Alabama Football: Studs and Duds in Aggies victory
By Ronald Moody
No.2 Alabama football (2-0) wallops No.13 Texas A&M (1-1) 52-24 in SEC home opener.
Alabama football decimated the Aggies Saturday afternoon for head coach Nick Saban’s 201st SEC victory, tying him for third with Georgia legend Vince Dooley. An impressive win, nevertheless, there are still kinks on offense and defense in need of tweaking.
Saban spoke on the team’s play at his postgame press conference,
"“We made some mental errors on defense that led to big plays, whether they were alignments or not adjusting to motion correctly. We got a couple turnovers, we had a pick-six for a touchdown, made some big plays and got some fourth-down stops when we needed to stop drives. I know time of possession was a little lopsided because we didn’t get off the field on third down well enough and allowed them to keep the ball.”"
In two weeks, the No.4 Georgia Bulldogs arrive in Tuscaloosa. Hopefully, all the kinks are fixed before the two compete.
Here are Studs and Duds from the game.
