Jumbo Package: Could Alabama's backups beat an average FBS team?

Survey says, "yes."

The since-deleted Tweet garnered a lot of reaction as earlier this spring it was revealed that Wilson would be undergoing shoulder surgery for a torn labrum, a surgery that was expected to sideline the Montgomery (Ala.)
