Alabama’s Defense and Run Game Save the Day | Kentucky Wildcats Football News

Alabama’s road opener against Kentucky was a rollercoaster—rough first half with turnovers and rookie mistakes from QB Keelon Russell, but a stunning second half turnaround fueled by defense and a suddenly explosive running game. After trailing 17-13 at halftime, Alabama’s defense forced key fumbles and turnovers, setting up touchdowns that flipped the script. Daniel Hill’s big run (even after a controversial call) and Russell’s late scoring strike gave Alabama a commanding 38-17 win. With the defense locking down and the ground game clicking, the Tide are leaning on their stout unit to help Russell grow. Next up? A brutal test against Florida State.
