CKD has lost just 2 games at Alabama when the offense produced 21 points

Vandy: 40-35 (2024)
OU: 23-21 (2025)
No reason for Grubb to fail to produce 24-28 in every single SEC game this coming season. The offensive personnel is sufficient for a good OC to do so.
Defense has only played poorly enough to lose to FSU, IU, and Vandy (2024) out of CKD’s 27 games so far. Not bad. 2020 defense allowed 40+ points three times that year for context.
I believe the 2026 defense will be the best group they’ve fielded thus far:
- Very big up Front. They finally have the 320lb bodies to play the 3/Shade and the 290lb bodies for the 4/4i/5-tech….no more 265lb 4-techs (Renaud) that get moved off the ball.
- Yhonzae Pierre is one of the best pass rushers in the SEC and will be a 1st rounder imo
- Secondary is the best in the Conference
- Xavier Griffin will start from Day 1 at LB

He’s an offensive minded coach.

True.
I do believe that he does emphasize all 3 phases and playing “complimentary football” more than most offensive minded coaches. He’s certainly not a Lincoln-Riley type that essentially ignores defense and special teams.

For sure. That’s just the thing that worries me when the offense has been stagnant.
And when the oline was rough last year I kept thinking “but even Grubb was an oline coach once. We should be able to hit on Oline coach hires.”

My big concern on offense is that we’re purely a younger roster on offense but also you can sorta presage many of the older OL players are likely to be depth. And FCS center may be the only OL starter with more than 2 years of experience. In fact, that is sorta why I suspect that guy is a shoo-in to be the center as long as he isn’t a Williamson type (basketball reference) projection bust from lower level ball.
