Kalen DeBoer highlights 5 major lessons from Alabama’s victory over WKU
After Alabama defeated South Carolina 63-0, approximately 100,000 supporters packed Bryant-Denny Stadium to show Kalen DeBoer their unwavering support. DeBoer used a wide rotation of players, and the Crimson Tide shown glimpses of outstanding promise.
In his debut game as Alabama’s defensive coordinator, Kane Wommack pitched a shutout.
The Hilltoppers only managed 145 yards against the Crimson Tide, including 42 yards gained by rushes.
T.J. Finley was sacked once, had two interceptions, and was under a lot of pressure from Alabama. Despite two fourth-down conversions by Western Kentucky, the Tide managed to keep the ball out of the end zone. Nine tackles apiece from Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell for 18 total, and Keon Sabb made a strong debut as a transfer safety. Two interceptions were noted by the New Jersey. Throughout the whole game, Western Kentucky was uncomfortable due to Alabama’s formidable defense. Coach Wommack had his team primed for victory.
2. Jalen Milroe performed well when passing the ball.
The ground is sloppy due to the weather, but Jalen Milroe was effective and explosive in the passing game.
He tried nine passes, but the native Texan took advantage of it all. Milroe made nine tries, and seven of them were successful, with three of them ending in touchdowns. He gained five total touchdowns, 200 throwing yards, and 79 rushing yards.
3. Ryan Williams lives up to the hype
For many years to come, Ryan Williams, a rookie wide receiver, will be fascinating.
Over the weekend, the 17-year-old made his debut, which has everyone buzzing. Former five-star Williams only had two receptions, but they were both huge plays. In the first quarter, he breezed by opponents to snag an 84-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Milroe, and then shown remarkable strength to elude tackles on a second-quarter, 55-yard touchdown. The 175-pound, 6-foot-1 player concluded with a game-high 139 receiving yards.
Fans of Tide have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to him—he is genuinely exceptional.
4. Alabama’s running attack was really effective.
The running backs from Alabama arrived to compete against Western Kentucky.
Although Wilkin Formby, Elijah Pritchett, and the rest of the front group blocked some shots, Crimson Tide supporters were able to witness Justice Haynes and Jam Miller’s pace. It was Haynes’s first-ever 100-yard performance as a sophomore. On four carries, he gained 102 yards of total yardage, including an 85-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
