Two things stand out about the upcoming Alabama football season. First, now is time for the Crimson Tide to rebound from a dip in elite status that began with the National Championship game loss to Clemson. There is no dishonor in losing a title game. Losing by four touchdowns is unacceptable. The injury-defined 2019 season offered no healing from the failure against Clemson.
Climbing back to the top of the mountain must be achieved in the 2020 season via the toughest Alabama football schedule in recent years. Most Alabama football, regular seasons hinge on the outcomes of two or three big games.
