Alabama is doing ok considering they have a new coach and a roster thin on talent. That will change in the next 2 years as Johnson has done an outstanding recruiting job. In the meantime, Alabama simply doesn't have enough horses to compete day in day out with stronger teams such as notre dame. Yes Alabama defeated Wichita but the shockers were without van fleet and further distracted by the horrific injury Grady suffered during the game. The shockers are down 20 to Iowa at half so clearly they are not as strong as previous editions. Bama may stay close for a half as they did against Xavier and Dayton, but they simply could not sustain that level. Expect a similar result here.
