The talk all offseason has been of “three-peat,” however, that has historically been a fools errand. Pat Forde traces the very few teams lucky enough to repeat, and how they all fell short in a three-peat bid (including Nick Saban twice):
Saban’s ’15–17 run featured titles on both ends but a five-point loss in between, to Clemson in the College Football Playoff title game. That one ended on a two-yard pass from Deshaun Watson to Hunter Renfrow with one second left.
Cool story for history buffs.
Another 3-star Committed to ‘Bama yesterday, and it’s another in-state player: TE Jay Lindsey.
