Do I expect the canes to win no I don’t. But let’s rattle off some of the recent squads that have beaten bama in regular season (not many)
johnny football and Texas a&m
Auburn x amount of times
LSU during natty run
Mississippi state with Dak
am I missing anyone? Out of that list I would take our roster over every single one of those teams minus LSU. The spread is this large due to Miami not showing up to big games and manny Diaz being a mediocre head coach (right now). We have a chance to shock the world and at the very least shut the narrative up that we cant compete in big time games.

That's what I noticed too, but while Burrow wasn't a "dual threat" the guy had some decent scrambling ability to extend plays. If King can improve on his down-field accuracy (and get rid of the WR drops), he could really make a difference.johnny football and Texas a&m - DUAL THREAT QB
Auburn x amount of times - DUAL THREAT QBs
LSU during natty run - PRO STYLE QB
Mississippi state with Dak - DUAL THREAT QB
****. For some reason I thought Mullen beat Saban during that tenure. My mistakeNever Happened.
They came into Tuscaloosa undefeated and ranked number 1 in the country in 2014. They just didn't leave that way.****. For some reason I thought Mullen beat Saban during that tenure. My mistake
and those alabama teams weren't starting a qb for the first time ever on opening weekend, they all had established qb'sDidnt Ole Miss beat them a few times too? And yes I agree, minus LSU roster, everyone else was not much better than ours. We should hang in this one until the end.
Lol the old what’s heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of leadThe size comparisons are fun but they mean jack ****.
Don't let the size similarities confuse you.
Our 6'4" 290lb players ain't like THEIR 6'4" 290lb players.

This. I've always had the same thought.I appreciate the work but I don't understand why people insist on comparing the same position groups.
Our OL isn't gonna block Bama's OL.
I want to see the comparison of our OL size/experience vs their DL size/experience. That's the comparison that matters.

What gets lost in all this depth chart stuff is how quickly things evolve once the season kicks off. These freshmen coming in are as elite as we've had at the Capstone. In 2017 in the 4th quarter and on the last play of the game against Georgia in OT, Bama had 6 true freshmen on the field on offense. Including Tua to DeVonta on the 2nd 26. Coach Saban is going to put these very young guys out there early and often.
You have to consider their DEs as DTs as well, they are really there to eat blockers and stone wall the point of attackThe size that Bama has at DE is scary!
I think a QB who can throw is more important to beating them than dual threat. If King cannot get time to throw and is not accurate with atleast say 65% of his passes the running won't matter much. I don't care how many 5 stars Bama has, we can attack their secondary. But its predicated on us giving King time and King being accurate. When you back up the DBs with the threat of them getting beat then he will have room to run, if not...its Clemson all overjohnny football and Texas a&m - DUAL THREAT QB
