267 minutes, 54 seconds: The Alabama defense has not surrendered a touchdown in the last 267 minutes and 54 seconds of game action, dating back to the third quarter of the Texas A&M game (October 22) when the Aggies’ Christian Kirk caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Knight. The Crimson Tide blanked the Aggies over the final 27:54 of that game and then shut out No. 15 LSU, 10-0, in Baton Rouge the following week. The Tide then limited Mississippi State to a field goal on Nov. 12 in a 51-3 victory, defeated Chattanooga, 31-3, on Nov. 19 and Auburn on Saturday, 30-12. Alabama ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring defense entering the weekend, surrendering 11.4 points per game in its first 11 games.

With two tackles for loss against Auburn, Jonathan Allen moved into a tie for fifth place on the Alabama career TFL list with Eric Curry (1990-92) with 40.5. Senior linebacker Ryan Anderson notched a pair of TFLs as well against the Tigers to move into ninth place at 37.5.
