Before their game against Western Kentucky, the Alabama football team heard some trash talk from their opponent’s quarterback, TJ Finley. He said Alabama “might not be who they think they are.” This made Alabama’s players angry and motivated them to play even harder.
Alabama’s coach had retired, and many players had left the team, so some people thought Alabama’s winning streak was over. But Alabama’s players wanted to prove them wrong.
In the game, Alabama scored 63 points and didn’t let Western Kentucky score any points. Alabama’s player, Tyler Booker, said Finley’s comments were “a little disrespectful” and added fuel to their fire. Booker said they wanted to show Western Kentucky who they really are.
Finley, the Western Kentucky quarterback, had played against Alabama before and lost. He had also played against Alabama’s current defensive coach, Kane Wommack, and won. But this time, Finley didn’t do well and was even taken out of the game.
Alabama proved their doubters wrong and showed they are still a strong team. Finley’s comments didn’t age well, and Alabama got the last laugh.
