| FTBL UA's recap video of win over Western Kentucky...

No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide

Kalen DeBoer's debut at Alabama underscored why he rose from relative obscurity to replace the greatest college coach of all time in Nick Saban. DeBoer's offenses are dominant and flashy, and Alabama's had room to grow after last season. The Crimson Tide stormed out to a 42-0 halftime lead against Western Kentucky, which had never trailed by so many points at the half since it joined the FBS in 2007.

Quarterback Jalen Milroe had 169 yards and three touchdowns on only four completions in the first half and recorded his third career game with at least three touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. Freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams had touchdown receptions of 84 and 55 yards in his debut, while running back Justice Haynes and others had big nights. Alabama held WKU's typically powerful offense to 103 passing yards, 2.2 yards per play and zero points. -- Adam Rittenberg
