Alabama has a 21-10 halftime lead in New Orleans, but it hasn’t been the best start for Pete Golding’s Crimson Tide defense.

Kansas State has not had much trouble moving the ball on UA in the Sugar Bowl. KSU had a 239-yard first half (118 passing yards, 121 rushing yards) while gaining 11 first downs, going 4-of-9 on 3rd down and 2-of-3 on 4th down.

In the 2nd quarter, the Wildcats had a drive of over 10 minutes that went 73 yards all the way to the Alabama 2-yard line, but ended without points as a 4th-and-goal pass was off target.

It was during that drive of over 10 minutes that Golding was shredded on social media for Alabama’s defensive issues.

Here’s a sample of what’s being said on Twitter:

Golding has been Alabama’s defensive coordinator for 5 seasons. Ahead of the game, Golding was asked if he’ll be back in Tuscaloosa for 2023.

“I’m still under contract, so absolutely,” Golding told reporters Thursday.
