One trend from Kalen DeBoer’s first year can not continue if the Crimson Tide want to continue to be the standard of excellence in college football.
The trend was a glaring one. Alabama simply lost three games it was “supposed to win.” This is where Nick Saban excelled, very rarely losing quote-on-quote trap games.
On the other hand, Alabama football won the games where it had the attention of the college football world in 2024. The Georgia and Alabama game was considered by some to be the game of the year, and it was highly anticipated. It lived up to the hype with the Crimson Tide jumping out, and the Bulldogs storming back.
