There is obviously an optimism around this team I haven’t felt in years. These players are coming back because they want to do something special.

It's also perfect timing for the facade of Alabama appearing nearly invincible to crumble. They have been so much in our heads that we play them completely tight. If our boys have a great season leading up to that game, it will be our best chance to play loose and up to our actual potential against them in years. I think that's been a big factor in the drought.
