WATCH: South Florida Cuts to Within One Point Against Alabama

Alabama is on the ropes in its Week 2 matchup against South Florida. After a great kickoff return to open up the second half, Alabama would fumble and turn the ball over to give USF an excellent field position.

For the second straight season, Alabama is in a battle with USF in a 14-13 scoreline in the third quarter.

Since the second half began, Alabama has fumbled twice, leading to two turnovers: the first on a kickoff return by Kendrick Law and the second by Jam Miller, which led to a USF turnover.

The second fumble led to a score by USF , which brought the game to a one-point game.

Alabama has struggled on offense to move the ball, committing countless penalties, and on defense to prevent the run.

The Tide are showing far more significant flaws this week after coming off a 63-0 win against Western Kentucky in Week 1. This is not the same Alabama we saw in Week 1, and fan reactions during the coverage tell how this game has gone. Alabama needs better offensive line play and better defensive coverage to contain USF to gain momentum to win this game.
