Jayded 666 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I will be curious to see Texas fan reactions after all of the pitchforks for Herman lately when they realize they hired a guy who went 34-29 at Washington and 12-6 at SC. Woof, don’t like it at all and not at the $$$ it cost them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Particularly since Clemson isn't in it. I don't think either Bama or OSU is particularly impressive in the secondary. 🤷🏼♂️ Surtain is one of the best corners in the game. The secondary isn't the strength for Alabama, but it's still pretty good. Opposing passing stats are a bit misleading when they usually have a large lead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you have to consider the high level of QB play. Not sure of the ND QB but Trevor Laurence is likely the top pick of the NFL draft. I have to give credit to Fields.

The Bama issues are led by the DL...I think the lines on both sides will be the key matchup, as the OSU DL and Bama OL are both strengths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
