Alabama dominates UL Monroe 73-0 in Week 2 blowout
Alabama dismantled UL Monroe 73-0 in Week 2, a lopsided contest that saw the Crimson Tide score consistently throughout the game. Alabama posted 21 points in both the first and second quarters, added 10 in the third, and put away 21 more in the fourth quarter to run away with the victory.
The Crimson Tide's offense was relentless, with Austin Mack leading the passing attack with 80 yards and Germie Bernard catching 67 receiving yards. The Alabama defense proved equally dominant, allowing UL Monroe's Dorian Lewis just 9 rushing yards, the game's leading ground gainer.
Key plays included AK Dear's 56-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, a 29-yard touchdown pass from Ty Simpson to Isaiah Horton in the second quarter, and two fourth-quarter scoring passes from Keelon Russell to Cole Adams and MJ Chirgwin. UL Monroe managed little offensive production, with its best play a 29-yard completion from Aidan Armenta to Rico Powers Jr. in the first quarter.
Alabama covered the 34-point spread and the contest went over the 50-point over-under.
