City passes $57 million budget

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Alexander City has a budget on time and its leaders are proud.

The $57 million budget includes raises for some city employees and $8 million for capital projects. The budget has an estimated operating surplus of $3.4 million on operating revenues of $52.8 million, using reserves to support a little more than half of the capital expenditures.

“Tonight is a night to be proud of,” Mayor Jim Nabors said. “I am happy to be here tonight.”

Local Habitat for Humanity celebrates 16th house

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Representatives from the Habitat for Humanity of the Alexander City Area joined the family and friends of Latrice Benson Sunday afternoon to celebrate the completion of Habitat for Humanity’s 16th house constructed in the Alexander City area.

“I want to thank everybody for their support,” Benson said as the crowd gathered in her brand new living room and kitchen. “I’m very appreciative of everyone and everything they did.”

The house, a one-story home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms located on County Road, is one of the largest layout plans Habitat for Humanity offers for construction.

“This is the biggest house we’ve constructed here in our area,” local Habitat for Humanity director Larry Bates said. “This is what we’re glad to do. Everyone is blessed through this ministry.”

SOCIAL SECURITY FAYE EDMONDSON Attorney at Law

DEAR ABBY: My older sister, “Lily,” is in a biracial marriage and has a son. Our dad never approved. He gave her an ultimatum when she first met “Rodney”: Choose between him or our family.

She chose Rodney.

After 30 years of Dad not speaking to her and influencing us siblings to feel the same way, our mother died and Dad rekindled his relationship with Lily. He’s 82 now, and he puts her and her family first. He spends a lot of money on them and spends a lot of time with her and her son.

The rest of us feel so much resentment. I realize he’s making up for lost time and feels guilty. But it’s sickening when we remember how he pushed us to feel the way he did back then and now expects us to do an emotional 180. We are OK with being with our sister and her family. It’s Dad we’re having the problem with. How do we move

DEAR ABBY Advice

on? -- UPSET IN THE EAST DEAR UPSET: I wish you had mentioned what caused your father’s change of heart because it would have been a valuable lesson for a lot of readers. He did a disservice to ALL of you by teaching hate rather than love and acceptance. Now you have decades of lost time to make up for.

Anger, resentment and bigotry serve no one well. Your father recognizes the mistake he made by shunning his daughter and her family, and he’s trying to make up for it.

As I write this, I’m reminded of a line from the “Peace Prayer of St. Francis”: “Where there

Florence Marie Hanvey Johnson Florence Marie Hanvey Johnson, age 86, returned to her Heavenly home on Sunday, September 30, 2018 surrounded by family in Fairhope, Alabama. Her devotion to her family and friends and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. She was the widow of Ruel Johnson with whom she shared many years of happiness.

Born in Ohatchee, Alabama, she was the daughter to Jessie and Addie Hanvey. She attended Ohatchee High School where she was a cheerleader. She went on to graduate the Anniston School of Nursing, and spent her career as a Registered Nurse. She worked for various hospitals and ultimately spent over twenty years assisting in private practice in Montgomery, Alabama.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Fairhope, Alabama. She enjoyed volunteering and numerous outreach activities in the churches she attended throughout her lifetime. During her time in Montgomery, she was involved in the youth ministry at Normondale Baptist Church. When she and her husband, Ruel Johnson, retired to Alexandria, Alabama, they developed a senior program for adults at Post Oak Springs Baptist Church. After his passing, and her move to Alexander City, Alabama, she enjoyed working as a member of the First Baptist Church in Alex City. There she volunteered in the library, worked to help families in need at the crisis center, taught vacation bible school, and sewed many little dresses for missionary work.

Marie continued to volunteer during her time in Fairhope, visiting the sick, sewing more dresses and encouraging others in every way possible with the message of Jesus Christ.

