August 22, 20179 yr #5 is probably closer to being right. They aren't the second best team in the country. Who is #2? Also, is going from 2 to 5 really overrated, or are you saying they just aren't a playoff team?
August 22, 20179 yr Who is #2? Also, is going from 2 to 5 really overrated, or are you saying they just aren't a playoff team? Florida State. No way to know if they'll be a playoff team. But they'll get the benefit of the doubt if they are close.
August 22, 20179 yr Florida State. No way to know if they'll be a playoff team. But they'll get the benefit of the doubt if they are close. Guess we will find out soon if FSU is #2 or better.
August 22, 20179 yr 10 wins is exactly what I think Bama has this year. I just think this is the year they don't get it done. I'm not sold on Hurts, I'm not sold on their running backs, I'm not sold on them replacing their front 7. To start the year off #1 seems kind of high. Hurts was a true freshman and played on the highest profiled team in the country every week. He lost one game as a starter....c'mon mane. He needs to improve his passing down field sure enough, but I think he will get it done. 12-1 maybe 11-2 SEC Champs

We will have to see if they solve it this year.
August 22, 20179 yr Author Hurts was a true freshman and played on the highest profiled team in the country every week. He lost one game as a starter....c'mon mane. He needs to improve his passing down field sure enough, but I think he will get it done. 12-1 maybe 11-2 SEC Champs 1) If you watched Hurts play last year the only thing he did well as far as passing goes was throwing the ball downfield. He hit the deep post 2-3 times a game. It's the intermediate and short passing game where he really struggled. 2) I didn't think he was the best QB last year and I don't think he is this year either. I liked Barnett better last year and Tagovailoa better this year. 3) I don't think he was ever really challenged all year until the playoff and he kind of underwhelmed. He gets challenged Week 1 this year so let's see how he does. I will say this, is they run him like they did last year he won't last the whole season.
August 22, 20179 yr Author Bama is still trying to figure out the letting a WR/RB play QB. We will have to see if they solve it this year. Now if they moved Hurts to H Back and let Tua play QB that's a deadly combo.

August 22, 20179 yr Now if they moved Hurts to H Back and let Tua play QB that's a deadly combo. Are you serious with this statement? The kid is a QB. He led his team within 1 second of winning the natl championship. And you suggest that they move him to HB. He does need to work on his passing downfield but there's a lot of qb's in college football that need passing. Would you say Penn State needs a change at QB?

Penn State doesn't have someone better behind their QB.
August 22, 20179 yr Penn State doesn't have someone better behind their QB. Again....agree to disagree. if Hurts plays bad I'm sure Saban would bench him, and I won't have a problem with it. BTW that great passer Barnett that Hurts beat out may not be starting at that juggernaut Arizona State.

August 23, 20179 yr Penn State doesn't have someone better behind their QB. How many Alabama practices have you attended this year?
August 23, 20179 yr Who am to question Nick Saban? This is just my opinion. Ok...now I understand, you're a Buckeye. This explains it all
