00:00How would Alabama respond, Donnie?
00:07One of the main questions of the early window on Saturday.
00:11There have been some questions about Kayla DeBoer.
00:13Naturally, we are going to get those early season comparisons to Nick Saban.
00:18No doubt, Nick Saban in his time would have had the crimson tide ticked off and
00:23ready to respond after losing to Vanderbilt.
00:26Something, of course, they never did with Nick Saban as their head coach.
00:29So Kayla DeBoer better have the boys ready to play at home inside Brian Denny
00:34against South Carolina on Saturday.
00:38Alabama does win.
00:39They get a victory over South Carolina, as you can see, 27-25.
00:45But as a three touchdown home favorite, it was close.
00:50South Carolina scoring a touchdown, finding Nick Harper in the end zone.
00:55Lenora Sellers late in the final few minutes.
00:59Do not convert the two-point conversion, but get the onside kick.
01:03It did not work at the end, and Alabama survives after a long,
01:08misfugal attempt from the Gamecocks.
01:11But they do not cover as a 21.5 point home favorite.
01:15By the way, how about the way the game ended, too?
01:17You have the interception on that two or three yard line, run into the end zone,
01:20and ready to take a knee, which would have been interesting,
01:23the call that they would have made on the field,
01:24whether or not the actual momentum carried him to the end zone,
01:27which I didn't think it did.
01:28If that would have tied the game up, that would have been an absolutely
01:30incredible theater.
01:32You can say, look, the SEC, any win in the SEC is a good one here.
01:35But it just feels like the Alabama Crimson Tide right now are teetering
01:38on that edge.
01:39They got that huge victory, which they almost saw that disappear
01:42against Georgia.
01:43They pulled that game out.
01:44They no-showed at Vanderbilt, and almost came home and no-showed
01:47against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
01:49Decent team, but let's be real.
01:50They're 3-3 on the season and dropping to 1-3 in conference play.
01:53You weren't favored by 5.5 points and 1-2.
01:56You were supposed to have a walk-away easy victory.
01:58And we're not seeing it right now from Alabama.
02:00Teetering on the edge of, are we the best team in the SEC?
02:04Or are we actually even going to make the college football playoff?
