re: Predict Alabama's 2021 Football Record (game by game) and Bowl Game

OP is an idiot.

We're winning every game on the schedule.

We won't face a real challenge until the playoffs. we easily have the most talented team in the country entering 2021.

The real question is who will the other 3 teams be in the playoffs.

Probably Clemson, Oklahoma, and OSU...as usual

My predictions include Slate Bolten starting in the slot, though

It's SlaDe BolDen you rube, and he's about to be buried on the depth chart after all of the 4.4 WRs show up in the fall.

You'll be seething while Agiye Hall and Jameson Williams are dunking on people, and your boy Slate is warming the bench lmao

SummerOfGeorge is clearly a troll. How could anyone honestly think Alabama will lose two regular season games in 2021?

Gotta hand it to him for playing the role of a devoted Alabama fan all of these years, just so he could post this epic troll thread

Saban assistants are 0 - eleventy billion against him, and we are supposed to lose to two of them, I don’t see it

I don't think Slade is a liability to the team as a starter. He was playing hurt Since November against Kentucky and wasn't 100 percent all the way to playoff. I think he'll be more effective this fall.
This is what I'm thinking:
X- Baker, Holden
z- Metchie, Williams
H-Bolden, Jones-Bell

If he does well, I expect Jameson Williams to in X or Z spot. Metchie will take other.
I think the 4th receiver spot will be open for compeition.

Bottom Line: Bolden isn't going anywhere. He's a slot receiver.

The games I think will be tough: Ole Miss, TAMU and LSU.

I see 1 loss on schedule, and I think it's going to be Ole Miss or TAMU.

It's not based on Slade, it's more of Young's growth throughout the season.

We saw Tua struggling late into the season as teams adjusted and so did Hurts in their first season
starting as QB.

So you don't think any of the 4/5 star freshman WRs, including 6'3" guaranteed first round lock, Agiye Hall, will crack the 7-deep at WR.
Interesting take lol

I think Hall shined in spring camp, but I want to wait and see what happens in the fall camp. Lot of time we've had receivers who did well in spring camp only to fade away in the fall camp. So I'm basing the depth chart on what I think could happen. I do think Hall will be on 2 deep chart, not necessary starting but seeing playing time.

I agree with Clover (heading to the doctor now), at least 1 of the freshman is going to get major minutes - probably 2-3 of them.

The sophomore class has as much to prove as the new freshmen do, IMHO. They didn't prove much last year and there were lots of opportunities to do so.

Wow we agree

The stretch of Ole Miss, at A&M and at Miss. State is the part that worries me. LSU will be improved but it's at home, which is a positive (unless they somehow turn into the 2019 version and we're decimated with injuries like 2019). For some reason, Miami and Florida don't concern me. Hopefully that doesn't work against us. Playing at Auburn is a challenge and always will be. Who knows what they'll look like ? We know that their boosters will do anything and everything to win in Jordan Hare. As for the offense, the key will be the offensive line coming together and being able to run the ball at anytime necessary. That's what made the 2020 and 2012 offenses so good. You can have the best skill position players ever but if the big uglies don't do their part it means nothing. Alabama is loaded with talent at wide receiver, running back and has two very good tight ends. The return of Kendall Randolph can't be understated, either.

Bryce Young will prove to be a great player. He can even cover a bit if the OL is not all that Bama wants.
The D could be special with Anderson and T. Smith wreaking destruction. Allen and Ray (oh please) joining in. Braswell, Turner, Koht, Payne, et al. - it's dreamy.
Hopefully, BR will not be a bottleneck holding Roydell and Jace back. Both could be special.
Hopefully, Jojo will be ready to relieve Slade of most of his slot duties.

OL development and injuries will be key - what else is new? Has another program ever said that?
