Texas will cover against Alabama on Saturday, The Post’s Howie Kussoy predicts.
coach of all time. I’ve written in depth about it in the past. But there’s no need to anymore. We can look at the sunrise without a lesson about the solar system.
Because of Saban’s stature from his seven national championships, there is always overwhelming and understandable hesitation for people to bet against Alabama. But emotion isn’t instructive. Forget how you feel. Look at what’s in front of you. The Crimson Tide have won one national title in the past five seasons. They have suffered multiple losses in three of the past four seasons for the first time under Saban. After seven seasons with future NFL starters under center, they’ve been forced to turn to Jalen Milroe, who wasn’t named the starting quarterback until days before the season opened.
Over the past two seasons, Alabama has played in 10 games decided by a touchdown or less, excluding the national title game loss to Georgia. One came last year at Texas, when the Tide miraculously pulled out a one-point win thanks to Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young’s heroics. The outcome might have been different had Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers — the nation’s former top recruit — not been knocked out after going 9 of 12 for 134 yards.
