Sunday Hangover: Kansas State

This is one of the games this season in which Alabama looked like Alabama. But that feeling didn't happen until they went down 10 points after a field goal and an 88-yard TD run by Deuce Vaughn.

Bryce Young showed why he's a top draft pick by throwing five touchdowns and having only six incompletions. 

Will Anderson Jr. played mainly on third down from what I could tell and made an impact when he was in. My guess is that if the team were in a playoff game, he would have been out there a heck of a lot more often. 

A bunch of DBs had great games. Notably Brian Branch seemed to be all over the field making plays, especially with his four tackles for loss. Hellams led the team with 13 tackles and was followed by Branch with 12 and Battle with 9. 

From my perspective, Lawson played well at linebacker. I expect him to develop over the off season into an even stronger player for the Tide.  

As usual, fans will wait with trepidation about who enters the draft. Young and Anderson are a given, but we'll see who else declares.
