Alabama football will enter its matchup against Indiana in the Rose Bowl with a much healthier roster at its disposal.
Josh Cuevas (TE), LT Overton (DL), Kelby Collins (DL) and Kevin Riley (RB) all missed the SEC Championship game. Collins and Cuevas made a return to the field against Oklahoma in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Overton and Riley returned to practice this week, and both are expected to play in the Rose Bowl.
“So having these guys, first of all, back but having them back at the level of health that they are, it leads to, again, our own momentum internally, whether it’s this game, but more importantly even the practices and just the level of intensity that they’re bringing, how more fresh they feel,” DeBoer said.
