Alabama's Kalen DeBoer 'Proud' After Close South Carolina Win: You Find a Way to Win

The No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide narrowly escaped what would have been back-to-back losses as they squeaked by the South Carolina Gamecocks in a 27-25 victory on Saturday.

Crimson Tide starting quarterback Jalen Milroe completed 16 of 23 passes for 209 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions, while also rushing for two touchdowns.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer expressed relief that the team managed to "find a way to win" after the game.

"There just so many times when we talk about finding a way to win," DeBoer said in a post-game press conference. "The ball wasn't bouncing our way. But when you find a way to win when your backs against the wall like it was on the last drive there, I'm proud of these guys."

The Gamecocks (3-3) showed up to Tuscaloosa, Alabama off of a blowout loss against No. 9 Ole Miss, while Alabama (5-1) came off of a devastating loss against unranked Vanderbilt.

Both teams were seeking redemption this weekend and Alabama found theirs, regardless of how it looked.

Alabama trailed 19-14 entering the fourth quarter before outscoring the Gamecocks 13-6 in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.

Next Saturday, the Crimson Tide will face No. 8 ranked Tennessee at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
