Well, Arkansas's QB will perform better than Alabama's this year. That much is a GIVEN by the fact that Austin Allen (despite only being a 4* recruit) has been in this system for three years now.

Sure, being a 5* recruit matters, but being a freshman matters even more. If you deny this, you don't understand football very well.

Does this mean that Arkansas is going to beat Alabama this year? Not at all. I only bring it up to point out that you are facing a talent laden team in week one with a freshman under center, a new defensive coordinator, and a new defensive line coach.

If you think Alabama is -- FOR CERTAIN, WITHOUT DOUBT -- going to beat USC in week one, you are crazy.

Also, Alabama is going to lose to Arkansas. But it won't be because of the QB.

Who said we was gonna start a freshman, more than likely cooper bateman starts and he is a redshirt junior. He has just as much if not more time in the system as Austin Allen. I do firmly believe we will beat USC and Arkansas, but I also believe its gonna be harder to beat Arkansas than it was the two previous years though.

If Bama gets solid leadership watch out. Talent wins 9 but replacing Ashawn, Reggie and Ryans leadership is the key to the other 3.
