Keelon Russell will make his first career start at Alabama against East Carolina. Here's what to know about the Crimson Tide's sophomore QB:

The Alabama Crimson Tide used a dominant fourth quarter run to pull away for a 45-17 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats on the road, improving to 2-0 on the season.

Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer didn’t sugarcoat Keelon Russell’s first-half performance at Kentucky. “He’s got to stay away from those big mistakes,” he told the Crimson Tide Sports Network after being down 17-13 at halftime to the Wildcats. “We put ourselves in some tough spots.”

The Alabama quarterback overcame three first-half turnovers to guide the Crimson Tide to a 45-17 win over Kentucky.

The Alabama Crimson Tide managed to win the game against Kentucky despite first-half struggles from quarterback Keelon Ruseell, but he's not looking for any excuses and is squashing narratives about his inexperience.