She is survived by her children, Michael Johnson and his wife Rosemary, David Johnson and his wife Sonia, her grandchildren Heather Johnson Pappas (married to George Pappas) and Benjamin Johnson. She also had two great grandchildren, Jack Henry and Shepard Pappas.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Ruel Weaver Johnson and son Max. The graveside service will be held at Ohatchee Cemetery in Ohatchee, Alabama on Saturday, the 6th of October at 10 a.m. with reception following in the Ohatchee Baptist Church fellowship hall. We will not be holding visitation or viewing as requested

by Marie.

DEAR ABBY: I have worked for my husband, “Ben,” in a small firm for 20 years, but members of my family still think I don’t have a “real” job. I did it so I’d have flexibility in taking care of our children, participating in PTA and other school activities, and be involved in the community. This benefits us not only as a family but also Ben’s business.

I work a 40-plus-hour week, just not necessarily 9 to 5. So why does my family think they can call me at work, especially on my cell, for non-work-related issues?

They wouldn’t call their friends

or children at work, so why, despite my asking them REPEATEDLY not to, do they still call, or worse, drop in?

How can I make them stop bothering me? -- AT WORK DEAR AT WORK: Because you have asked your relatives not to call between certain hours, screen your calls before answering your phone.

When they ask why you didn’t pick up, repeat the message that you were working and please not to call you at that time. If they drop in, quit being so available. Repeat that they have come at a time that’s inconvenient, and give them a time when you can socialize.

Good for your father! The way for you to move on would be to recognize it’s time to forgive him for the damage he caused your family because, if you don’t, you and your siblings will perpetuate it.

Council

continued from page 1

“It is the first time in six years the council has passed a budget on time,” Alexander City City Council President Tommy Spraggins said.

Council member Bobby Tapley questioned using reserves to support the capital expenditures.

“I understand everything the department heads need and want,” Tapley said. “I am not comfortable spending money we don’t have.”

City finance director Sandy Stanbrough explained the revenues in the budget were conservatively estimated.

She also explained some of the cost increases come from staffing while implanting the next phase of the internal pay study. Those will cost $385,000 in salary and there are also benefits, but some of the savings will also come from expanding staffing.

“We also have a small number of positions authorized but not funded in the past,” Stanbrough said. “We are adding a couple positions not previously authorized but will see savings from professional services.”

Other council members thought it was an investment in the city, believing it will help keep city services going.

“It is time to stop kicking the can

down the road,” council member Tim Funderburk said. “It is time to care of business and make an investment in the future.”

“I love turning my lights on everyday,” council member Buffy Colvin said. “I love flushing my toilet everyday.”

The budget passed with all but Tapley supporting the measure.

The council passed a resolution to lease the old Recycling Building near the airport to Aliquam Holdings, LLC for $1 a month for three years for a restaurant, but not without discussion.

“We have had a business come to us,” community development director Al Jones said. “They are going to renovate it and put a restaurant in it. The city would not be involved in converting it.”

Some council members thought the agreement gives one business an advantage over others.

“This is not fair,” Tapley said. “It gives them an unfair advantage. It’s not fair because other businesses in town paying fair market price.”

After three years, rent goes to $500 and Aliquam is responsible for any building upgrades. The council agreed to lease the building, but Tapley and

Colvin voted against the agreement.

The council amended the agenda to include authorizing the mayor to apply for an ADECA grant in the amount of $300,000 to relocate utilities and C&J Tech.

“They want to expand into the parking lot,” Jones said. “It would be a warehouse. We do not want them to build over water and sewer lines.”

Jones said the expansion would create another 100 jobs at C&J Tech. The city match would be $248,000 and will come from $350,000 in funds the Lake Martin Economic Development Authority was holding from the sale of the property to Korens.

Jones said since he was in the twoyear window since working at ADECA, the mayor and Lake Martin Economic Development Authority’s Don McClellan spoke to ADECA and they had funds available. He also stated the measure would not change the budget in practice for fiscal year 2019, but the council would have to amend the budget to accept the funds and to make the match for the grant.

The council also heard from Radney Elementary sixth-graders Rihanna Greathouse and Cerynity Price about the Stop Bullying T-shirts and program

they have received attention for.

