redrumsoxLoL 9 Bama dominated an ECU team that is considered a potential contender in the AAC. A strong start for a Crimson tide team trying to reach the top again.

Tarmacked 9 Defense looked great, offense has talent but the quarterback is still pretty unknown against better defensive coordinators. Run game appears to be back, so will give some stability to the offense but this is a big question mark for me. Similar to Indiana I think this has real potential to swing up or down.

0 passing TDs is wild. Russell is a good dual threat it would seem though.

Pyromania1983 14 Unconvinced by Kalen DeBoer's Alabama team. They played well in Week 1, though the first half of their schedule is much easier than the second half, when they face all of Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, and Auburn.

Result: (W) 48-10 East Carolina

The run game looked better than at any point it did last year, so that's a positive, and then Keelon Russell just adds another dimension to this offense; he is superbly talented.

lowes18 15 Alabama dominated a game that was on paper rather sloppy because Keelon Russell looks ready to be a high level college QB. Outside of his play, none of my concerns about Alabama were really mitigated by their performance. I still thought the running game was inconsistent, the o-line showed its warts, and the red zone efficiency which has plagued DeBoer at Alabama still showed up in this game, but Russell might be talented enough to cover all of that up for Alabama.
