If we think it has been hard as fans of Alabama, it has to have been twice as hard for the players. They have to be able to forget about week one and be about that action the rest of the season. Let the play on the field speak for the team for the rest of the season. The players don't need to worry about the past Bama legacy. They have to worry about their own legacy, and they can still control the narrative.
Winning fixes everything, and that starts Saturday night against UL Monroe. Of course, it won't be about winning the game, but about how the team looks.