The council also: • passed a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a memorandum of understanding with ARISE for in-kind services.

• passed a resolution authorizing Alabama Power to install two street lights and poles in the new White Oak Landing subdivision.

• passed a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a FEMA grant application for the fire department for an air compressor to fill breathing apparatuses.

• passed a resolution to award a bid to S&G Electric to install lighting at the Sportplex stadium.

View

Educate yourself before you vote and be civil

D

o you mark the ballot only once, checking either Democrat or Republican?

Why? Do you think one party has all the answers?

We at The Outlook do not think any one party has all the answers.

We want to encourage everyone to look logically at all candidates.

Look at their websites. Talk to your friends and neighbors.

Read everything you can get your hands on about the issues in the campaigns, but realize some articles are slanted. Are those articles from left leaning sources or right leaning sources? Make sure if you are reading from one side of the fence to read from the other as well. Some media organizations do not present all of the information.

In fact, some intentionally leave out information on purpose, so be sure to be well informed before coming to a conclusion about a candidate or issue.

We encourage you to meet candidates when they are in the community. Make sure to have your questions ready. If there are forums, go to them and see how candidates handle themselves. In any case, observe them. How do they treat others? Do they treat others as you want to be treated? How do they treat those who disagree with them? Do they still listen to the opposing viewpoint? Are they civil?

The Outlook believes candidates should converse with all they represent, not just those they always agree with. Having those conversations may sway a decision or process.

At the same time, voters should be civil to the candidates. They have made a decision to open themselves up to be securitized by us, the voters.

While we cannot always agree on everything and will have differing opinions from time to time, let’s keep it civil in the times we disagree.

Outlook The

Same song, second verse W e still don’t know, though some on all sides say they “know.”

Democrats and the media pleaded the past two weeks for the FBI to investigate the charges.

The FBI is now investigating the charges. Now, some Democrats and the media are saying the FBI investigation will not be “fair,” and cannot be trusted.

From what I’ve learned, it’s not unusual for Senate committees to receive confidential allegations against those nominated for office. Normally, when senators receive such charges they and their staffs decide whether the charges are credible. If so, they submit the allegations to Senate investigators, the FBI, or to both for investigation. Those investigations can remain confidential unless someone makes them public.

In this particular case, the Democrats, Dr. Ford, and whomever they told about the allegations were the only sources that could have made the story public. Sen. Feinstein has said “the media” made the story public. Who leaked to the media? No Republican has said he or she knew about the allegations before they were made public.

Sen. Grassly and Republican members of the judiciary committee offered Dr. Ford and her lawyers several options to testify about the allegations, including flying committee members to California to hear Dr. Ford’s allegations privately and confidentially.

Dr. Ford testified she had not heard about that

DANIEL L. GARDNER Columnist

option, even though many news sources had reported this and other options the Republicans had offered.

Did Ford’s lawyers fail to tell her? Why did Ford not know?

I found Dr. Ford’s testimony to be credible. I found Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony to be credible. Many have said both testimonies can’t be true and one of them “must” be lying. Could both be telling the truth as they know or remember it?

Kavanaugh testified he unequivocally and absolutely has never committed any such acts against anyone.

Absolutely convinced of Kavanaugh’s guilt, #MeToo supporters have rallied around the nation and in the halls and rooms of congress attacking Republican members of the committee, even charging them with being complicit in every sexual attack that has ever occurred. All men have been warned to “shut up” because we might say something that’s hurtful.

I feel great empathy and sympathy for both Ford and Kavanaugh, their families and close friends.

After Kavanaugh testified, defending himself, his family and his friends, Democrats and the media said he demonstrated he did not have the demeanor of a judge. In that hearing, Kavanaugh was not in the role of a judge, but was a defendant who believed

he had been falsely and maliciously accused of a vile crime. Why would an innocent man whose wife and little girls had been verbally brutalized for the past ten days maintain a judge-like demeanor when senators continually attacked him over teenaged antics he may or may not have participated in high school? Kavanaugh believes he’s innocent. We still don’t know.

