Former Alabama star Mark Ingram expressed optimism in the Crimson Tide and the team's chances of making the College Football Playoff later this year.
The Alabama Crimson Tide do not feel as dominant as they once were. Alabama suffered a loss to then-No. 11 Texas early in the season but bounced back with consecutive victories against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Arkansas. While the Longhorns are the only blemish on their record, the Crimson Tide are undefeated in SEC play.
Mark Ingram, a former Crimson Tide star who won the Heisman Trophy in 2009, expressed optimism in Alabama’s chances of making the College Football Playoff. 'They just have to keep improving. They played probably one of the best teams in the country in the second week of the season,' he said. 'We kind of just didn’t know who we were, didn’t really have an identity. I think the last three weeks they’ve improved tremendously.
Ingram, who spoke to Fox News Digital on behalf of the Dos Equis College Football Tailgate Throwdown, said the offensive line and defensive line need to keep improving and building upon their recent success. 'I think they found an identity where they’re playing tough, physical, complementary football – offense defense,' he said. 'I think we’re just going to continue to see them improve, continue to see them gel, continue to see them gain momentum as they go through the season.
After the Vols, Alabama has a date with Kentucky.
