The search for an identity of the 2023 Alabama football team is pointless exercise.
It was a matter of slotting where they fit in the lineage from the defensive maulers early in Nick Saban’s run to the offensive explosion in the next phase.There was something missing after claiming the 2020 national title with an embarrassment of offensive riches. Alabama lost four games in 2021 and 2022 -- each time taking fourth-quarter leads only to fold in the end. Frankly, it felt like a lack of either guts or heart but the slip was unmistakable.
Alabama won with defense over Lane Kiffin’s crew that turned around and scored 55 points a week later against LSU. The Arkansas game again broke the mold where the slow starts turned into a near meltdown. From up 24-6 on the strength of a big-play passing game to winning 24-21, Alabama’s wild streak of unpredictability continued right into another reversal.
So back in the paint mixer this winning formula went for the annual early November meeting at the cross road with LSU.