The FBI will investigate and submit a report to the committee and the White House. We likely will not learn anything we don’t already know, and we certainly will not hear conclusive evidence proving the allegations.

Democrats, media, and #MeToo will continue to condemn Kavanaugh.

The full senate will vote up or down whether to seat Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

I’ll end this week’s column with the same sentences I wrote last week.

Yes, the liberals/progressives/Democrats are the primary predators in this case, but establishment politicians, operatives, and media of all stripes bear responsibility for the divisiveness they have spawned among grassroots Americans.

Regardless of the outcome, #ResistTrump has guaranteed another lose-lose ending for all Americans.

I have never been so disgusted at the legislative process of our country as I was last week during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Senator Lindsey Graham summed up my feelings at the conclusion of the hearings. What has happened to the bi-partisan process to evaluate a candidate for the Supreme Court? Or for anyone associated with our President Donald Trump’s administration? The Democratic Party has shown its true colors and just how low it will go to obstruct anything President Trump endorses. Brett Kavanaugh has a spotless reputation.

Six separate FBI background

checks on Brett Kavanaugh with nothing to show. The fact that the Democrats had to go back 36 years to high school to find an allegation of a groping incident, not sexual assault which so far has absolutely no verification shows how desperate the Democratic Party has become. The Democrats are losers, plain and simple.

The double standard, hypocritical attitude of the Democratic Party is sickening. The co-chair of the Democratic Party beat and physically abused his girlfriend in front of her child to the point she had to seek medical attention in an emergency room, which was documented on two separate occasions. Still, the rank and file Democrats and the left leaning media refuses

to report or to condemn the Muslim Keith Ellison. Two of the Democrat Senators on the Judiciary committee, Blumenthal and Booker should not be allowed to question the credibility of anyone. Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam and Booker is a perverted groper. I just hope the FBI investigation ends before Kavanaugh’s mother is questioned on whether or not she breast fed her son Brett Kavanaugh for fear of being charged with an incestuous relationship.

Don’t put anything past the Democrats. And that is all I am going to say about that.

WE CAN HELP.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pressure builds. Your understanding and bright solutions will help improve whatever project you take on. As always, your instincts come out to direct you when chaos or confusion erupts. You could Ă&#x201E;nd that a diÉ&#x2C6;erent approach might be better for everyone involved. Tonight: Head home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You tend to express yourself deliberately and with thought. You love brainstorming sessions and get-togethers with your peers. Often, if you share more, you inspire others, and vice versa. Once an issue is resolved, you will want to celebrate.

Tonight: Out and about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be aware of the cost of continuing as you have. You have gone overboard in several diÉ&#x2C6;erent ways as of late. Before you have to pay the piper, attempt to rein yourself in.

Your imagination might cause you a problem in being realistic. Tonight: Pay bills, then decide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to a loved one. Ask yourself if you have a more eÉ&#x2C6;ective way of helping pull this person out of the doldrums. Know that a partner could be unusually controlling. If you do not want to deal with this, do not react. Tonight: Share your thoughts with those around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Read between the lines with others.

You also might need to take a break from your present pace. Communication proves to be exciting and allows greater give-and-take between you and others. A change of pace in the near future seems appropriate. Tonight: Ask a friend for some feedback.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A meeting could be provocative and changeable. Once you get past your initial reaction, you could be surprised by what is happening around you. Know that others are well-intended. You might be confused by a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction.

Tonight: Remain optimistic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take charge and do not feel intimidated by a higher-up. Communication Ă&#x2026;ourishes and inspires you with a work-related matter. Pull away from someone who indicates a my-way-or-the-highway situation.

Refuse to be intimidated. Tonight: Take the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? out of your vocabulary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to a loved one or an expert at a distance. Until you speak to a particular person, you could feel as though you have no choice. Use caution with the words you choose.

Someone might be pushing you too hard to agree with him or her.

