Oh poor Joe. I'm not here to be an a-hole fan, but what in the world has happened? I know Saban left. I've heard you speak of "they win. Good teams figure out ways to win." But. . . After a loss to Vandy and now squeaked by SC? Was that South Carolina as in The Gamecocks? Bama needs to keep doing work..
Texas and Oklahoma have a good first quarter battle going on. Missed FG by OK. Made field goal by OK. Texas yet to make a first down. Not what I expected.
Saban left and the top half of the roster hit the transfer portal that same day thanks to the removal of the one season sit-out penalty. 2024 Crimson Tide saw 40 outbound transfer portal transfers. It's Bama in name, but it's really third string Bama and without the Goat. Like I said last weekend. It's like someone bragging they beat up Superman, but failing to mention is was really just Christopher reeves post horse accident as a parapalegic in a wheelchair.
At the end of the day its exactly what the NCAA and CFP has wanted for a decade, restrictor plate racing, football style.
Here's some of the outbound. Lost of very very key and well developed players in that list.
