That’s the difference in good recruiting and Nick Saban recruiting.
I actually similarly remember sitting in the first few rows of Neyland Stadium for No.
1 Alabama vs No.
9 Tennessee in 2016 and being right behind the Tide’s defensive line during warm-ups.
Alabama, of course, kicked our ass just it they did Notre Dame’s in 2012.
Even the 42-14 final score doesn’t illustrate how non-competitive that game was.
Bama could have won that game 56-0 if it really wanted to.
I’m so fascinated to watch what happens with the Crimson Tide in the next few years.
They’re going to be one of the most interesting teams in college football for the next five seasons.
