Russell's Turnaround in SEC Battle | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

But Russell bounced back impressively in the second half, leading a dominant 45-17 comeback with 188 passing yards and a touchdown. Despite early mistakes—including losing their coach-to-player communication system in the third quarter—offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb praised Russell’s resilience and adaptability.
