Good
- Bryce Young - obviously. The kid came out and answered all of the questions about him. He’s poised and cool as a cucumber. He has the same poise and calmness of Jalen Hurts. I was at the game, and he just had a presence on the field - like a seasoned veteran. I was more nervous than he was.

- Jameson Williams. That kid is a straight-up baller. OSU is stupid for letting him get away. Likely first rounder

- Josh Jobe. That man is a lockdown corner.

- Reichard. How about that 51 yarder! He’s the best kicker we’ve had under Saban - a legit weapon.

- Trey Sanders. What a great story. He looks like the best back on the team, although it seems like he’s on a snap count. I hope he moves up the depth chart, because he could make a big difference for us this year.

- B OBrien. That offense looked smooth. Great playcalling in his debut. Ofc we’ll find out more as the season wears on.

- Will Anderson. He’s improved a lot. What a monster he is on the dline. He is unblockable

Bad
- The fans. I was at the game and the stadium was only 70% full at best for the college kickoff game in Atlanta. Whine all you want about neutral site games but Atlanta is practically a home game. Fans have just gotten lazy - period. The fans at the game were quiet. I don’t remember them making noise for the Miami offense one time. Overall just disappointed that Alabama fans didn’t pack the house for the season opener vs Miami. I hope that’s not a sign of what our home games will be like.

- Miami fans were obnoxious and trashy. They had a lot of confidence going into the game. Glad we beat the hell out of them

Ugly
- The Holden drop. That was a momentum shifter in the game (Although it didn’t matter much). Up until that, our offense looked unstoppable. Idk how you have a drop machine like Holden in the game with a stud like Agiye Hall on the bench. That needs to change. Hall had his helmet on the whole game and looked dejected on the sideline. I saw Waddle come up to him and try to cheer him up.

- Chris Allen’s injury. What a terrible loss. He was perhaps our best pass rusher. However I thought Drew Sanders looked great out there for his first game. He was in on every tackle, he made a really key, smart play on the goalline stand. He’s not nearly the pass rusher as of yet, but he’s better in coverage, and has a nose for the ball.

- Kick returners. Billingsley and Bolden? Really? I mean i think Saban just wanted sure-handed fielders out there, but would it really hurt to put some real return threats out there?

- Punting. Our punting curse continues. Hopefully the Australian kid can figure it out. Perine is embarrassingly bad. Watching him punt in warmups is an ugly sight
