While fans are eager to see him debut, the coaching staff may prioritize caution — especially with depth at RB and a potent passing game led by mobile QB Keelon Russell. Even without Crowell, Alabama’s ranked 13th and loaded offense should still dominate, making this a smart gamble to protect their star for the season ahead.
