In a contest that was never close, top ranked Alabama creamed football 51-14. This was the Cards’ second season opening loss against a SEC team since 2015.

Head coach Bobby Petrino said his squad was ready for the matchup, but the statistics said otherwise. Alabama absolutely dominated on the offensive end with 519 yards to Louisville’s 268.

First quarter

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wasted no time, leading the Crimson Tide offense to their first score in three minutes.
