you got from Chase McDonald. And how
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: about this? Yonze Pierre with another damn good game. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Jair Edwards with the delayed blitz. What an absolute play
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to begin the fourth quarter. And that was the moment,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I think, where everyone kind of took a giant exhale
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out in Tuscaloosa and said, you know what? This place
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is definitely going to be a house of horrors. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we got this one locked up. We don't really need
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to worry about that much. Alabama played better in the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: second half. Alabama dominated in the second half, and it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: largely because of what their defense was able to accomplish
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to really be able to set the tone moving into
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the final 30 minutes. If they had any other unit
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: out there, this could have been a completely different story,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: but instead you saw, once again, Alabama hold its own.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Six tackles for loss, four sacks, three pass breakups. They
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: only allowed one touchdown on the day, and they have
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a massive pick six from Luke Mertz to begin the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: first half. everything that really you want to see. That's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: something that you got to hold your hat on if
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're being completely real.
• 5:34

  Speaker 2: All of the conference football addictions, college football addiction, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of course, the power too.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: All right, back to the clip. Alabama offensively has got
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: some things to work on. Now, the good news is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you're going up against a Florida State team next week
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: before you welcome on in South Carolina in week four.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Florida State had 130 passing yards or fewer against SMU
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and won the turnover battle and still found a way
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to lose. So you should feel pretty good about where
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you are going into that game. But still, once you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get into SEC play, once you have matchups against Texas
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: A & M, Tennessee, when you have to go face
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: off against even South Carolina, depending on what they look
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like tonight against Towson, you are going to have to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: have a fast start. Alabama for the second straight week
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: has shot itself in the foot. Alabama's offensive line looked
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: awful to begin the game. Alabama could not run the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: football to save its life. And it didn't matter if
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it was Daniel Hill or Adrian Crowell or what they
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: brought in with Treshawn Brown. Nobody was able to get traction.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And Keelan Russell, again, making his first road start is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: one thing. But not being able to have an offensive
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: game plan and rely so heavily on the passing attack
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: when you know at times it's not working. is reason
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to have your doubts. It's reason to press pause on
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what Alabama could be. Now, once you found your rhythm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and once you were able to get short field position
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and start to get a groove, then that's exactly what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was necessary. You just need to see it a little
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: bit earlier. Now, if you want to take away and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: look at this with the glass half full optimistic style,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Alabama being able to have a 100-yard rusher is a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: massive win. That was a major weak point last season.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The Crimson Tide ranked outside of the top 100 in rushing,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and largely because nobody could be that difference maker, that enforcer.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: We got Daniel Hill, who took a while to finally
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: get it going, but once he did, he was off
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to the races with 18 carries and 104 yards. He
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: averaged 5.8 yards a play. Treshawn Brown scores another touchdown,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: two for two so far in his career, averaging 4.4
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: yards of play. And EJ Corral only had three carries.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter, he had a big 19-yard breakaway run. He
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: also had a massive run that was inside the red
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: zone to be able to score another touchdown early on
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in the game. So, you at least were able to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: get the ball rolling. 155 rushing yards on the day,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and you had a 100-yard rusher. But it took forever
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: for that to kind of get into motion. And while, again,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's fine against a team like Kentucky because your defense
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: stepped on up, and your defense will continue to step
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on up, you're going to have to see more of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that early on in games if you want to be
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: able to set a tone. Because if your defense can
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: only rely so heavily going up against competition such as Kentucky. Kentucky,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I think, is a good team. Kentucky, I think, will
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: end up looking like a more balanced win by the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: time you get to the season's end. In fact, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: think for a lot of people, you would say that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Kentucky at this point should feel like that if this
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is the worst that we play against them, we're off
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to the races. Because Kentucky, I think, has the right
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: identity with a guy like Kenny Minchia, quarterback, and Will
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Stein as the head coach. That being said, you're Alabama.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And it's year three of Kaitlin DeBoer. And some of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the faults that you still have been clamoring about for
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: years now is a problem. Slow starts. The inability to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: play up to level competition. Take on over games in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the early half. Set your standard. That's been an issue.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Now the good news is it didn't come up today,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but it could come up later on. And Alabama was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: able to show that in the second half largely because
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the defense got them in positions to be able to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: get three and outs, force some drives, get turnovers inside
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of their own territory, and then capitalize on short field
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: positions to be able to go ahead and win. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it does help that when you have the better jimmies
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and the joes. X's and O's can only take you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so far. Talent outweighs at the end of the day.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And this game is really reminiscent of what we saw
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: with Texas A & M versus Arizona State earlier. Texas
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: A & M was in a dogfight going into the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They scored 24 unanswered points in a span
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of seven minutes, mainly because their defense stepped on up
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and delivered and gave their offense very short field position
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to be able to play with. Good teams find a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: way to win. Great teams find a way to cover.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Exceptional teams find a way to take on over games
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: late to prove why they are the more talented team.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And that's what Alabama did. Keelan Russell will get better.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think if you want to take away a couple
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of things, there were some perfect throws that he made
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: down the field that were exceptionally on point. That being said,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you also saw a freshman quarterback look like a freshman
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: quarterback throwing into double coverage. The one interception right before
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: halftime was atrocious. And it's inexcusable. For a guy who's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: not making his first road SEC start if it ends
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: up being a loss. You live and you learn from
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: that mistake because of, again, it's Russell learning on the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: fly on how to play in environments. But it is
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a bad throw. And it's a horrendous play execution, not
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: only by the wide receivers, but by Ryan Grubb in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the booth making the call to begin with. So that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: got to change before you welcome on in Georgia on
