It's crazy how low his stock fell. If he doesn't get injured, he's an all American and first round pick.

If it weren't for a miracle against Clemson in the 2015 title game, the 2013 class would have left UA with nothing but degrees and conference titles...

Such a travesty they leave college having finished in the top 5 3 years in a row and having an invaluable item to further their post football careers.

Oh dont get me wrong, they were some awesome football players and etched their legacies in Bama history. Just not as accolade-laden when compared to the 2008 class.

The class would have had more national titles had it delivered an elite quarterback too. We would not have had to rush a young Jalen Hurts into leading the offense as a true freshman.

What was the miracle? I must've missed it.

Also, one could say if it weren't for a bad break (Eddie) they could have left with 2 national titles. Clemson likely doesn't beat this Bama team with Jackson in the secondary. It doesn't come down to a play with :01 on the clock.

Or a literal break with Bo's leg.

Kenyan Drake kick return. Onsides kick that worked.

Those were bordering on miraculous acts of God.

The 1st round games against UW & MSU were glorified scrimmages.

Nah, the onside kick was a great coaching call. The coaches had seen on film that Clemson left one side of the field empty on kick returns.

The kick return was a heroic and all out effort play by a hell of a player in Drake.

bruh. I don't even know how to respond here. Bama has been KNOWN for non-offensive TDs lately. Hardly a miracle.

Onsides kicks usually have low odds when other team is expecting it, like Clemson's onsides kick at the end of that game, but high odds when the other team isn't expecting (like Bama in the '07 Tennessee game and in the '15 Clemson game).

A miracle in football terms is what AU did to UGA in 2013 or the Kick Six (a missed FG returned for TD has only happened 4 times in college football since 1960 and only ONE time at end of game to end the game...THAT was a miracle).
