2018 Alabama vs. Louisville

Alabama vs Louisville 2018In this episode Dave from the Alabama Football Podcast breakdowns the Tide’s outstanding performance against the mouthy Louisville Cardinals Starting Quarterback IdentifiedAfter all the breathless hype, the answer was as obvious Saturday night as it was seven months ago and it’s the same answer Saban provided when he specified that the Tide needed someone who could distribute the ball.Viva JalenAs fans this is a drama that plays out, mostly, on our TVs. But the reality is that these story lines involve real people who are as flawed as any of us. Both players want to start but one is clearly better. Saban appreciates, respects, and wants to protect both players so he pops off to the media. Welcome to humans doing human things. But that’s what makes the next chapter even more tantalizing than the last. Face it, we kinda knew how the starter story line would shake out but no one knows how the balance of Jalen’s career will play out and what foibles will be exposed in the process. But tune is as we speculate.Receivers on ParadeThe Tide’s arsenal at the receiver position was as potent as expected with even more promise in the wings.Defense Better than AdvertisedWe knew the Tide defense was young, talented, and prone to giving up plays – at least early in the season. While those labels played out, check out the discussion as to why the defense out performed our expectations.Defense Improvement PotentialScary as it may be, the room for improvement among the defense is real. Pundits and opponents should take note.Special TeamsKicking… eh, jury is still out. Return game, thank you Coach Banks!Mini Game ballsAnyone can read a headline, but which players contributed in more subtle ways to the Tide’s fortune?Next UpAlabama’s home opener features a visit from Red Hawks of Arkansas State.
