Last week, Alabama football proved that they are the best team in the country at this moment. They improved on defense, and Bryce Young looked just like a Heisman-winning quarterback. This was at a neutral site against a ranked opponent, but the Tide still aced their test.
This week, Alabama will face different circumstances. They will be playing at home against Mercer, an FCS team. This will be the first time Alabama has seen a fully-packed stadium since late in 2019. They’ll play against a unique offense that won’t be seen again this year.
You can always learn something from a game, but this week won’t prove whether or not Alabama football deserves to win a national championship.
