It wasn't pretty, but for the third week in a row, Alabama defeated a ranked conference opponent. For the second time, that win happened on the road, further dispelling the notion that Kalen DeBoer-coached Alabama teams can't win contested games away from Tuscaloosa.
There's plenty to clean up, but it's hard to be disappointed in any SEC road win, especially against a team that entered the game 5-0. Alabama is finding ways to win close games, something they struggled with a year ago.
Alabama will have to get better, and clean up the laundry list of mistakes it made in CoMo, but Tide fans will have to get used to the fact that the days of blowing everyone out are long gone.
