It was business as usual for Alabama on Saturday night.
Behind the arm of Jalen Hurts and the legs of Joshua Jacobs, the Crimson Tide soundly beat Kentucky at home by a score of 34-6.
Alabama held UK’s passing offense in check, and also obliterated the Wildcats’ ground game — holding them to a 2.0 yards-per-carry average for the game.
Head coach Nick Saban had some thoughts on the win after the game:
Nick Saban said that his decision to hold out Tim Williams in the first half would be the extent of his punishment.

Nick Saban: "We just have to be more consistent in the passing game."

Coach Nick Saban on Joshua Jacobs: He's done a nice job for us. We have a lot of confidence in him and Damien Harris.

Coach Nick Saban said Damien Harris (high ankle sprain) was cleared to play in the game, but they decided not to play him as much.

Coach Nick Saban: "I don't think we imposed our will in the first half like we could've, should've or wanted to."

Coach Nick Saban: "I thought we executed better in the second half. I thought we were sloppy in the first half"
