Our SEC previews takes us to the defending national champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide, my friend Michael Casagronday from A.L.com. We'll join us now on the Welcome Home Beef Hotline.

I think I was a year ahead of myself on the Bryce Young hype. I sort of saw last year as a Kelly Bryant, Trevor Lawrence kind of situation,

0:21.9

but Mack Jones proved me wrong. So was I right to think he's that good, though, that he could
