Saturday was certainly a much needed result for the Alabama Crimson Tide, as the program picked up a dominant 34-0 home victory over the Missouri Tigers.
An all-around impressive performance, Alabama would out-gain Missouri in total yardage, 486-239, for the contest, and collected their second defensive shutout of the season in the process. This was certainly a reverse from recent weeks as well, as Alabama had previously dropped two of their last three games, as well as had a close victory sandwiched in between the two.
Let’s take a look at social media to see what some people are saying about Alabama’s victory over the Missouri Tigers:
Alabama leads Missouri 13-0 at halftime.
Excellent half from the defense. Their second straight first-half shutout. Only allowed 101 yards.
The offense started to do some nice things towards the end of the half. Milroe started to look more confident. Need that to carry over.

Know Missouri is banged up and with a back-up quarterback.
But if Alabama keeps the effort, intensity and focus they played with today, they can still not only play with, but beat anyone in college football.
It's up to them whether they choose to do so or not

Missouri's 72 passing yards today against Alabama were the fewest by a Tide SEC opponent since Tennessee had 44 in 2017.

TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA!
We've eased into third gear on offense. That'll be enough against Missouri today.
