Alabama head coach Nick Saban made sure that his team played with less anxiety in their Week 8 matchup against Mississippi State. It showed on Saturday night as the Crimson Tide cruised their way to a 30-6 victory over the Bulldogs.
Alabama quarterback Bryce Young didn’t seem limited in any capacities after suffering a shoulder injury three weeks ago against Arkansas. He played well in the game and was very effective in the passing department. He completed 21 of the 35 passes that he threw for a total of 249 yards and two touchdowns.
On the other hand, Alabama’s defense made quite the statement after allowing 52 points to Tennessee last weekend. Pete Golding and the rest of the staff emphasized the need to get back on track in Saturday’s game. That is exactly what happened. Several players stepped up with injuries along the defensive line while others performed well at the second level of the defense.
Roll Tide Wire will take a look at what Saban had to say following the Crimson Tide’s Week 8 victory over the Bulldogs.
