Everybody knows Alabama has the ability to be super-explosive,” Tebow said. “They have the ability with Jalen (Milroe’s) legs and arm and so many ways they can be explosive. That’s one of their strengths. But what they need to improve on to be one of the best teams in the country and to win a championship, in my opinion, at the end of the year is — can you get first downs when you have to, not just can you get explosive plays?
“But there’s so many times they had last week to put the game away if you have a better four-minute offense, meaning if you can control the time of possession, keep your defense off of the field and take away some clock, they had so many chances to do it. It’s not just, can you have a 60-yard run and explode for a touchdown? Can you have a six-yard run and be 2nd and 4. if Alabama can do that, then this team definitely goes to No. 1 (championship contender) because they have so much ability to make the big play. Can they make the consistent play and can they move the sticks when they have to?”