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: October 10th. Because if that ends up being a problem,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you're watching as the Bulldogs that currently have basically... dismantled
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and taken the souls of Tennessee State and West Kentucky,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: march on into your house and watch that ball go
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: backwards as Ellis Robinson is rounding around Tuscaloosa saying, I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: own you. Because that's exactly what could be the case
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in this one. Alabama could end up having some questions
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: at quarterback if this becomes a problem. For your first
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: road start, there were some really good throws. He made
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: some good decisions in the second half. He had the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: ball out of harm's way. They won the turnover battle.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: They did all the little details that you want to see.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: The good news is also you found yourself another wide
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: receiver to step on up. Ryan Coleman Williams last week
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was your leading receiver with over 130 yards. He finished
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: third on your team. And he didn't have any drops,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: which massive win in that standpoint. But you want to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: see more. One question I had massively going into this
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: game was what was Alabama going to have with another
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: number two? Well, I think you may have that in
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Lottie Brooks. Finished up with five catches for 54 yards.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Rico Scott had two horrendous drops. One in the end
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: zone that was inexcusable. Nowhere near excusable. It's one of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: those things to where you say, Butterfingers, come on, man.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But he made up for it by finding his way
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: into the end zone. And he had two other exceptional plays,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: including that massive 32-yard reception that placed Alabama inside the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: red zone. So you saw a little bit of motion there.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Your tight end play with Elijah Pritchett looked pretty well
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean, Marshall Pritchett looked pretty well at
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: times as well. And Treshawn Brown and Daniel Hill made
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: some plays out of the backfield as receiving threats. So
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: there was movement with the football for another week. Made
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: some bad decisions if you were Keelan Russell, but you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: can learn from it. Had some good decisions too. Had
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: some really, really nice throws that you can build upon
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: going into next week against Florida State and certainly moving
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: into the long-term future. The penalties is something that I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us are going to have to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get after. That's my third main point in this game.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Alabama can't keep shooting stuff in the foot. Alabama was
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: lucky in the second half. They had one penalty for
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: 10 yards. In the first half, they had seven penalties.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And partially that was on them. Now there is one
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: penalty that I will take off the board and we'll
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: get to that in our final point in a moment.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But outside of that, False starts, holding calls, ineligible man downfield,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the Marshall Pritchett play that was for a gain of 18,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that tapping the guy and resetting to make it clear, hey,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm offline, and an ineligible touching play, which again is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: ridiculous when you are an official that doesn't call that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: or you don't at least connect with him before the play,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: but that still is on you. And the penalties have
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: been an issue that we have cried about and we
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: have depletedly gone after multiple times in the past. And
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it still is an issue. And it still is something
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that you've got to ask yourself, what is it about
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a Kalen DeBoer team that can be so undisciplined at times?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Because you see the domination coming into play, and then
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in the next moment you want to pull your hair
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: out because of what should have been a gain of 15,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: now is a loss of 10. Because of ineptitude on
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: your part. Not the officials, not on the opposing team,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: internally on you. And that is a look that Kalen
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: DeBoer is going to have to figure on out. Black
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: hoodie or not, doesn't matter. You got to make sure
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that that is not going to be a hindrance when
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you start SEC play against more competition that you view
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: as a legit threat to go to the playoff, i.e.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a Texas A & M, a Georgia, or potentially even
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: an LSU. You can't afford that in those matchups. My
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: final point, officiating has got to get better. Two times,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Alabama got shot in the foot and it wasn't their
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: own fault. Twice, Alabama did this. The score, if we're
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: being completely real, could have easily been 45-7. My bad, 45-10.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't. Because of a fourth down call that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: was on the field, that was first ruled a fumble,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: did not get the first down. I viewed it as
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: an incompletion, just to be completely transparent. Reviewed the play,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: then said it was a first down. That led to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the touchdown in the first quarter by Kenny Minchey. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he only passed the 20-yard completion downfield. The next one,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you let that slide. This one you don't. Fourth down
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and four with an opportunity to get the ball back.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: at midfield, or at least force them to take the timeout,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and then you punt. And you get called for a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: delay of game for a hand clap? Guys, I understand
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that officiating is not the easiest thing to do, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculously stupid! Nobody should be in that position to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: begin with. Meanwhile, you get the timeout. Will Stein is
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: losing his mind like a Karen that just got told, oh,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: prices went up on milk by 99 cents, even though
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that this grocery store has never been able to raise
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: its prices. And then it's like, oh, you know what? Actually,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: let's review it. Zebras, if you're going to call a game,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: call it cohesively fair. There's no rule that says clap,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: clap means that you get the delay a game penalty.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It didn't hurt you today. But at one point, it
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: felt like it was going to. Because in that moment,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Kentucky was able to take a four-point lead instead of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a one-point lead in the half. And it made you frustrated.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And Alabama responded, bygones be bygones. You live and you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: learn from your mistakes. But still, it's something that has
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: got to be corrected. Alabama overall looked like the more
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: dominant team. Alabama overall was able to show you in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the second half why they were the more balanced team.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: They finished the day with over 300 yards of offense.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: They also get 21 first downs. They win the time
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of possession by 32 minutes. And they also tie in
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the turnover battle. Largely because of a late turnover. But
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that's not the point here. The point is that Alabama
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: did its job. Alabama avoided a lot. And they have
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: their defense to thank for it moving into next week.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And if you're a Kentucky fan, the good news is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that it feels like you got the right guy in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Will Stein. And Kenny Mitchell can grow from this. It's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: just you don't have a guy like Keelan Russell and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a defense have on McCain Womack that can put you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Out of it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Because in the first half, you were able to. But
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: then you see what an elite defense looks like going
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: into the second. And that's what's residing in Tuscaloosa week
• 16:33
