Louisville WRs '1,000 percent' have talent edge over Alabama DBs, Louisville WR says

Three Saturdays from game day in Orlando, some confidence is spilling over from Alabama's first opponent.

Louisville receiver Dez Fitzpatrick didn't hesitate meeting with local media on the matchup he anticipates with the Crimson Tide secondary Sept. 1 in Orlando.

"Every receiver in our receiver corps can honestly beat every one of their DBs one-on-one in coverage," Fitzpatrick said in a video tweeted by WLKY-TV. "It ties into the other stuff, if the blocks are right, if the quarterback's drop is right, we ran eight-yard routes instead of a 10-yard route, that's the kind of stuff I feel like we need to sharpen up.
