In recent weeks, many Alabama football fans have concluded that Crimson Tide safety Bray Hubbard is a better player than Caleb Downs. It is a bold claim. Caleb Downs was a sensational freshman when he played for Nick Saban and Alabama. He has continued his outstanding play for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Hubbard is No. 7 among SEC players with two interceptions and five pass breakups in SEC games. Against SEC competition, Hubbard has forced three fumbles, good for No. 2 among SEC players. In Big Ten games, Caleb Downs is tied for No. 20 with one interception.
