TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Last week’s dominant victory over Western Kentucky was Alabama’s first home game of the season in Bryant-Denny Stadium and the premier win in the Kalen DeBoer era. But the name of the renowned football mecca changed on Saturday afternoon as legendary head coach Nick Saban lifted a cloth outside of the Walk of Champions that read “Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.”
While two concurrent eras being featured in one game is historic, not everything was magic in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night, as wide receiver/punt returner Cole Adams went down with an injury.
On a key third down in the red zone at the start of the fourth quarter, Adams caught a pass off to the right side but fell on what appears to be his right arm or wrist. Adams gained enough yards to put Alabama at first-and-goal at the 5-yard line.
Linebacker Justin Jefferson was ejected from the game after a targeting call with under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Kalen DeBoer on the Cole Adams injury, via the postgame press conference: “He had an arm injury. We’ll have to see the extent of that this week. I thought it was a lower leg injury until I saw him get up…He’s frustrated.”
