I will probably get booed, disliked, argued with , etc. But I do not feel that good about this huge win. I think we out talented them more than out schemed them. Alabama has already had more talent than any team in the country for 5+ years. We still lost to Clemson. Until I see proof that we can beat an opponent by scheme rather than talent I will not feel great about a win. However I'm still happy that alabama football is back!

Well, sure, if the premise is that “scheme” is everything. It’s still a W.

I loved the fact that there were 2 true freshman in the middle of the defense and not once did we see the communication issues that seemed to happen at least once or twice every game last year.

......yes, this was noticeably different. D is still raw (of course) and gave up some run yardage early but we looked like we knew how to align and what our assignments were. There were times last year, even late, that we looked confused....

Observations; #8 is an excellent player. #24 looks like our best runner. Our receivers are trouble for any team. We can use #65 on the line. Tua looked great. Duke's QB was not a passing threat, so D wasn't challenged like it will be. Duke's line on both sides is underrated. Bama is very good, and will be difficult to beat. Offense is scary good, and scored 42 points with a lot of missed assignments up front. D will depend on staying healthy up front and the development of #35 or somebody in that position.

Roll Tide! The NCAA needs to reconsider and start giving points for hitting the uprights, our kickers are great at doing that.

I am pretty sure Saban would have gotten banned on Tidefans for his comments to the ref.

Will he SUSPEND himself for the 1st quarter of the next game? Isn't that as bad as being late to a player meeting?

Question: did a certain Linebacker get in the game. I THINK he wears #1. I looked and looked but did NOT see him.

JPW has greatly improved and Eli actually had a rough game. Anybody else catch the radio broadcast? Eli seemed really off.

I’m not sure if it is me over thinking it but this game just felt different. I loved seeing Saban lose it on the sideline, I loved the fact that there were 2 true freshman in the middle of the defense and not once did we see the communication issues that seemed to happen at least once or twice every game last year.

Even though there were 2 missed field goals, it didn’t feel the same, tough luck yes but the balls were struck well and traveled in the air like a kick.

It feels more like the Bama teams pre kiffin to me. I’m not trying to knock anything those teams accomplished I just prefer the earlier teams attitude and style more. Could be way off but I like the way this team carries itself through this very small sample size.

If you are overthinking then so am I.

He was upset because if Colt hadn't gotten hurt they would have put the game away much earlier.

I give the barn credit for one thing—at least they are playing somebody.
