The top team in the land is still armed with a brawny, relentless defense.
But it now has a flashy offense that has the ability to shock and awe.
No. 1 Alabama looked like a dominant force in its 51-14 victory over Louisville on Saturday at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
The Crimson Tide produced touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams.
Tua Tagovailoa, who started at quarterback for Alabama, turned in a scintillating performance as he completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 227 yards and two touchdowns while also scoring on a nine-yard run.
