Alabama Crimson Tide

Another overly-hyped opponent, another dominant SEC football win for Alabama. While SEC football is experiencing a down year overall, Alabama looks as good as ever.

Jalen Hurts has provided Lane Tiffin with a playmaking quarterback and the defense/special teams of Alabama just keep scoring as well. While the Tide’s biggest tests still remain, their 8-0 start has been nothing short of impressive.

Whether or not Texas A&M was deserving of the hype, it was given. Alabama heard it too, and beating soundly beating such a hyped opponent will continue to build the confidence and swagger of this Alabama team.

Jalen Hurts will need his A-game the next time the Tide take the field, though, as the LSU Tigers are going to be ready to pounce on any mistake he or the Crimson Tide make.
