Even though Auburn tried its best with a running quarterback, which is typically the kryptonite for the Tide, the Alabama offense was just way too much for the Tigers/Plainsmen/War Eagles.
Young had a great game, which has become expected, and it's too bad we come to expect it all the time because without him, I suspect Alabama would have had more than two losses this season.
From a media standpoint, the 2022 season for Bryce Young has been severely underrated.
In yesterday's game, Young threw the ball to nine different receivers, so he spread the reception love around.
The other standout junior Will Anderson Jr. had three tackles for loss and two sacks, and like Young, has been underappreciated for his stats this year. He wasn't as explosive as last year, but he had a solid season.
Both players are likely to go in the top ten of the NFL draft.
Alabama will have a lot of off-season work to do for the 2023 season with a battle for starting quarterback waiting for them (Milroe vs. Simpson). We'll lose a lot from a defense that had tremendous promise but often was leaky in certain games. We'll lose a lot of DBs to the draft and graduation I suspect.
I think we'll be solid at running back again even if Gibbs decides to go out in the draft.
There's solid depth at WR, but as always, line play is key.
I'm not expecting some championship games shakeout in which Alabama gets into the four-game playoff.
But if were to happen, I suspect Alabama would be up against Georgia.
