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?
