That's fair. Losing an AA center is a big loss, prior to his loss it was the O-Line I've ever seen at Bama. All five across will likely start in the NFL.

I have to admit I didnt realize the quality of the other OL but I stand by that our OL with all 5 playing in this game is every bit as good as Alabama's.

I have to say this is actually such a good match up. The teams are extremely similar.

First confirmed absence?

Certainly adds some credence to other rumored players possibly out. Sure hope the DT situation isn’t as bad as feared/rumored.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Sorry to see him out. He stepped in for a few plays and did great against Clemson and the moment was not too big for him.

These head games regarding Tommy Togiai...

C’mon, man!

 

[ScriptOhio]

OK, how many players can you ID in the above pictures?

This kid is going to be a beast!

Hope Teague is ready to kill!

In 3 days he gets to do what most do not get to do...win a National Championship with his teammates.

Sounds like Teague might just be ready:

Bama claims 17 NCs? Damn

Has Bama had any players miss a game due to covid?

No Miyan (who has flashed) but get a fresh Master Teague back. That’s helpful.

sermon has solidified himself as #1 back, but what I like going into Monday, is a believe the playbook remains wide open nommayyer who the RB is between Teague and Sermon.

That wasn’t the case last year between Dobbins and Teague and it led to OSU being extremely stagnant with Teague in game.

I don’t have that fear on Monday.

Added some new smileys. To learn the code, hover your mouse over the emoji in the add smiley section (or over a posted smiley, like below) Most of them are last names.

It’s going to be a shootout. Period. Whoever has the ball last is in good shape.I’ll take the guys in scarlet and grey.

Likewise, RTR! Cheers to a good game w/o injuries.

Thanks for all the additions. Hoping we get to use this one the most Monday

Notre Dame didn't have enough speed at wide receiver or defensive back to make it close. Their O-Line was good but they weren't going to be able to run the ball the whole game w/o balance. Other than the one long drive, they were shut down. OSU obviously has a better offense, it's going to be a shootout.

How would you compare this Alabama DL to those 2-5 years ago? It seemed like Notre Dame changed the line of scrimmage more than I'm used to seeing. Not that they were bad, just not as immovable as usual.

I figure it has a lot of long term usage even if the heavy favorites do what Vegas expects. He's enjoyably irritable everywhere but those all-state commercials.
