Alabamaā€™s season-opening win over Western Kentucky wasnā€™t as perfect as the 63-0 scoreline indicates. However, itā€™s hard to argue with the Crimson Tideā€™s efficiency on the day.

Alabamaā€™s big-play offense piled up 600 yards while scoring six times from 20 or more yards out. Meanwhile, the Tideā€™s resilient defense kept the Hilltoppers off the scoreboard while holding them to 145 yards and just 10 first downs.

ā€œNever going to be perfect and a lot of things we can work on, but I appreciate just where we're at right now,ā€ Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said during his Monday press conference. ā€œIt just kind of tells us where we're at and what we need to be taking to the practice field here this week.ā€

Before we turn the page to No. 4 Alabamaā€™s Week 2 game against South Florida this week, hereā€™s a look at the Tideā€™s season-opening performance through the lens of Pro Football Focus.
