“Well, you know, what I was really puzzled about is I said that we were going to pick a starter between Cooper Bateman and Blake Barnett”.

“I could definitely sense that when you get three-and-out after three-and-out that teams just start to kind of give up”, Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey told reporters. “If I learned one thing from tonight, it’s how insane momentum plays a role in these type of games”.
If Kiffin leaves, Sarkisian could take the role of offensive coordinator and largely keep the same system in place.
Former USC football Coach Steve Sarkisian – still locked in a legal battle with the school over his 2015 firing – will join Alabama’s staff as an analyst, the team announced Monday.

“We played a very good team today, and they played up to their potential”, Helton said after the game.
Barnett finished with 100 yards passing.
“Ronnie let it emotionally get to him that these other guys were talking”, Saban said.

Taylor started all 15 games at right guard for the Tide last season, but was suspended this offseason after being arrested for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.

During the game against USC, senior defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson and junior Cam Sims were both forced to the sidelines with injuries.
