Alabama also cleared the century-mark in wins over Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State, Indiana State, South Alabama and Liberty. This is the first time the Crimson Tide have scored 100+ points in SEC play this season.
However, as coach Nate Oats pointed out after the game, Alabama has been close on a couple of other occasions. Alabama scored 99 against Oregon, 98 against Mercer and 93 against Missouri.
