Offensive Notes, etc.

With a rushing touchdown against LSU on Saturday night, Jalen Hurts has been responsible for 22 touchdowns this season (12 passing, 10 rushing), moving him solely into ninth on the Alabama single-season list.

Alabama’s first half scoring streak of 126 games, the longest streak in the nation, was snapped with tonight’s 0-0 halftime tie. Prior to this evening, the last time UA failed to score in the first half was on Sept. 29, 2007, when Alabama and Florida State headed into halftime in a scoreless tie. The Seminoles won that game, 21-14. Alabama was 110-16 record during the streak.

The Tide’s school record consecutive games scoring streak was extended to 207 games with Jalen Hurts’ 21-yard run in the fourth quarter tonight. Alabama was last held off the scoreboard in a 9-0 loss to Auburn on Nov. 18, 2000.

JK Scott’s 66-yard punt to open the second quarter is his longest of the season. His previous long was 63 yards, which he achieved twice: against Ole Miss on Sept. 17 and Arkansas on Oct. 8. Scott’s career long is a 73-yarder vs. Ohio State in 2014 (in the 2015 Sugar Bowl).

The 0-0 score after two quarters on Saturday at LSU marks the first halftime tie for the Tide since the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game when Alabama and Clemson entered the locker room tied at 14-14.

Captains for Saturday night’s game at LSU were Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson and Cam Robinson.
