Lost in the disappointment in Tampa, is that Alabama was working on breaking the school-record win streak of 28 games, set by Bryant’s last dynasty in ‘78-’80. The Tide would be looking to tie that mark tomorrow.
However, we are at one — Looking to begin a one-game winning streak as Alabama erases a one-game losing streak.
It’s a fresh start: for this young team, for this new coaching staff, for this new offense, which now only boasts two original members from Nick Saban’s first Tide staffs: Burton Burns and Scott Cochran. And, as with every other Saban team, those two men will again form the strength of the Tide: Toughness.
