ESPN RECAPKeelon Russell shows off dual-threat ability as No. 13 Alabama handles East Carolina 48-10
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- , Keelon Russell accounted for 335 yards and a touchdown, and No. 13 Alabama opened the season with a 48-10 victory over East Carolina on Saturday. Russell, a sophomore making his first career start after beating out Austin Mack during training camp, ran for 86 yards and a score. He also threw for 249 yards, including 130 of those to Ryan Coleman-Williams . Coleman-Williams dropped two passes in the second quarter, but Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer says his big bounce back is indicative of the trust they have in the newly named team captain. “Yeah, he went out there, made some contested catches too,” DeBoer said. “You know we’re gonna keep feeding him. He’s a relentless worker, and he’s gonna keep getting the ball.” Russell also showed why Alabama entrusted him with the offense.
