2021 Alabama vs New Mexico State
Alabama Football Podcast breaks down the Tide’s get-right game against the Aggies of New Mexico State.
Everybody Plays
Alabama fielded 4 quarterbacks, 13 receivers caught balls, 2 emergency running backs had carries, a 7th lineman earned a start, and countless defensive players rotated onto the field turf.
Injuries…
As decisive as the victory was, the contest may be better remembered for the injuries. Roydell Williams went down with a knee injury and likely is done for the season. JoJo Earle fell prey to an ankle which is expected to sideline him for a couple weeks. Demarco Hellams aggravated a thigh bruise and was withheld as a precaution. Reports are scant, but Emil Ekiyor visited the tent as well. This on top of Darrian Dalcourt and Jovan Cohen sitting out.
Defense was Stout
After allowing an opening field goal, the Tide defense was relentless collecting 7 sacks and allowing 138 yards on the day. More slowly and later than we’d have hoped, this Alabama defense may be rounding into form.
