The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the ULM Warhawks 63-7 on Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tide controlled all three phases of the football game, setting a school record for punt return yards in a game and scoring touchdowns on special teams and defense.
A lot of this week's media focus was on Atlanta and SEC Media Days, but it is evident the Crimson Tide is fully locked into earning redemption for last season's shortcomings.
The head coach and commissioner of the A-Day game Nick Saban is serious about the rules, beans and weenies for the losers, and nice steak dinner for the victors.
Alabama outside linebacker Will Anderson was named one of 18 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given annually to the best defensive player in college football.
In a roughly 160-play practice, one player that stood out was freshman defensive back Terrion Arnold, who picked off Bryce Young while earning reps with Alabama's second-team defense.
