Alabama football needed a spark in the second half against South Florida.
It was clinging to a 14-13 lead over the Bulls when Elijah Pritchett replace Wilkin Formby on the offensive line in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide exploded for 28 points in the final period. Jalen Milroe had two touchdown passes, Jam Miller had an impressive 56-yard touchdown run, and Justice Haynes ripped off a 29-yard rushing score. All of this happened with Pritchett mowing down defensive players and providing marquee energy. He wanted to be on the field and needed to be out there.
