The 2024 season in not yet over for Alabama football, but there are things we are confident in about this version of the Crimson Tide.
awaits its postseason fate, so we don’t know how many games the Crimson Tide has left in the 2024 season.
Then you look at the losses. Milroe has three touchdowns and six interceptions combined against Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Oklahoma.Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack has stressed takeaways from the moment he arrived, and it paid off.The Crimson Tide ranks second among FBS teams this season with 27 takeaways. Only Notre Dame has more with 28. Alabama has only two games this season where it didn’t get at least one takeaway: USF and Vanderbilt.
The Crimson Tide has proved it can battle in one score games. See Georgia, or South Carolina. But go down by 10 or more points, and it hasn’t gone well for Alabama. Now, there have been limited opportunities of such scenarios. Really just Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. But Alabama hasn’t shown it can battle back when trailing big.In half of its games, Alabama has turned the ball over once or not at all. The Crimson Tide won all of them: Western Kentucky, Wisconsin, Georgia, Missouri, LSU and Mercer.
Alabama wide receivers Germie Bernard and Ryan Williams celebrate a touchdown by Bernard during the second half of an NCAA college football game against South Carolina, Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024, in Tuscaloosa, Ala.Part of it’s because of depth and what Alabama has at each position. Part of it’s a willingness to give freshmen a shot.
It’s clear, though, that Alabama is not a team designed to pass 40+ times a game to win most of the time. The one time the Crimson Tide passed more than 40 times, it lost to Tennessee.
