TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama's seven-game winning streak has revealed a new side of coach Kalen DeBoer. And it could set the tone for the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide as they move closer to securing spots in the Southeastern Conference championship game and the College Football Playoff.

Here's what South Carolina coach Shane Beamer had to say about Alabama football after the Crimson Tide dealt the Gamecocks a 'gut-wrenching' loss.

South Carolina, somehow, fell 29-22 to No. 4 Alabama on Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium. In the wake of South Carolina’s 26-7 loss to Oklahoma a week ago, there was criticism of the Gamecocks, coach Shane Beamer and the construction of this USC roster.

Then Alabama’s efficiency and ongoing consistency during their now-four game winning streak took over. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson threw for 340 yards, two touchdowns in Alabama’s 30-14 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Take a look back at how the Crimson Tide took down Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt.

Sporting more 2025 wins over ranked opponents than any team in college football, fourth-ranked Alabama finally gets a break in the loaded SEC schedule against slumping South Carolina, a team in the middle of a surprising downturn under fifth-year coach Shane Beamer.

Alabama leads the all-time series vs. USC 12-4, including a close 27-25 win in Tuscaloosa last year. The two teams have only played three times in the last 15 years. South Carolina’s one win in that period came in 2010, when the Gamecocks upset then-No. 1 Alabama 35-21 in Williams-Brice Stadium.

Alabama State football survived a thriller against Prairie View A&M, but the status of QB Andrew Body casts a dark cloud over the Hornets' latest win.

The slated kickoff between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the South Carolina Gamecocks has been pushed back by 20 minutes.
