GAME BALLS

Will Reichard — Alabama would not have been in this game at all if it weren’t for Reichard’s three consecutive field goals for Alabama’s first nine points of the game. Reichard went 3 for 3 including a 51-yard field goal at the 11 minute mark in the third quarter.

Caleb Downs — Once again, the true freshman continues to put up numbers with his tackles. Downs was tied for first in tackles on the Crimson Tide defense with 10. Downs was also responsible for one of two Longhorn fumbles in the matchup.

Kobe Prentice — When Alabama needed offensive life the most, Prentice came through on back to back plays in the second quarter which led to Reichard’s second field goal. Prentice finished with 5 receptions for 68 yards.

Trezman Marshall — Marshall was also all over the defensive side of the ball and racked up 10 total tackles against the Longhorns. After only making 4 tackles against Middle Tennessee State last week, Marshall was much more active around the field.
