Alabama football's season took a shocking turn with a 34-24 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Despite playing in front of the home fans, the Crimson Tide were helpless to stop Texas Football's ariel attack, which burned Alabama several times deep in the second half en route to the victory.
After the game, cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry addressed the loss and what it means for the season going forward.
“No one’s ever won a national championship in Week 2 or lost it,” said McKinstry, per AL.com. “We have to come together and make sure that we have everything together. The season’s still ahead of us. SEC play is still ahead of us. We have opportunities to do exactly what we want to still do as a team.”
