Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide emerged with a 42-16 victory, but so many things need to be worked on before facing Wisconsin and Georgia. The initial reaction and takeaways are listed below after a close game.

The offensive line had too many penalties, Jalen Milroe was not sharp, Alabama could not establish a consistent rushing attack, and South Florida’s offensive tempo had the Crimson Tide frustrated some on defense at times.
