It's hard to say Alabama beat South Carolina on a day of disgusting football in Tuscaloosa.
The wave crested with 12:24 left in the first half of Alabama’s win over No. 2 Georgia two weeks earlier.
Yet, a last second kneel-down safety would’ve been the most appropriate way for Alabama to wrestle the continued threat of defeat from the cusp of victory on a day to forget in Tuscaloosa.It set the tone for the most disorienting outcome that’s a cousin of a win. Recall, the Tide led 14-0, not dominating but without a real threat until South Carolina lined up for fourth-and-nine from the Tide 36 with 1:43 on the clock. Here’s how it went.Personal foul on the ensuing kickoff. Alabama started on its own 10-yard line when Jalen Milroe’s low-energy attempt to throw one away amid the crushing pass rush occurred in the end zone.Then after South Carolina fumbled, Alabama took over near midfield.
The Crimson Tide went from emasculating its superpower peer early on to surviving a disastrous second half and then getting punked by Vanderbilt and then South Carolina was inconceivable amid the Bryant-Denny flashing lights of Sept. 28.South Carolina took a 19-14 lead after bleeding the first 8:35 of the second half in a 16-play, 85-play molasses march to the end zone. The Gamecocks were bodying Alabama, playing the kind of physical football that was once the trademark in Tuscaloosa.
