Some questions for Alabama football will not be answered until December. A big one is will any schedule weakness, real or perceived, mean the Crimson Tide must win the SEC Championship to receive another CFB Playoff slot.
Another question which may never be answered is how much the Tide’s performance will be diminished by a very young and less experienced roster. It can be argued that at some point in the season 2019 game experience will minimize, perhaps even overcome the Tide’s youth. Still, more than half the 2019 roster is made up of first and second year players.
