  09/14 WEEK 2 SEC CO-DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Devan Thompkins, Alabama, Position: Defensive End,...Alabama's Devan Thompkins, a fifth-year defensive end from Tracy, Calif., provided a powerful presence along the defensive line in the Tide's 45-17 win at Kentucky to begin SEC play.

Including the touchdown Thompkins set up, the Crimson Tide went on to score 26 unanswered points across the final two quarters for the dominant win. - SEC Football

  09/05/26 - Keelon Russell, rFr/2030, Alabama, 6-3, 207 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Keelon Russell accounted for 335 yards and a touchdown, and No. 13 Alabama opened the season with a 48-10 victory over East Carolina on Saturday. Russell, a sophomore making his first career start after beating out Austin Mack during training camp, ran for 86 yards and a score. He also threw for 249 yards, including 130 of those to Ryan Coleman-Williams. Russell directed five consecutive scoring drives to start the game, and Alabama (1-0) finished with 480 yards and 27 first downs.

The Crimson Tide, who ranked 15th in the Southeastern Conference in rushing last season, totaled 227 yards on the ground. East Carolina (0-1) managed just 162 yards and five first downs. The Pirates were 0 for 9 on third down and gained 2 yards on 22 carries. Mitch Griffis completed 10 of 16 passes for 137 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Russell made a few mistakes, including a fumble in the third quarter. But he ended up with more positives than negatives, including connecting with Coleman-Williams for a 58-yard gain. - Alabama/AP College Football

  12/20/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Ty Simpson passed for 232 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 9 seed Alabama rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat No. 8 Oklahoma 34-24 on Friday night in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Alabama freshman Lotzeir Brooks, who did not score a touchdown in the regular season, scored two and had season highs of five catches and 79 yards. It was the third meeting between the schools in 13 months. Oklahoma defeated Alabama 24-3 last November at home, then beat the Crimson Tide 23-21 last month on the road. It was the first playoff for the Crimson Tide since coach Kalen DeBoer arrived from Washington two years ago. Alabama (11-3) advanced to play No. 1 seed Indiana and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza in a quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. Oklahoma's John Mateer passed for 307 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw a costly interception that Alabama's Zabien Brown returned 50 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Deion Burks had seven catches for 107 yards and a score for the Sooners (10-3). Oklahoma's Tate Sandell, the Lou Groza Award winner for the nation's best kicker, tied an FBS single-season record for most made field goals of 50 or more yards. He drilled a 51-yarder into a stiff wind to give the Sooners a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter, his 24th consecutive made field goal. The Sooners outgained the Crimson Tide 118 yards to 12 in the opening period. Mateer's 6-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Sategna early in the second quarter pushed Oklahoma's lead to 17-0.

Alabama, which went three-and-out on its first three possessions, finally got its offense going midway through the second quarter when Simpson hit Brooks for a 10-yard score to trim Oklahoma's lead to 17-7. Later in the quarter, Brown's interception return tied the score at 17. Brooks caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Simpson early in the third quarter to give Alabama its first lead. The Crimson Tide took a 27-17 advantage on a 40-yard field goal by Conor Talty. Burks caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Mateer two plays into the fourth quarter to cut Alabama's lead to 27-24. Oklahoma had chances to stay in the game, but Sandell missed from 36 yards with just under three minutes remaining to end his streak. He missed again from 51 yards out with 1:18 to play. - Alabama/AP College Football

  2025 UNITED ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CO-SPECIALIST OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Adam Watford (North Alabama),...North Alabama punter Adam Watford joins Smith as the league's Specialist of the Year. Watford averaged 46.5 yards per punt over 66 kicks this season, ranking fourth in the FCS. The junior's strong leg was regularly on display producing a school record 21 punts over 50 yards this season, breaking the program's career mark for 50-plus yard punts with 36, and posting at least one 50-yard or longer kick in 10 of 12 games. A consistent weapon for the Lions, Watford was the lone FCS punter to tally three punts over 70 yards showcased by a UAC record 74-yard blast versus UCA along with a pair of 72-yard bombs against Tarleton State and Utah Tech. He also led the league with 18 punts downed inside the 20 yard line. - United Athletic Conference Football

  11/29/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Ty Simpson and Isaiah Horton connected three times for touchdowns, and No. 10 Alabama escaped Auburn with a 27-20 victory in the rivalry known as the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. The Crimson Tide advanced to face fourth-ranked Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game next week in Atlanta. Alabama (10-2, 7-1) beat Georgia 24-21 on the road in the regular season. The Tide were on the ropes again at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After leading 17-0 early in the second quarter, they found themselves tied in the waning minutes. But Simpson found Horton on a fourth-and-2 play from the Auburn 6 with 3:50 remaining. It was their third hookup of the night, including 6- and 3-yard scores in the first half.

