Author: Mansi


The College football season of 2020 is underway but this time with a very different and unlike situation. This season was earlier scheduled in the February-March month but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed up to further notice. 

Now, as the season has begun but there won’t be any fan allowed to enter the stadium as a safety concern for the pandemic. That may result in no advantage for home games to any side. As the season is progressing, guesswork for every expert has begun, and they are using their tricks, and suggestions to predict the winner. 

Some people are talking about overrated teams whereas others are talking about underrated teams. But what the common thing in between this is, thrill & enthusiasm among the players to win the tournament. 

In this article, you will have a slight idea about the team preview for the Alabama Crimson Tide, and their chances of winning the tournament. This team will be pretty eager to win their sixth title under the coaching of Nick Saban. According to some experts, Alabama Crimson Tides are expected to win this season. 

Team preview for Alabama-

Nick Saban`s team will be playing this season with some handy and trusty players on their side. While coming into this tournament they will be considered as an average team so the pressure of performing well or registering some unexpected wins will not bother Alabama this season. 

Team management must be happy with the coaching of Nick Saban, since he took over the coaching in 2007 this team is performing phenomenally. One interesting fact about the Alabama Crimson Tide is that they have never lost an opening game since 2010 under the coaching of Nick. 

Alabama Crimson Tides will be happy with the comeback of some star players in their squads as this will stabilize their team. DeVonta Smith is back to serve this team with his abilities to turn matches in their favor.  Apart from Smith they have firepower in the form of Alex Leatherwood, Patrick Surtain II, Dylan Moses, and Najee Harris. 

With the likes of these players who are playing some magnificent roles in the middle, one can expect that the Alabama Crimson Tides will be expected to win the season.

Mac Jones will be their key starting quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide. With enough experience in his hands and ability to pass and rush the ball from the opponent's home makes him a valuable player. If Mac finds a perfect posture and gets going, then it will be very difficult for opponents to beat this side. 

Apart from Mac Jones, Bryce Young can be a real punt in this season for the Alabama Crimson Tides. Looking at the starting line-up of this team anyone can scratch their heads with the likes of many star players in a single team. 

The rushing section will be led by Najee Harris. This senior superstar is returning to the team and this will indeed boost their chance of finishing the season on a winning note.

We all are familiar with the fact that Alabama Crimson Tides have the best passing attack but what they improved in the last season is their ground attack. All the courtesy to Najee Harris as they finished the season with their best record on the offensive side. 

Apart from this Alabama Crimson Tides had the best defense in the previous season and all the credit goes to their mastermind, Nick Saban. His tactics have always worked in favor of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The only thing that Nick Saban and his boys will be worried about is their passing section this season. They have covered all the sections & departments quite prominently by trading some good players but what they are lagging is some experience in their passing unit. 

The Alabama Crimson Tides might miss the service of their former star players Henry Ruggs and Jerry Jeude in this season. What Nick Saban will be thinking of is avoiding the mistakes that his team did in the last season and play some good games, and perform pretty well in this season. 

Final Words

This season will indeed test the fitness of all the players because of the rest they have got regarding lockdown, and that’s the reason it will be interesting to see whether all the players manage themselves to get a pass in this test or some of them fall short.
