NM said the return trip, his first since the spring, was a 'great' reconnection with Alabama. He was fascinated by the development overall, and of course at the wide receiver position. Florida still holds his commitment as other programs push, but this was a solid step for UA imo.

Alabama is No. 8 in the AP Poll, tied for No. 7 in coaches poll.

2. UConn

3. Gonzaga

4. Auburn

7/11 for only 29 yards. Jags getting beat 28-3. I was really hoping he could improve his stock with the starts. Not looking good for him

Alabama moved up in the College Football Playoff rankings, but the latest update might come with a ceiling for the Crimson Tide. While Alabama appears to control its destiny in terms of making the playoff, there’s some concern over how far it can climb from here without winning the SEC title.

I think Ty would be the first off the bench in a situation to “run the offense” but Mack is the Tua type guy you want if you wanna throw the ball. He’s the pocket QB you wants as a change of pace. Not saying he’s the golden boy, just he is more of a pocket passer and throws a better ball than Ty.
I expect Mack to win that job in spring if Milroe leaves.

That’s the goal each year. We have the most appearances,and wins in the SEC championship. We also have the most appearance,and wins in the playoff system. I want to play our way into the playoffs by beating Texas in the SEC championship.

Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack and Nick Sheridan will speak to reporters in a few minutes. Updates here.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — A week after Jalen Milroe practically carried Alabama’s offense during a blowout in Death Valley, the Crimson Tide provided a rare peek behind its quarterback curtain.


The stage was significantly smaller during Saturday’s win over FCS foe Mercer than it was during Alabama’s victory at LSU. Still, glimpses at the Tide’s future behind center come at a premium and should be appreciated when they arise.

Not for the win, but for getting so, so many back-ups and walk-ons into the game today. Great to see them get a chance to play in front of the fans and fellow students at BDS!

How to watch

Who: No. 2 Alabama (3-0) at No. 13 Purdue (3-0)

I'm at Mackey Arena tonight and will have updates all game long.

Win out and they're in. . . .

2025 RB Anthony Turbo Rogers decommitted from Alabama. He was the last player to commit under Saban.

Rogers has taken an official visit to Ohio State, and Georgia has also pursued him heavily. This decommitment was expected

What is the feeling on our potential flip of Edge Anthony Jones

1. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
2. Record versus all common Conference opponents among the tied teams
3. Record against highest (best) placed common Conference opponent in the Conference standings, and proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams
4. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams
5. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams
6. Random draw of the tied teams

I may be wrong, but assuming Ole Miss wins out, they are 1-0, Tennessee, Alabama would be 1-1 and depending on aTm-Texas winner UGA could be 2-1 or 1-1, so I would assume Ole Miss or UGA would be in Atlanta.

A 3 win team on their own field. Yeah, they’re good.

Oh well.

He was fired recently. I’ve seen some different people saying it was crazy he was fired. But he was at their walk today with the crowd. Pretty cool.

Who you got? I’d say Tennessee if it was at their place. I think Tennessee has a real chance bc of their defensive front. That’s odd to say but if they shut down Georgias run game and allow the secondary to just play coverage, it will be tough for Georgias offense. And Georgias OL hasn’t looked great and they were without their running back.

Who: Alabama 7-2 vs. Mercer 9-1
Where: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa Alabama (capacity 100,077)
When: 1 p.m. CT

I haven’t paid any attention to them after playing them. They are looking solid against Oregon right now. The more I watch the more I think if we play our A game, we are the best team.
Im sure Wisconsin finds a way to lose this game but they are up 13-6 going into the 4th.
