Maze is proud of his collegiate program’s ability to win close games.
College football has tough matchups, and Alabama has been in a few this season. It won low-scoring games against Ole Miss, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Tennessee. The Tide has found ways to win on offense and defense, especially with the defense recording a pivotal score against the Volunteers. We will see if it can keep the momentum going against LSU.
