Alabama football needs special teams to step up in 2020.
In close games, every moment can have a major impact. Although Alabama football rarely finds themselves in nail-biting games, they will need special teams to win them in 2020. The bad news for the Crimson Tide is that they almost always struggle in this aspect.
Alabama hasn’t had an elite kicker for the entire Saban era. They settle for having a kicker who can nail extra points and can make at least most of their field goals. Their last great punter was JK Scott, and they haven’t had a good punter since.
