Freshman Appreciation

Everyone is giving praise tonight. Without Yel and Coop, we are sitting at home tonight watching someone else play. They are really grown, stand up guys. If we can't recruit them, who can?! That 45 bomb to Coop, all I saw was someone coming from under Julio's shadow. Yel the first freshman to hit 1000 yards rushing? You can't get any better than that! CHAMPS!

It is good that we have some young skill position players because we may be lacking in the trenches a little bit next year. We shall see if we have some guys ready to step into larger roles on both offensive and defensive lines.

There's an old football axiom that says that you'll lose about 1 game for every freshman you have in your starting lineup. Must not be talking about Alabama, eh? : )

Seriously, though, this is a very young Alabama team. For them to be where they are is nothing short of amazing. The future is very bright at The Capstone. Loving every minute of it.

There must be a thousand high school recruits thinking...
'I might have a chance to play early at Alabama'.

It's self evident that Coach Saban plays the best players... even Freshmen.

I just hope there is a hotshot linebacker thinking... I could be their pass rusher.

So much for all that, "gotta wait a few years to find out how this recruiting class turns out" stuff.
LOL, we got guys coming in right after high school that are playing like big dogs the first year.

Yeldon and Cooper compare favorably to Ingram and Jones. They may eclipse what those two great players accomplished when all is said and done. Now if we can find another Barret Jones!

Wouldn't it be great if Barrets' younger brother that plays LBer could come in and be a Barret Jones of the defensive side of the ball?
