Report Card: Grading Alabama’s disappointing 34-24 loss to Texas

Grading Alabama’s 34-24 loss to Texas

For the first time since 2007, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team have suffered a non-conference home loss as the Texas Longhorns handed the Crimson Tide a 34-24 defeat on Saturday night.

The Longhorns deserve a tremendous amount of respect for the effort they put forth inside Byrant-Denny Stadium, but it’s also fair to say that Alabama did not do itself any favors with the number of turnovers and penalties that were committed.

There is a lot for this team to clean up on both sides of the ball moving forward and will need to do so if they have hopes of winning the West.

Now it’s time to break out the grade book and deliver our report card on the Crimson Tide’s performance.

Top quotes from Nick Saban following Alabama’s 34-24 loss to Texas

Nick Saban following loss to Texas: “I obviously let our team down in terms of how we were able to execute and play.”

The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped to 1-1 on the season with a gut-punch 34-24 loss to the Texas Longhorns in Week 2.

Alabama did not put together one of the best performances considering the number of penalties, turnovers, and busted coverages that the Crimson Tide had throughout the contest.

The silver lining is that it’s so early in the season and Alabama still has its entire SEC schedule ahead of them to get them right back where they need to be to push for a potential appearance in the College Football Playoff.

Following Alabama’s disappointing loss on Saturday, Crimson Tide head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] would speak to the media about his team’s performance and what the plan is moving forward.

Here are some of the top quotes from Saban:

Five takeaways from Alabama’s 34-24 loss to the Texas Longhorns

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team exited Bryant-Denny Stadium with a disappointing 34-24 loss to Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns on Saturday night.

It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance for the Crimson Tide where there were moments when Alabama looked solid, but there were plenty of other times that they looked lost.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe committed two costly turnovers where he threw it right to Longhorn defenders that led to points for the Texas offense.

Defensively, Alabama allowed Texas QB Quinn Ewers to scorch them for 349 passing yards and three touchdowns.

It was not the effort that Alabama fans were hoping for and there are certainly several points to takeaway from the heartbreaking early season loss.

SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS: Jalen Milroe drops 49-yard dime to Jermaine Burton

Everyone is going crazy!

In a tightly contested matchup between two of the powerhouse programs in college football, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milore has given the Crimson Tide a late third-quarter lead over the Texas Longhorns, 16-13.

Milroe has had an up-and-down performance through three quarters, throwing an early interception and also missing some open targets along the way. But with less than a minute remaining in the third, the redshirt sophomore delivered a beautiful ball to senior receiver Jermaine Burton.

This is setting up to be an epic fourth quarter between the Tide and Longhorns.

As you can imagine, the social media world went absolutely bonkers following the dime from Milroe to Burton.