Tonight: Treat your mind to music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with others on a one-on-one level. Many ideas and thoughts could Ă&#x2026;oat between you. If you are bored by life, you might change those feelings within the next few days. Go with the Ă&#x2026;ow. An associate becomes somewhat rebellious.

Tonight: Be direct with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of how a personal situation could change if given half a chance. You tend to make demands on others. You also put some hard terms on them. If someone walks away as a result, do not be surprised. Being Ă&#x201E;rm does not work with everyone. Tonight: Listen to a request.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to news carefully. You have a lot of ground to cover; if you stay focused, you will be able to do just that. Use care with your Ă&#x201E;nances.

You might not be getting all the facts right now, so wait until you are sure that you have them. Tonight: Try a healthy dinner for two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to be more creative and dynamic than you have been in the recent past. Others often feel inspired by you, but they are not sure that they can get behind one of your ideas. Make sure you let them know that the idea is workable. Tonight: Let go and enjoy!

said everyone who was involved did what they did out of a heart of love, while one of the contractors involved in the construction, Charles Gettys, spoke about what it meant to him to be involved in the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a lot and made some good friends throughout this project,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to appreciate all of you involved. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully realize the commitment in this town for Habitat until you get involved.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, Gettys offered up special thanks to local companies who provided materials during construction, including Wellborn Forest, who donated the cabinets installed throughout the house and Russell Do it Center, among many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about all of our subcontractors as well,â&#x20AC;? Gettys said.

Along with the comments from Gettys and Bates, Ronnie Betts led the crowd in the song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loving Jesus,â&#x20AC;? while Teresa Harrell Moten offered a special prayer and Benson was given a Bible with the date of the celebration written inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel a blessing every time I hear this song,â&#x20AC;? Betts said before singing.

Moten added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited for Latrice and her family. This is a joyous occasion.â&#x20AC;?

After everyone had a chance to speak, join in the singing and offer up an invocation for Benson, her family and their new house, the crowd was welcome to join in a reception and take a look around the house.

As the event began to wrap up, Bates said the Habitat for Humanity of the Alexander City Area is planning to begin work on its 17th house in the spring of 2019, while Benson and her four children were thankful to be taking ownership of their own home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never owned a place of my own,â&#x20AC;? Benson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be moving in. It meant a lot, seeing so many people wanting to come together to help.â&#x20AC;?

Sports Outlook The

The top 10 college teams through 5 weeks

Tuesday, October 2, 2018

P

reseason polls are scrutinized every year.

Critics claim early voting leads to misconceptions and team biases. While I agree in theory, the polls do generally LUKE work themselves out when it comes to the ROBINSON top teams.

Columnist However, how much different would the Top 25 look if the initial voting was done after this last Saturday — after we have had five solid weeks to absorb real football, not simply prognosticate based on expectations? Well, let’s take a look (with the notable exception that I am only doing 10 teams).

10. Central Florida: Shocker right out of the gate! Giving a “Group of Five” team credit when, frankly, there are zero good wins as a part of the body of work is not part of my usual routine, but UCF has continued to win and win and win. The Golden Knights still need a lot of luck to make the Playoffs, but it is within sight now.

9. West Virginia: The Mountaineers have a great quarterback and fantastic receiving corps. The defense is much better than normal, too. I am also giving them credit for at least scheduling and defeating an SEC team (although Tennessee hardly plays like one).

8. Kentucky: Hey-O! Go Big Blue!

The Cats have given Mark Stoops time to build his team and he has done an amazing job. All of a sudden, Georgia has a competitor in the SEC East.

7. Notre Dame: Is it me or does ND still get under-appreciated because Alabama kicked the Irish like Mario kicks turtles in the BCS title game of 2013? This squad is pretty good and now it has a win over a (then) top-ten team in Stanford. With a pretty easy slate the rest of the way, be prepared for a Notre dame love-fest here on out.

