I was tempted to highlight Tua Tagovailoa again because, let’s face it, those plays are just fun to re-watch and break down. But I wanted to look elsewhere.
Alabama returned three starters from last year’s offensive line, but only left tackle Jonah Williams is playing the same position as he did in 2017. Ross Pierschbacher moved to center, and Lester Cotton flipped to left guard.
Right tackle Jedrick Wills and right guard Alex Leatherwood are the new faces, though both played last season, with Leatherwood stepping in for the injured Jonah Williams at left tackle in the national championship.
