This week in Alabama talk

The shows spent the week debating whether Alabama could handle its SEC road opener at Kentucky, with most taking Alabama but some picking Kentucky in a closer game. Alabama won 45-17 but trailed at halftime, a first under DeBoer, before dominating the second half. The talk kept coming back to Keelon Russell's first road start and whether his solid week one performance was legit or just came against weak competition.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

In this week's clips: Keelan Russell, Daniel Hill, Keelon Russell, Kenny Minchey, CJ Baxter, Ryan Coleman-Williams, Yhonzae Pierre, Austin Mack.
