Anonymous
Alabama remained undefeated at 4-0 with a 49-18 win over South Carolina, building a 35-7 halftime lead after a fast, explosive start. Sophomore quarterback Keelon Russell delivered the strongest performance of his first four starts, completing 21 of 27 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns while adding a rushing score; coach Kalen DeBoer praised his poise, decision-making and growing ability to extend plays. Ryan Coleman-Williams caught two first-half touchdowns and finished with 98 yards, while Alabama’s defense forced two turnovers, scored off both and held firm in the red zone after South Carolina’s opening-play breakaway. DeBoer emphasized complementary football over perfection, crediting the team’s execution and resilience as it prepares for tougher SEC competition.
