As a Bama fan, I've been able to watch Jalen Hurts for the past four years. He is a great athlete, and a tough competitor. He has improved dramatically as a passer in the last two seasons; he took a major leap upward this year in Lincoln Riley's system. But I still don't see him as a game changer...

A take from a Bama fan: Neither Alabama or LSU have shown the typical suffocating defenses, that is usually their calling card. Both defenses have improved substantially in the past few weeks, but both still show weaknesses that you normally don't see from these two squads (I have a theory on th...

You're right. Bama doesn't have big receivers. They do have four of the best WRs I've ever seen at Tuscaloosa. Last year Bama had Irv Smith at TE, and he was a force. This year Miller Forestall has been the goto TE, but he mainly is a blocker. Against LSU, he won't be that. He suffered a throa...

I'm a Bama fan, but think you make some good points. I would not be that shocked if Tua does a "Nick Bosa" and calls it a career. NFL scouts have tons of tape to review, plus the combine(s). They'll probably know all they need to know about Tua's ability from those two sources. On the other ...

Every now, and then you see someone who handles themselves with class; this is certainly the case with Mike Locksley. Since he was first announced as a candidate for the Maryland job, and up to the present, he has set the bar when it comes to how to handle a difficult situation. The guy has not ...

[quote]Like Georgia but on steroids only difference is they have 2 national championship since Georgia last won theirs so does Lsu,auburn,Florida, Usc, Texas, oklahoma,Fsu, Georgia tech, Miami, Ohio State Couple of points to ponder: (a) What does UGA National Championships have to do with anyt...

Yes ticket prices are down. Attendance for the National Championship will probably be down. There may be a general malaise about watching Bama vs Clemson IV, so the TV audience may be down. One cure for the CFP would be to announce the location of the Natty, after the semis are played. They cou...

Bama vs Clemson IV This may be the best matchup of the four. In 2015 Bama rode Derrick Henry to a NC. Jake Coker was a baller (and maybe my all-time favorite QB at the Capstone), but he was no Deshaun Watson. But Coker made enough plays that Henry, and Special Teams were able to get a "W" ...

I watched several of Notre Dame's games (thought that Bama might get them in the CFP). On the whole, this is a much better football team than Bama played in 2012. They are extremely well coached, especially on defense; rarely out of position. Book is a top-notch QB. He reminds me a lot of Ch...

These guys are engaging in a cut-throat business. Whether I like Kirby Smart's recruiting tactics, or not, is irrelevant; Bama (and all of the other schools) have to out recruit him, because the guy is a force. As far as being ranked 1, 2, 3, or 4 in recruiting, it doesn't seem to matter to me. ...