Simpson completed 19 of 35 passes for a season-low 122 yards. Horton finished with five catches for 35 yards, with all three scores coming in the red zone. Alabama won despite totaling 276 yards. Alabama's Jam Miller ran for 83 yards before leaving with an injury. Ashton Daniels led Auburn (5-7, 1-7) with 259 passing and 108 yards rushing. Malcolm Simmons hauled in two long passes, including a 64-yarder for a touchdown and a 66-yarder that set up a score. Daniels had the Tigers on the move late, taking advantage of a pass-interference penalty and scrambling for a first down on fourth-and-2, but star receiver Cam Coleman fumbled with 33 seconds left. - Alabama/AP College Football

  11/22/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Six different players scored touchdowns, including two apiece from Kevin Riley and AK Dear, and No. 10 Alabama cruised to a 56-0 win against lower-division Eastern Illinois on Saturday. Alabama (9-2) held out a few key players - receiver Germie Bernard, center Parker Brailsford and tight end Josh Cuevas - with the Iron Bowl on tap next week. Cuevas was injured in practice, and his availability moving forward is up in the air, said coach Kalen DeBoer. Even without those starters, the Crimson Tide outgained the Panthers 539-34 - hardly a surprise given one is a powerhouse program, and the other is a losing team from the Football Championship Subdivision.

The lopsided contest allowed for the majority of Alabama's roster to see playing time. Quarterbacks Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell led scoring drives. Alabama ran for a season-high 269 yards, with all eight offensive touchdowns coming on the ground. Alabama's eight rushing TDs are the program's most in a game since 1979 against Vanderbilt. A lackluster ground game has been an area of emphasis for Alabama all season. The Tide rank 123rd nationally with 108.7 yards rushing a game. Alabama dominated from the onset, intercepting Eastern Illinois (3-9) on the opening possession and turning that into a touchdown. On the following possession, Alabama blocked a punt to set up another quick score. In total, 31 of Alabama's 38 first-half plays were in Eastern Illinois territory. It wasn't all good for the home team, though. Simpson threw two interceptions, giving him seven consecutive games with a turnover, and Alabama's Conor Talty missed a 28-yard field goal. Boos rained down from the Bryant-Denny Stadium crowd after Talty's miss. He was eventually replaced. - Alabama/AP College Football

  11/08/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  No. 4 Alabama delivered its best defensive effort in Southeastern Conference play this season and beat LSU 20-9 on Saturday night, keeping the Tigers out of the end zone for the first time since the 2012 national championship game. The Crimson Tide (8-1, 6-0 SEC, No. 4 CFP) allowed just 13 first downs and 232 yards while winning their eighth consecutive game. Alabama extended its home winning streak to 17 games, the longest in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and remained on track for a spot in the league title game and the College Football Playoff. "I feel like the defense has been pretty solid," coach Kalen DeBoer said. "There's less of the explosive plays and guys are fitting their gaps. We missed a few opportunities with the ball on the ground or in the air. I like the way the defense is playing and they'll go back to work tomorrow." Ty Simpson completed 21 of 35 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown for the Crimson Tide, but he had several missed opportunities on downfield throws that could have put the game away. "I think our guys practiced hard," DeBoer said. "There's just some things we can do better to separate ourselves in the third quarter when we have a chance to put a team away. There's been a couple games now where we haven't done that and we need to get better at it." Garrett Nussmeier completed 18 of 21 passes for 121 yards for LSU (5-4, 2-4), but he was benched in the third quarter in favor of sophomore Michael Van Buren, who completed 5 of 11 passes for 52 yards in relief.

It was a disappointing debut for LSU interim coach Frank Wilson, who took over when Brian Kelly was fired. The Tigers were penalized 10 times and were limited to nine points in four red-zone trips as they lost to the Crimson Tide for the third straight year. "I thought (Nussmeier) did some good things early on," Wilson said. "As we got into the depths of the game, we just thought it was an opportunity to change up and throw them off." A relatively modest performance by Alabama's offense - 344 total yards - was boosted by explosive plays. Simpson completed four passes of 30 or more yards in the first half; LSU had only given up five all season before Saturday. However, getting a run game that only mustered 56 yards back on track will be critical late in the season and potentially in the playoff. "We missed opportunities that will help open up the box," DeBoer said. "We've got to do a better job blocking and better job falling ahead for yards. Those extra yards can hurt them. We've got to give the running backs better lanes and we've certainly got to be better than we were." - Alabama/AP College Football
