Alabama had its back against the wall against Texas entering the fourth quarter. Then, Bryce Young found a groove — and, eventually, put the Crimson Tide back out in front.

Young led an impressive drive before finding Jahmyr Gibbs for a touchdown to help Alabama take back the lead, 17-16, over Texas on Saturday. It was the exclamation point on an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that started with 12:25 left in the game.

It was quite a response from Alabama, which saw Texas extend its lead to 16-10 thanks to a field goal on the previous drive. For Gibbs, it was his eighth reception of the day as he continues to emerge as a key part of the Crimson Tide offense.

“This is my first conversation with coach Saban, and I can tell you he wasn’t happy,” Taft said. “He said, ‘That was not Alabama football. We did not play well, we did not execute well, we did not play our brand.’ I simply said, ‘Coach, can they change it?’ He looked at me and said, ‘We will see.’ He is not happy with his guys. You can feel the energy coming out of that locker room.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Rittenburg, Alabama’s 11 penalties in the first half were the most in the Saban era. The Crimson Tide offense also failed to get much going, as quarterback Bryce Young finished with just 71 yards passing and no touchdowns.
