Overview

• Alabama routed Louisiana–Monroe 73-0, its third shutout under defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, while holding the Warhawks to 148 total yards and forcing three turnovers.
• Quarterback Ty Simpson completed a perfect 17-of-17 first half for 226 yards with three passing touchdowns and one rushing score before exiting at halftime.
• Kalen DeBoer called the win a response and stressed repetition, saying it “sucks to learn lessons” and that the team must show the same discipline week after week.
• Players described an emphasis on pursuit and physicality, with LT Overton citing a defensive “spark” and contributors including Justin Jefferson, Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., and James Smith fueling momentum.
• Fan and booster frustration remains a storyline, including a local fan’s on-air remark about using hypothetical Powerball winnings to pay DeBoer’s $70 million buyout, keeping scrutiny on his tenure heading into Wisconsin on Sept. 13 (11 a.m. CT, ABC).
