Too many questions with the biggest being the 2 new coordinators on this team. No way defense will be worse than last year so I suppose that's a plus.

It seems every year someone you didn't count on jumps out shines. When you have as many 4 and 5 star recruits as LSU, it's bound to happen ??

We definitely need a second receiver besides Boutte.

Brennan and Johnson forced the ball to him a lot in the spring game.

He’s a beast but we need some secondary targets. But I like The freshmen and I will Always home Palmer gets a shot.

Talent is there. Seems like these new coaches are the real deal. Heck, the spring game showed a much better defense than last year.

If these guys work hard in the weight room and in the film room, they will surprise many.

We ridin!

Agreed, this is very likely.

Who knows with a new coach regardless. Certainly more difficult with no real history to gauge from.

Deion Smith is intriguing to me as far as the freshmen wr’s go. Listed as 6’3 203#

Long strider and looks like a gazelle…doesn’t look like he’s moving fast, but defenders seem to lose ground when chasing him.

Sr. Highlights

Jr. Highlights

In June of 2019 did anyone expect CEH to play himself into the 1st round?

I think the skill positions are definitely good enough but like every team going into every season offensive production depends on OL play and while I'm hopeful it's far from a sure thing.

I think this is the question, along with can our lbs step up and stop the run. We are going to need a little luck, that a freshman WRs step up and play great and someone has a break out year at RB if we want to compete for a championship.

Boo, my take is that the Tigers will be much improved over last year due to the defense being much better. Unfortunately, bama has enough talent to just reload, so there won’t be much if any drop off in their performance.

That said, bama is a very enjoyable road trip. The fans are extraordinarily nice Tuscaloosa is a very small town, so there are not a lot of places to stay (I usually stay in Birmingham or Meridian.

Bottom line is, if you want to enjoy their campus and have a nice day of SEC football, I would recommend it. If your weekend will be just ruined should we lose, I would try another game.

It’s wild that he didn’t that much time with the 1.

I also Want to see Palmer, Lee was supposed to be getting talked up, and then all the freshmen.

I truly feel that beating Bama begins up front. Pass protection, running when needed, pass rush, and holding opposition 3rd down conversions to a minimum. Do that, and yes, we have the skill players to win.

We got them 2 seasons ago, in case you missed it.

Also, go to Tuscaloosa regardless, it’s a great time!
The bars are fun, the chicks are hot and for the most part we’re well accepted.

Who was HC when Brady was hired?
You sky screamers never gave Ensminger any credit so it had to be Orgeron.
Who hired Peetz?

Does Saban or Sarkesian get credit for Alabama's offense?

Davis and Emery are more than capable, they need to nut up.
