Alabama 55, Utah State 0: Crimson Tide Roll to Dominant Victory
Alabama Dominates from Start to Finish
The Alabama Crimson Tide made a resounding statement on Saturday, September 3, 2022, with a resounding 55-0 shutout victory over Utah State at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Aggies, who entered the game with an 11-3 record last season, were completely overwhelmed by the Crimson Tide's suffocating defense and potent offense.
Alabama Defense Shuts Down Aggies
The Alabama defense was in top form, holding Utah State to just 161 yards of total offense. The Aggies were unable to generate any momentum on the ground, totaling just 52 rushing yards. Quarterback Logan Bonner was under constant pressure, completing only 15 of 35 passes for 109 yards. The Tide forced three turnovers, including two interceptions by cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Alabama Offense Rolls
While the defense was stifling, the Alabama offense was equally impressive. Bryce Young threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns, while Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown. The Crimson Tide offense was unstoppable, scoring on seven of its first eight possessions. Alabama's offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage, creating holes for the running backs and giving Young ample time to throw.
Alabama Stays Unbeaten
With the win, Alabama improves to 1-0 on the season. The Crimson Tide will look to continue their dominance next week when they host Texas in a highly anticipated matchup. Utah State, now 1-1, will look to rebound when they host Weber State next Saturday.
