According to ESPN's Bill Connelly, Kalen DeBoer and Alabama football have two major "ifs" standing in the way of being a championship team.
There was a lot of negativity surrounding Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama football program at the end of last season, particularly following a rough December in the Transfer Portal and a loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. Fans and pundits were beginning to shovel dirt on the days of Alabama being a national power.
But now, as we sit just over a month until the start of the 2025 season, folks across the nation are beginning to accept that the Crimson Tide will have one of the most talented rosters in the country this season.