6. Georgia: Do the Dawgs look strong? Yes. Have they handled business like Gordon Gekko on a sugar high? Yup. But, they have showed signs of potential weaknesses and boredom at times. Jake Fromm has been good, but not great as expected. He will need to step his game up for UGA to be in the CFP. 5. Oklahoma: There is a lot of like about the Sooners, but at some point, they are going to have to stop somebody to win a big game. Two weekends ago, Army kept OU’s powerful offense on the bench with ball control. That may be the only way to stop the Sooners’ attack.

4. LSU: Two extremely nice wins counteract the lack of great quarterback play. Although — and this should scare the rest of the SEC — Joe Burrow had some beautiful passes against Ole Miss last Saturday. If he continues to improve, LSU can beat UGA and Alabama.

3. Clemson: The Tigers are playing with quarterback fire now, but a win is a win. Like West Virginia, they also have an SEC out of conference win on their resume which helps. The game against NC State in a few weeks looms large though.

2. Alabama: No one has been more dominant than Alabama. No quarterback has looked better than Tua. No group of receivers is more dangerous than Devonta Smith, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy and Jaylon Waddle.

The only slight blemish on the Tide’s application for No. 1 (besides the perpetually horrific kicking game) is the fact there is no quality win yet. Those are coming, but they haven’t come yet.

That’s not the Tide’s fault, but it is their albatross for the moment.

1. Ohio State: I cannot stand putting Ohio State here, but despite their coach’s questionable antics off of the field, the top spot is where the Buckeyes belong. This ranking is based on what they have done to lesser competition and their big win against Penn State. Alabama can certainly supplant OSU, but not until it beat a team like, say, LSU on the road.

Until then, my nod would go to the Buckeyes.

Even though the above would be my top ten now, if pressed I would put Notre Dame, Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State in the playoffs. Those teams have the best combo of talent, coaching and schedule.

It took more than six hours, but No. 10 Auburn beat Southern Miss 24-13 Saturday on Homecoming at JordanHare Stadium.

A 164-minute weather delay late in the first half made for a long day and night for players and fans alike.

“I want to thank our fans for sticking around,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.

“That was a long delay and the fans really stuck it out. I really appreciate them.”

Christian Tutt’s interception in the fourth quarter led to Anders Carlson’s field goal, sealing Auburn’s victory.

Jarrett Stidham’s 53-yard pass to Darius Slayton set up Stidham’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Chandler Cox, giving Auburn a 21-6 lead with 5:39 in the third quarter.

Southern Miss made it a one-possession game with a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, but Auburn’s defense held firm, tallying 12

Stidham completed 19 of 33 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Kam Martin rushed for 90 yards on 24 carries.

“I definitely wanted to hit a couple long balls, get back into the rhythm of hitting those guys downfield,” Stidham said. “We had some guys make some plays and bail me out.”

The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (5-0) jumped out to a 28-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back en route to a 56-14 win over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (1-3) Saturday.

Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was perfect on the day, going 8 of 8 passing for 128 yards and two touchdowns and leading two other scoring drives in his four series of action. Tagovailoa, junior Jalen Hurts and redshirt freshman Mac Jones combined for 340 yards and four touchdowns on 13-of-16 attempts.

Freshman Jaylen Waddle returned a punt 63 yards for a first-quarter touchdown and snared the first two touchdown receptions of his career, including a 94-yarder from Jones that equals the second longest scoring strike

in school history. Sophomore wide out Henry Ruggs III led the Tide and set career highs in receiving yards (115), catches (five) and touchdowns (two).

On the ground, junior running back Josh Jacobs tied his career high with two rushing touchdowns, while sophomore Najee Harris led the way with 73 yards and a touchdown as the Tide totaled 268 yards on the ground.

Alabama finished the game with 608 total yards, surpassing the 500-total yard mark for the fifth time this season, marking the first time in school history a Tide team has reached that milestone in five consecutive games. The 56 points also gives the Tide a school-record string of five games in a row with 45 points or more.

Defensively, junior Deionte Thompson paced the Tide with a team-high seven tackles. Junior Trevon Diggs and sophomore Xavier McKinney each recorded an interception.
