Alabama rallied to beat South Carolina on Saturday afternoon. The Tide had to dig deep, overcoming a 22-14 4th quarter deficit to come from behind and knock off the Gamecocks 29-22 to earn a seventh consecutive victory.
Alabama is now 7-1 heading into its second and final bye week of the regular season. The bye is much-needed after a grueling stretch of games. After four straight wins over ranked opponents, the Crimson Tide faced a difficult test on the road against South Carolina. For most of the second half, it looked like Alabama was going to succumb to the dreaded trap game; another loss to an unranked opponent under Kalen DeBoer appeared on the horizon.
