Man, that first quarter was sluggish--an smorgasbord of three and outs.
Heck, Alabama was only up 7 to 0 at the half.
Thank goodness for the Alabama defense. They held the Bulldogs to 131 yards of total offense, 12 of them of the rushing variety.
Although the Crimson Tide offense did not find a groove until later in the game, they gained 386 yards of total offense, with Richardson having another 100+ yard rushing game.
But as sportscasters are prone to remind use, there are three phases of the game: offense, defense, and special teams.
Once again, Alabama lost the special teams category. It wasn't as bad as the game versus LSU, but there were two missed field goals and consistently weak kickoffs. The only score by the Bulldogs was set up by a 68-year kickoff return.
Just flippin' horrible in that phase of the game.
They need to get that fixed, and the offense needs get its mojo back.
