One of my favorite photos I captured from the game. Thankful to be a part of an amazing team! Hotty Toddy!
All of the drama that surrounded this game is summed up by this one image. All of the offseason noise, all of the preparation, etc.
You will not find a better photo taken in college football the rest of the season.

Brookwood native William Sanders, after navigating offseason injuries, got his chance to start for Alabama this season.
“The dream was just to be great wherever I went. But most importantly, I wanted to play down the road, 35 minutes away from home. It’s great to be here. It’s a dream and it’s a blessing come true.”
