Report Card: Grading Alabama’s dominating Week 1 win over Utah State

Alabama handled Utah State with ease on Saturday night. Let’s take a look at how the Crimson Tide graded out in Week 1.

Grade: B+

The special teams unit was nearly flawless up until the point they allowed a punt to be blocked. While it was completely inconsequential to the outcome of Saturday night’s matchup, a mistake like that against a little better competition could be the difference between winning and losing.

I look for Alabama to get this cleaned up rather quickly this upcoming week.
