Alabama football kicks off the 2023 season Saturday. Here's 10 questions for the Crimson Tide before the game begins.
The Crimson Tide are set to face the Blue Raiders at 6:30 p.m., in a game that will be aired on the SEC Network. Before that, here’s 10 questions about Alabama that will need to be answered during the 2023 season.will reportedly get the start on Saturday, but then what? Saban has said he wants to play multiple signal-callers against the Blue Raiders, and he’ll make a change at the position if need be.
“Every day, we track every penalty, and if anyone more than one penalty, their whole group is affected in some way,” Saban said. “And I point out the fact that this guy got more than one penalty today. So, we’ll see if it works. But, heaven knows that’s something that we have paid great attention to.”Last year’s Alabama team finished outside of the SEC championship game and the College Football Playoff pictures. That happened due to two road losses against LSU and Tennessee.
With questions at quarterback and Saban wanting to run the ball better, plus Tommy Rees trying to put his own flair on the Alabama system, the young linemen assimilating quickly will be key.After Alabama’s first scrimmage, Saban expressed concern over the depth on his offensive and defensive lines. He said the Crimson Tide had six to seven players on each who he felt were ready to contribute in a meaningful way.There’s plenty of candidates, as the Crimson Tide have continued to recruit well.
It’s just that Saban and new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees would like to do it better. Without Gibbs, the Crimson Tide could see several running backs contribute, including Jase McClellan, Roydell Williams and Jam Miller. Saban has noted the the defensive coordinators have more trouble implementing their own flair into the Alabama system due to his increased involvement on that side of the ball. What Steele does with the group will be interesting to watch.At the start of camp, one of Saban’s major points of emphasis was having players think play-by-play. He hoped that would fix some key plays at the end of games where mental lapses cost the Crimson Tide wins.
But fans care. Alabama hasn’t won a national title since 2020, which in Tuscaloosa during the Saban era is a long gap. In the meantime, Georgia has become the reigning national power led by former UA defensive coordinator Kirby Smart.
