I think the Clemson game was an aberration.
At first I felt we were straight-up beat, with the ominous possibility that "the torch was passed" and Alabama was in decline. But I feel better about the loss, they had an easy schedule and spent the whole year preparing for us, we had indifferent coaching and especially playcalling/adjustments etc. I think we are in great shape heading into A-Day, with a dozen blue-chips still to get to campus. The only true area of concern is ILB, and we are shaping up to be great just about everywhere else.
No: I feel good, as good as last year, and that is taking into account the drubbing we got in the last game.
