Mario Fannin caught his first touchdown around the 30-yard line.
TUSCALOOSA — A special start to the season for Alabama could be threatened if lackluster special teams play continues.
Kodi Burns waited for his chance. Saturday, the sophomore backup quarterback got it, and took full advantage.
Oh yeah, the defense.
TUSCALOOSA — Nick Saban is all about preparation, so he was ready for the question about Alabama being ranked No. 2 this week.
The Auburn football game against Arkansas on Oct. 11 at Jordan-Hare Stadium will kick off at 4 p.m. and be televised on a pay-per-view basis.
Tony Franklin knows he has critics.
Chris Todd will start at quarterback against Vanderbilt.
But Kodi Burns will play, too.
Six weeks ago, few of even the most passionate Crimson Tide fans expected to wake up five games into the season with their team coming off a deceptively easy 41-30 victory over No. 3 Georgia, enjoying a 5-0 record and a No. 2 national ranking.
No matter how you dress it up, it still doesn’t look good.
