2013 Alabama vs. Colorado State Highlights

This game was rough to watch. One of the more frustrating wins under Saban. Alabama was only up 17-6 deep in the 4th quarter. Like you touched on, the offense was so damn inconsistent the first few games.

This was a very weird game for a number of reasons. It was Sept. 21 but still the home opener, the latest home opener I can remember. And it was definitely a slow game after the barn burner @ TAMU the week prior.

But the thing I remember the most about this game was the truly incredible sunset that happened during the game. Easily the best I’ve ever seen in Tuscaloosa (a town with great sunsets), I caught myself staring it and not watching the slow game on the field. Anyone else remember that? I’m sure there are some pics out there somewhere of it

ETA: one other funny memory is that late that night after the game I remember walking down the Strip around closing time and it was a little rowdier than usual and two CSU fans were just sitting on the curb looking terrified as if to say “is it always like this?”
