It's a much-needed bye week for Alabama after a grueling five weeks. The Crimson Tide faced a gauntlet, winning five SEC games in a row amid a seven-game winning streak.

After getting through four straight ranked opponents, Alabama survived a scare in the type of game that has plagued Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa: on the road against an unranked opponent. All hope looked to be lost in the 4th quarter, but Ty Simpson led the Alabama rally and the Crimson Tide escaped Columbia with a 29-22 win over South Carolina.
