A win is a win, I guess but it sure was an ugly one for [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide as they took down the South Florida Bulls 17-3 on Saturday from Tampa.
Once again the story of the game for Alabama was inconsistent play from the Crimson Tide offense. Despite making the quarterback change from Jalen Milroe to Tyler Buchner, the offense sputtered for most of the contest.
Redshirt freshman Ty Simpson would eventually enter the game late in the second quarter and remain the Alabama quarterback throughout the contest.
Alabama’s defense held up their end of the bargain holding USF to just three points on the night.
Unfortunately, Alabama seemingly leaves Tampa with more questions than answers heading into SEC play.
As we process the ugly win, let’s look at some top takeaways from Saturday’s matchup.
