TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Last week's dominant victory over Western Kentucky was Alabama's first home game of the season in Bryant-Denny Stadium and the premier win in the Kalen DeBoer era. But the name of the renowned football mecca changed on Saturday afternoon as legendary head coach Nick Saban lifted a cloth outside of the Walk of Champions that read "Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium."

While two concurrent eras being featured in one game is historic, not everything was magic in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night, as wide receiver/punt returner Cole Adams went down with an injury.

On a key third down in the red zone at the start of the fourth quarter, Adams caught a pass off to the right side but fell on what appears to be his right arm or wrist. Adams gained enough yards to put Alabama at first-and-goal at the 5-yard line.

Adams was able to get up on his on his own and the trainers escorted him off the field as he held his right arm.
