TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The skies were clear Saturday night, but No. 4 Alabama turned in a sloppy performance against South Florida for a second straight season. The Crimson Tide pour it on late after struggling for most of the game in a 42-16 victory over the Bulls, avoiding a Week 2 upset ahead of its trip to Wisconsin next week.

Much like its 17-3 win at South Florida last season, Alabama failed to move the ball consistently while facing constant pressure from the Bulls’ defense. Instead of the monsoon-like weather it faced in Tampa, Florida last year, the Tide washed out its own momentum with 13 penalties resulting in 120 yards. Still, an inspired defensive performance paired with a few big plays late proved to be enough for Alabama to avoid disaster.

Here’s how the Tide graded out on the evening.
