I predict that we win, and we lose. At the same time.

With the April portal no longer in existence, there may be a chance of something that resembles a game.

I don’t care who it is as long as they’re good and can get the job done.

Predictions:

5 rushing yards.
Missed field goal
4 TFL allowed
QB fumble
Like basketball - no defense

But Bama still wins.

I think it's crucial we return to having a real game at A-Day. The teams today have a 30% turnover or more every season and they need every opportunity they can to play together. I do think the game changes when fans are there and it's a simulated game. We didn't do it last year due to the fall portal but to my understanding there is no reason to fear that at this point and as for hiding talent? not going to happen. Everybody knows what everybody's got.

OL. OL OL and then DL that’s all I care about. If those two look good the rest will work itself out.

Nobody has the depth to do a lot of good on good anymore nor is there much motivation in letting tape get out on your depth.

They should cancel these things and just do a bigger fan day or something instead.

Help me understand the “no defense” perspective. I do not understand it. The defense allowed just 296ypg while playing a 15 game schedule vs 8 ranked opponents including UGA twice and OU twice plus 16-0 National Champs Indiana.

The only team to surrender fewer yards in the SEC was OU. That’s the fewest yards allowed since 2019 by a Bama defense.

Last year, they finished #9 in scoring defense nationally. The defense carried this team to a 7-1 SEC record and a trip to Atlanta. I don’t know what people expect. Last year was the fewest points allowed per game (17.9) by Bama since the 2017 defense.

Also, look how deficient the talent level was beginning in 2024. They replaced the entire Secondary. Is all of this based solely off the Indiana game?

What about forcing the 4th most turnovers in the country while allowing 17.9ppg in 2024 with only ONE NFL Draft pick in the first 4 rounds? Then proceeded to finish 2nd in the conference in total defense in 2025???

Bama has lost exactly TWICE under CKD when the offense produced 21 points:
Vandy 40-35 i(2024)
OU 23-21 (2015)

Bama has allowed 30 points just 4 times in the 27 games in CKD’s tenure so far. That is while playing the cumulative #4 SOS during that time frame. For context, from 2020-2021, Bama allowed 40 points 5 times.

I don’t know what people expect. If I had known Bama would finish #9 in the country in scoring defense while forcing the 4th most turnovers in 2024, then surrender the second fewest yards in the SEC in 2025, then I would’ve
been ecstatic.
Especially considering the weakest roster Bama has had since 2007 that was in need of a total rebuild. Also while transitioning to a brand new scheme while being under an offensive-minded HC.


Bama’s defense has surrender fewer points and (slightly) less yards than Georgia (plus 7 more takeaways) over the past two seasons. How come Georgia’s defense is viewed as dominant yet Bama’s is perceived so poorly by their own fanbase despite out-performing them (and also beating them 2 out of 3 times they have played).

This coming season will be the best group CKW has fielded.. They need to finish top 10 in both scoring defense
and total defense in the same season (top 5 in takeaways again would be nice too), to get the respect t they deserve from fans imo. .I think they will do it.

I dont want to speak for that poster, but I took that as a shot at last year's A day format, which clearly favored the offense.

The final score was closer, but the offense jumped out a huge lead, which is easy to do when the defense is so limited in how it can score.

Wasn't last year a practice format, not even a scrimmage to keep score?

I want to see agression and physicality.

I want Alabama football to look like Alabama football.
