Going into this game Nick Saban said he was looking for Alabama to sustain it’s intensity in performance throughout the game. So far it looks like the Crimson Tide is doing such against Southern Miss and it was apparent from the opening kick off.
Wide receiver Jameson Williams took the opening kickoff the game back for a 100-yard touchdown, setting to tone for how Alabama was going to play offensively in the opening two quarters. Much like the first quarter a week ago, Alabama was polished on offense with quarterback Bryce Young going 7/8 for 93 yards and two touchdowns in the opening quarter of the game.
