We have made it through three weeks of Alabama’s season, and some elements of winning football are starting to grow for this team.
The offensive line, however, continues to be an issue. Crimson Tide fans remember the dominance of groups in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2020. Alabama’s 2020 offensive front captured the Joe Moore Award as the best unit in college football. They produced three Heisman finalists, a Heisman Trophy winner (DeVonta Smith), and an undefeated national championship. Coach Nick Saban hired Eric Wolford in the spring to replace Doug Marrone as offensive line coach, and he was the right move for the job.
