TUSCALOOSA, Ala — At times it’s looked too easy for Ryan Williams. In his first three games, the freshman receiver leads Alabama with 10 receptions for 285 yards and four touchdowns. Not bad for a 17-year-old, who reclassified to enter college a year early.

It might seem effortless for Alabama’s new star attraction, who aptly goes by the nickname “Hollywood.” However, Williams admits his instant rise to fame at the next level involved a few eye-opening moments behind the scenes.

For example, there’s the time senior linebacker Justin Jefferson introduced him to the physicality of college football during Alabama’s fall camp last month.

“I had a shallow coming across, and I tried to like juke, and he just…” Williams recalled with a smile. “I felt it all over. He hit me so hard I felt it in my ribs. It just vibrated my entire body.”

All three players spoke to reporters after practice Friday.

Class?? Your up 30-0 against an inferior opponent in the first quarter and call for an on side kick.
The Viles being the Viles.

Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats will join Hey Coach tonight around 6:50. Live updates here.

FYI…I started watching Bama football in ‘78.

1. Auburn ‘89 - the first game at Jordan Hare. We came into the game undefeated, and after the miracle blocked FG against Penn St, this seemed like a team of destiny. Great Cinderella season, with Gary Hollingsworth replacing the injured Jeff Dunn at the beginning of the season, which everyone thought was the end of our season. Thought we were destined for a National Championship going into this game.

2. Penn St ‘86 - came into this game undefeated, and ranked #2, after starting the season ranked #5 and a big win over Ohio St. Thought this team was on a NC run, but we just played awful on that day.

3. Southern Miss ‘90 - coming off that exciting ‘89 season. I was prepared for another fun ride, but we lost in the first game of the season to a lessor team.

HM - USC ‘78.

I do have A LOT more good memories of W’s than L’s though.

"One thing I can say is we’re going to be very explosive on offense, and we have a lot of guys in that room that are very talented,” Milroe said. “And I truly believe that we have more talent this year than we did last year.”

The field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium serves as a testament to immortality.

The “Bear” once leaned against these goalposts, and his gravelly voice still echoes out of the speakers before Alabama home games each fall. This is where Terrence Cody preserved a perfect season and where Derrick Henry resurrected a dynasty that had previously been declared dead. Amari Cooper raced down the sideline, DeVonta Smith tightroped the back of the end zone, and Bryce Young performed magic acts with his escapability in the pocket.

Most notably, this is where Nick Saban coached.

Alabama has won 249 games inside Bryant-Denny Stadium since it opened in 1929. Saban owns 108 of those over his 17 seasons in charge of the Crimson Tide. During that span, he also racked up six national titles, nine SEC championships and a pair of undefeated seasons. He coached four Heisman Trophy winners and produced 133 NFL draft picks, including 47 first-rounders.

Those are the stats we use to define Saban’s greatness, but his immortal status in Crimson Tide lore is built on memories. As Alabama prepares to dedicate the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium to Saban this weekend, here’s a look back at a few of the legendary head coach’s best moments inside the hallowed ground.

Yes, Georgia had clunking W against Kentucky but it’s what they do. Regular season we have seen this movie. But when the lights are bright they bring the wood. Yes Alabama & Coach Saban were a pain in their ass. But the one they did win was the National Championship. Damn that 4th quarter they punished Alabama.

Now they are coming to Tuscaloosa. Fallen now #2 in the polls. Highly motivated to get their revenge for Alabama crushing their 3 peat dreams. Prove they can beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa, their Coach’s former home. And reestablish their Championship swagger.

Let me ask you which defense which would you rather have? Which offense? Which Special Teams & finally which Coaching staff?

Alabama must be mentally & physically prepared for this heavyweight fight September 28th.

They are adding a 10% “talent fee” to their ticket prices for their players.

The upcoming matchup between No. 4 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia will draw plenty of attention over the next two weeks. However, neither team has yet to shift their focus on preparing for the other as they both face open dates on their schedule this week.

During Wednesday’s SEC teleconference Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart were both asked how they are preparing their teams for next week’s top-five clash next week inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
