That many injuries isn't just bad luck. Could be overtraining.



I tend to believe this myself, it's a polarizing topic amongst Bama fans, but when you have THIS many high profile players at key positions going down year after year, you can't just chalk it up 100% to bad luck. There is a common denominator somewhere and it's not random chance.

But what’s changed? It’s the same strength and conditioning staff and medical staff that Alabama has had since 2007. Scott Cochran and Jeff Allen has been mainstays.

this is always a possibility, but in this instance I don't think so. Most of your guys were hurt early on-- how many were down before the first game? I don't remember, but I remember thinking it was a big number... I think after a physical game like LSU/Ala each team is physically exhausted during the following game and rack up more injuries due to exhaustion and poor form. It's been happening for years. Its just wild how many serious injuries Bama suffered, both before the season and during Miss State.
Tua's injury was just a freak thing. Wish him the best.
