3. Can the offense stay rolling without Tua?

From the start of Nick Saban’s tenure, Alabama has mostly gotten by on good but not great quarterback play from the likes of Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron and Jake Coker.

When the offense got Tua Tagvailoa, the whole offensive gameplan changed and the Crimson Tide’s offense was more powerful than Thanos with all of the infinity stones. Alabama has been so lethal having a quarterback with the ability to make the offense wide open, you have to wonder if it was just Tua or can the offense sustain this kind of success.

I think Alabama has enough pieces on offense to replicate last year’s offense that averaged 47 points per game.

With the return of Devonta Smith, Najee Harris, Jaylen Waddle and Alex Leatherwood, this offense has an abundance of talent, experience and production that most teams would be jealous of.

The big question that will be around this team the entire offseason: Who will start at quarterback for the Crimson Tide this fall?
