No. 10 Alabama football dismantled Eastern Illinois 56-0 at home on Saturday.
"Just good to get a lot of guys out there today and, of course, get the win, and just a good week of practice," Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said in his opening statement during the postgame press conference. "Good locker room downstairs. Excited about a few things. One, getting a lot of guys on the field. Had some shout-outs, to some of the walk-ons in particular who put in a lot of work.
"Guys who got some stops and put the ball in the end zone, and then just looking ahead too, to the excitement of what lies ahead with the Iron Bowl. Just, the opportunities that are in front of us. And so, a lot of the things that we would have goals for are all there
"The things we set out to do at the beginning of the season, or even way back in January, right in front of us. Go attack it, and I know we're gonna do that. Love the response that we had this week, all week, and the work on practice."
The Crimson Tide offense showed a revival in the run game, while the defense allowed 34 total yards — the fewest allowed in a game since October 13, 1962. BamaCentral captured a ton of moments from Alabama's final home game of the regular season.
