And you are proud of those 10, are you? I grant you Auburn has 11. But maybe you should get another one for poisoning their trees. How classy. And let’s not forget that Alabama came within a whisker of receiving the death penalty . . . was it in 2002? As a perennial powerhouse, Alabama should be setting the standard in every way. But history says otherwise. Major NCAA trouble and multi-year probations in 1993, 2002, 2012, and all those “minor infractions” reported in 2017, not to mention Alabama’s dubious distinction as the king of gray-shirting, all speak to an ongoing culture of corruption.
They might be even more dominant than the 1995 Nebraska team.
Tell me!
Here it is:
Wouldn't that equal three more national championships for Alabama?
Tua arrived at the Elite 11 Camp ranked #9. He left ranked as #1 and was MVP of the 2016 camp.
LOU W 51-14
ARKST W 57-7
@ MISS W 62-7
22 TA&M W 45-23
ULL W 56-14
@ ARK W 65-31
Your point in well taken. Bear in mind a lot of those points were with backups when Bama let off the gas. Bama has had fluff pretty much so far. I always hate when Bama does not play a full game until it counts. In all the games above the 3rd string QB saw action. Lots of 3rd and 4th Q clean shirts.
We'll see what happens at LSU. With old Bama style offense I might be more worried about MS St because that QB is slippery. However, we now have that high powered offense that can put up the points when the defense might struggle.
Love Tua!! I also liked Hurts taking some wildcat snaps. Didja ever think you'd hear Alabama and Wildcat? LOL. When Jalen Hurts (who WILL play on Sunday) is your backup, you have something special. They grow great QBs in Hawaii!
ROLL TIDE!
Y’all got to get past Clemson.
Actually nope. We will probably get Georgia - an easy win. Bama will nuke Clemson. And then us. Sigh.
Bama hasn’t gone full on. They haven’t had to. I truly believe they could beat many NFL teams. So could Ohio State, but not as many.
We can talk about the schedule but Nick Saban tries to schedule good competition every year.
It’s not like you can schedule on short notice. We opened last year vs FSU. When we scheduled them, they were just coming off winning a national championship season. Louisville was kicking around what many expected to be a good FSU team the last few years.
People thought Michigan was an up & coming team a few years ago when Alabama played them. They weren’t so good after that.
We’ve opened with Clemson, Wisconsin, and a lot of other teams that were expected to be good over the last few years.
UGA opened with Austin Peay State and they play a weak SEC east schedule.
Not many teams play the competition Bama does.
Alabama played its worse game of the year today against Missouri ans still dominated the game, winning by 29 points. The score was 39-10, with two beautiful touchdowns being nullified by Bama penalties. Missouri has a great offense but could only put up 10 points. It’ll be hard for any team in the country to beat them. Once again they scored quick, as in the first two minutes of the game,
