Fifty-nine Alabama Football players participated in the season-opener against the Miami Hurricanes. Although one game can offer only a clue, rather than a trend, a close look at who played, who didn’t, and the distribution of snaps, provides some interesting insights.
Eight freshmen from the 2021 signing class saw game action against Miami. Only two of them got double-digit snaps, with 18 going to JoJo Earle and 10 to Ja’Corey Brooks. The others were Dallas Turner (9 snaps), Agiye Hall (7), J.C. Latham and Kool-Aid McKinstry (4 each), Deontae Lawson (3) and Kendrick Blackshire with one snap.
