No solid reason 2020 does not end with an Alabama football National Championship.
For Alabama football fans most of 2019 and 2020 have not been right. Optimism is the best default perspective, but sometimes harsh realities intrude.
A 28-point drubbing in the 2018 National Championship game was a foreboding jolt. Crimson Tide worries were not much soothed by an 8-0 start to the 2019 season. Some Crimson Tide fans were not blinded by the series of No. 2 or No. 1 rankings. Defensive weaknesses were evident. Injuries had diminished the offense, defense and special teams.
