Man I’d love to see bama lose. They’ve had this air of invincibility about them for years now. For Tennessee to get back on top...some of our rivals need to come back down closer to the pack.

I think we'll start see this with Bama next year.. they're losing a lot of playmakers, still obviously a ton of talent but not having Tua and the WR crew will bring them back to earth imo. Having a QB like Tua just put them on another level.

If LSU continues to win the west over Alabama, I don't expect Saban to stick around being second to Ed O.

That would be great for us. So long as bama doesn’t come after Pruitt. Lol. Even if they do, he’d be crazy to try to follow saban. History has shown that nobody will be able to appease the fan base after having won so much the past decade. You never want to follow a legend.

McElroy saying Tua will come back lol. Why would Tua come back and play another season with the guy who almost killed him Coach Kilmer

As they said, if he is unable to have a workout with scouts and as an earlier poster stated, he may be looked upon as more of a risk with his injuries. If he's not projected as first round, he returns and Alabama will be preseason top 3 again.

He's still top 10 every mock draft I've seen.. no way he slips past 1st round

Wouldn’t he better off though just sitting out the season than risk getting hurt again.

i think the difference with Bama has been the coaching. still talent all over the field. but this year their depth hasnt been coached up to the same level. used to be it didn't matter who was on the field, they knew what to do and played like starters. now not so much, they look like starters but dont play like it.

Michigan is stronger and faster today. And they look like they are the better-coached team in the 1st half. I am surprised at Bama's lack of push and looking a bit lost on defense.

Agree. They’ve just kinda had the perfect storm of recruits that have panned our, avoided major injuries, and main rivals that have been down over the past decade. And that’s not to take anything away from saban who’s obviously the hardest working coach we’ve ever seen. But they aren’t some divine program. We’ve had long win streaks against them in the past and that could certainly happen again

A lot of youth on defense as well.

injuries are a good point too. the last couple years they have kept mostly clean. but not this year especially with Tua.

I saw an article by media from different teams. They were discussing the things they would remember and care about most from the season. Every media member talked about a signature win or something else associated with their team. Bama’s talked about Tennessee losing to Georgia State. That tells you everything you need to know about how Bama folks feel about this season. They have nothing to look to as a real win this season and don’t see any kind of accomplishment with their team, they care more about what a currently lesser rival did than what their own team did.
