Grade: C+
You have to give Auburn some credit here, their game plan to attack Alabama on the edges obviously worked like a charm and coach Saban mentioned in his postgame press conference that they ran a lot of stuff he hasn’t seen since his pee-wee days. Still, Alabama could not seem to adjust and even struggled to tackle throughout the contest. The backend of the Alabama defense played well though, allowing just 77 passing yards. Untimely penalties on defense also plagued the Tide on Saturday.
Finally…special teams…
