One of our TDs Milroe stepped up in the pocket faking a run. This pulled the LB off of his coverage thinking Milroe was going to run it. This left Law wide open. Which makes me believe Milroe got better coaching during the off season

I haven't heard anything but has anyone else ever scored TD's on their first 2 receptions at Bama ? or the SEC.?I suspect it has happened somewhere.

Kane Wommack up to the podium first.

"I thought in fall camp there are days where the days can get long. You're competing with your offense day in and day out and I thought our guys brought a level of intensity and focus to fall camp..." Said he thought Alabama's defense got what it deserved Saturday.

Wommack said Alabama had a couple of critical tackles on third downs Saturday and is looking to get things cleaned up this week. He said the team showed early that it could handle Western Kentucky's tempo and formations.

"We were able to effect the quarterback early in pass rush. We hit him early in the game and that paid dividends."

"I was really proud of our guys for their fight and play in the red zone." Said the defense stayed focused when WKU went on its 20+ play drive.

Wommack said the two takeaways were positive but Alabama could have capitalized more on those and had the opportunity to score on defense. "I did not think we met the standard for what we're capable on defense there." Said there were also missed opportunities to get sacks.

On frequent defensive subs: "I think players showed in fall cam that they can be trusted... I think as a staff it's really important early to push yourself to get guys in games." Said Alabama will need its young players as the season goes on.

On Quay Russaw: "He's not a real vocal guy on the team but he's a great teammate. He's really leaned into what we're asking at that Wolf position... He's a well-rounded individual. He's gifted physically." Said Russaw has been able to handle the scheme and impressed in the first game.

On Zabien Brown starting: "Zabien probably from the start of spring ball, all the way through fall camp was the most consistent when it came to fixing issues." Said Brown was well-deserving for going out with the first 11.

On James Smith: "I thought the level of growth of him form that three-month window from when we finished A-Day to fall camp he took a big leap."

Kane Wommack said DaShawn Jones was battling slightly with an injury and had not gotten as many practice reps this week but is expected to make a full recovery.

Kalen DeBoer’s debut game with Alabama involved a slight alteration to the Crimson Tide’s classic uniforms. Well, at least some of them.

@John Garcia Jr. caught up with top Class of 2027 RB Ezavier Crowell.

The latest on many top recruits:

For the WKU game these are the PFF grades for receivers targeted more than once.

For those wondering about Jalen Milroe’s passing depth in the season opener:

Deep (20+ yards past LOS): 2 of 2 for 139 yards, 2 TDs

Intermediate (10-19 yards past LOS): 1 of 1 for 17 yards

Short (0-9 yards past LOS): 3 of 4 for 40 yards, 1 TD

Behind LOS: 1 of 2 for 4 yards

Hope his injury don’t require surgery any news?

Did Smith play a lot? Seems like Red got more reps.

Pritchett 34 snaps, 39.2 Pass Blocking, 57.7 Run Blocking

To show how Proctor could be missed, these are PPF scores for Proctor in his last 2 games last year.
Proctor 132 snaps, 72.6 Pass Blocking, 71.2 Run Blocking

I feel like that one position made a huge problem for the rhythm of our QB and the efficiency of sustaining a drive. All we seen was a bunch of eye candy . That offense won't win the big game. Hope they get more in sync

Does anyone know where I can get a game program from last night’s game? With the rain and everything I forgot to buy one before the game and then couldn’t find one after. I’m still in Tuscaloosa and have asked around but no luck. ROLL TIDE!!!

Ezavier Crowell could be the best underclassman back nationally and UA is in a great spot early on

Someone told me Bama had offered him. Is that true? Watching him tonight. He’s a monster.

2 days until kickoff. Name the Bama greats to wear number 2.

Dear wasn't on the official visitors list but both of Alabama's 2025 RB commits (Dear and Anthony Rogers) were in town Saturday.

I wonder if the heat will be turned up on Dabo after this beat down by Georgia.
