TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – William Vlachos didn’t have to say anything to fellow offensive lineman Chance Warmack after his Saturday night mistake.

Correcting the first holding flag thrown on a Alabama offensive lineman in 42 quarters was up to someone on the payroll.

“Coach [Nick Saban] got in his ear pretty good,” the starting center said. “That was a QB draw and he did hold the guy. Those are rookie mistakes and just part of the growing pains of playing.”
