The Bulls were down 13-14 in the fourth quarter until the Tide made a change on its offensive line. DeBoer’s move to replace Wilkin Formby with Elijah Pritchett changed the trajectory of the contest in the final six minutes. Pritchett protected quarterback Jalen Milroe to toss for two touchdowns and opened huge holes for Jam Miller and Justice Haynes for rushing scores.
