Louisville came out talking, but it was the University of Alabama that was pure action throughout its season opener last week in a 51-14 route of the Cardinals in Orlando, Fla.
An explosion of big plays was provided from the Crimson Tide’s offense – headlined by sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa – and it seems like the program finally has a return specialist in freshman Jaylen Waddle to ignite the crowd and team at any given moment.
While its 52 points were good for second-most scored by a Nick Saban-coached group since the 2016 season (52 vs. USC), Alabama’s defense was not too shabby itself.
