Studs and Duds in Alabama Football Iron Bowl win
By Ronald Evans
Henry To’oTo’o
The Crimson Tide inside linebacker led the defense with nine total tackles, including six solo tackles and one TFL.
William Anderson Jr.
Will Anderson set the tone for the defense early and finished with seven total tackles including three TFLs.
DeMarcco Hellams
Hellams probably had his best career game, with six tackles and two pass breakups. He was effective shutting down multiple power sweep plays by the Tigers.
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid got the start at cornerback, replacing Jaylin Armour-Davis. He totaled two tackles including one TFL. His biggest play was an end-zone pass breakup in Overtime. The play earned him a game ball from Nick Saban.
Alabama Football Iron Bowl Duds
Overall the Alabama Crimson Tide gets a Dud grade for 11 penalties for 129 yards.
Crimson Tide Offensive Line
Collectively the Crimson Tide offensive line unit allowed 11 TFLs, including seven sacks and seven quarterback hurries. The Georgia front seven on defense must be licking their Dawg chops.
Paul Tyson
The missed field goal was all on Tyson flubbing the snap, leading to him being replaced later in the game by punter, James Burnip.
SEC Officiating Crew
A blatant pass interference was not called on Auburn in the first half. The roughing the passer call on Dallas Turner was nearly as bad.
The Tide won ugly, but any Iron Bowl win is a good win. As Nick Saban said earlier in the week, the Tide gets every opponent’s best game.
