Early predictions for Alabama QB battle: Will Keelon Russell win the job?
Alabama football will have a quarterback battle for 2025 between Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell.

I see it as Simpson, Russell, then Mack.
If DeBoer plays it smart we should see a lot of Russell.
We could see him in a role similar to that used for Manning by TX.

Former Alabama standout and NFL defensive tackle arrested for domestic violence in Hoover
He turned himself in at the Jefferson County Jail on charges of second-degree domestic and third-degree domestic violence/harassment, jail records show.

My favorite memory of Dareus was running over 'COLT' McCoy and putting him out of the game. Doomed Texas's chance to win.

THIS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WILL NOT MAKE MY HIGHLIGHTS FOR HIS ACHIEVMENTS.

apparently their S&S methods didn't deliver a win against us.

Buh-bye!!!

I read that with the same confusion. Like bro, you just want to be handed the spot? Do you have no desire to get better? I can't even imagine what Saban would have said to the young man.

However this quote did stand-out to me

“(It’s) very impressive, especially compared to Bama,” Okoronkwo said. “What they are doing there, I really like because it’s way more related to the game. Like what drills they do and what lifts they do. That really stood out to me.”

I don't like hearing that a player finds some of the drills our groups are running aren't relative or helpful for the games. I think we can all watch the film from this season and find that there's probably a lot of truth in that statement. That's alarming to me.
