Alright, smart decision. Tua going pro. Rehab with the best while getting paid.

Hmmm...will be interesting to see how bammer does next season. Presumably, their 3 stud receivers should be going pro along with potentially Najee Harris. Mac Jones looked decent filling in for Tua, but how much of that was having three ridiculous WRs to throw to? He wasn't a very highly rated recruit. Tua's brother is there and they're bringing in top QB recruit Bryce Young, but he's 5'11/185...he might need a year to bulk up a bit. On top of that, Bammer's defense isn't what it was. Will be an interesting year in Tuscaloosa.

Probably a lot. The cracks in his ability showed against Auburn. He put up big numbers (because of the WRs) but also made some crucial mistakes that ended up losing them the game. I don't put much stock into his performance against scUM, as any team with WRs with any kind of remotely elite ability have torched that secondary to shreds.

Thoughts on the defense?

I think it will be much improved with Moses and McMillon returning. We needed those guys really bad this year. Their absence is, IMO, the reason for the weakness in the defense.

pass rush is a potential problem. Hopefully Labryan Ray can provide that (he was injured this year too). Barmore has also shown a lot of promise there but didn’t play too much because he had some freshman lapses.

I’m slightly concerned about Golding, but he didn’t have a lot to work with this year given the injuries and the fact that 6 freshmen started many of the games.

I think Bama will be a better team next year than they were this year. I put experience and brains over pure athleticism. I think 2020 will have a nice mixture of both.

I feel like those were more cracks in his experience rather than cracks in his ability.

I’m not saying he will start over Bryce, but he has shown he has the overall skills needed. He just needs the polish of game time. UGA will be a big early test, which, if bama can win that game, sets them up well to contend.

But its an S-E-C game. Even if they lose it counts as a win.
