Saban Machine Expected to Crank Out Another Playoff Season

It’s been a decade since Alabama won back-to-back national championships. Specifically, much of the success of those 2011-12 teams was based on continuity. If the Crimson Tide repeats as champions in 2021, it will not be with veterans.  Alabama has several new assistant coaches.  And a plethora of new starters entering its 2021 season.  Saban searches for his seventh national championship in Tuscaloosa and the eighth of his career.

Consider that Alabama lost its quarterback, top ball carrier, top two wide receivers, starting tight end, and three starting offensive linemen.  Also gone are a host of coaches and analysts.  But this is where the Saban effect pays off.  Thanks to Saban’s recruiting, Alabama has the resources to overcome the losses.

Defensive coordinator Pete Golding’s first two seasons did not live up to expectations.  However, the defense was more than good enough to support last year’s record-setting Bama offense.  Most important of all, this year’s unit has everything necessary for Betting on college football success.

At the onset of 2020, the Alabama offense was performing at a national championship level. New offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien’ takes over for Steve Sarkisian, who became Texas head coach.  But with Saban, players and coaches come and go on an annual basis, but the one constant is winning.

Miami Strives to be Crowned by its King

Miami begins their third bet on NCAAF season under head coach Manny Diaz.  Previously Diaz was the defensive coordinator at The U.  In a rough rookie season, Diaz went 6-7.  However, The U improved to finish at 8-3 in 2020.  Diaz hired Rhett Lashlee as his new offensive coordinator, with significantly better results.  Also, factoring was transfer-quarterback D’Eriq King.  King proved to be one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country.  Of major concern for this game is The U’s inability to match the Crimson Tide on personnel or depth.
