Overview
- On Monday, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb publicly called out fans who booed Alabama’s early play while praising his players for not quitting.
- Through three games the Crimson Tide have been outscored 21-20 in the first quarter and they opened slowly versus Florida State, punting on their first two drives.
- Alabama recovered to score on nine straight drives and rallied to a 50-36 win over Florida State with 567 total yards.
- Grubb later issued a written apology to the fanbase and coaches said they will take “calculated measures” in practice and teach QB Keelon Russell to slide to avoid heavy contact.
- The 3-0 Crimson Tide will test those adjustments at home against South Carolina on Saturday, Sept. 26 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
