I admit it, I am scared of Keelon Russell.

He kind of plays like prime Russell Wilson but he is like four-five inches taller. Guy is going to be a serious problem.

He has the most potential of any QB they have had the last two decades.

No doubt, he could be a problem.

We will worry about him when the time comes. He doesnt make many dumb mistakes for a young player.

Dude's a baller. Bama's staff also found a hidden gem in freshman RB Trae'shawn Brown. 3* and overshadowed by Crowell in this past class. But, he's gonna make a name for himself there.

Honestly I think Bama will be a tougher game than Texas. LSU will have to match points in a higher scoring game vs Bama, where I see Texas as a defensive battle. It would be much easier for the Bama game to get away from LSU.

You should be. He's going to be very good.

Call me crazy, but I think MSU and Bama will both be tougher than UTx.

I don’t have many doubts regarding our ability to stop the run nor scrounge together points against a stingy defense.

With spears and weeks out for the season, I am way more concerned about mobile QBs who can sling it.

MSU, Bama, and Ole Miss have the best in the league right now, in that regard.

11 men on the field though, and it’s still early enough we don’t truly know any of these teams. I have high expectations for State vs Bama this weekend.

We'll see how he does going on the road again.

He had 1 TD and 2 INT with a QBR of 44 vs Kentucky.

This is always the case with them. Even when we win, we barely win. I do believe we get it done this year but it’s gonna be a knock down drag out.

He also had a fumble and 1 of those picks was a Pick 6.

That said, it was the tale of two halves. Shaky start and solid, efficient finish for like 70% overall completion rate.. Could have been worse in his first SEC road game.

He needs to start fast and try and get some cow bells silenced early for sure.

I expect a sloppy game with the noise, environment, early kick, and the team isn't traveling until they morning of. Hopefully, he keeps building on 2nd half of UK and the USCe game. Should be a good game in any case.

He made some bad RPO choices early in that game.

But seemed to settle down in the 2nd half.

At the end of the day he's still a RS Freshman with 4 games under his belt. Teams will adjust to try and take away things from him, and he's going to need to adjust to that just like every other QB.

We'll see, he's got the tools to be great.

Not saying he isn't a good QB or won't develop into an elite one.

For all of the shite Leavitt took after his first SEC road game at Ole Miss, his QBR was over 86.

It's hard to play on the road in the SEC.

I guess his trip to Starkville last year doesn't really count...

That's a hell of an endorsement when you consider that the last 6 Alabama QBs have been drafted within the first 92 spots:

Ty Simpson - 1st round, #13 overall
Jalen Milroe - 3rd round, #92 overall
Bryce Young - 1st round, #1 overall
Mac Jones - 1st round, #15 overall
Tua Tagovailoa - 1st round, #5 overall
Jalen Hurts- 2nd round, #53 overall

Bold - current NFL starters
Italics - has started multiple NFL seasons
