Joining me now on the podcast, Nick Alvarez, he covers the Crimson Tide for AL.com. We talked in the off season about this Alabama team and we really weren't going to be, we weren't too sure what they were going to be. Early in the season, obviously four weeks in, you know, what is this Alabama team to you thus far?

0:26.0

Reemurgions of Jayle Mill wrote last week against. L. L. A. L. A.
