One game into the Alabama football season, the Tide is healthy. Ten guys need to stay that way for Championship hopes.

For Alabama football, it is one down and nine to go to determine if Championship hopes lead to 11, 12 or 13 games. Injuries derailed the Alabama football team last season. An extended preseason and an opening game leave Nick Saban’s team in nearly complete health. The only serious injury to Ronald Williams’ arm will cause him to miss several games.

Otherwise, there are nicks and bruises, but nothing serious.
