There is no other way to sugarcoat it, this Sunday has been an absolute downer for Alabama fans everywhere following news that the Crimson Tide had officially lost out on Hollywood Smothers to the Texas Longhorns. This unexpected turn of events for Alabama comes after it was after many were already beginning to become comfortable with the idea of featuring the North Carolina State transfer running back on offense this fall in Tuscaloosa.
Smothers' loss now leaves Kalen BeBoer and the Crimson Tide rushing attack left wondering what's next at the position, especially coming off the program's worst statistical season running the football since 1946.
