The 2022 season was somewhat of a disappointment for Alabama fans. I say that only because the team did not play for a national championship and fans of the Crimson Tide have come to expect title contention year in, and year out. In reality, the Tide had a strong season that featured only two losses and a win against a conference champion in a New Year’s Six bowl game.
Nick Saban lost a ton of talent, however. Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young is now with the Carolina Panthers, Will Anderson Jr. to the Houston Texans, Jahmyr Gibbs to the Lions and even had a handful of players leave via the transfer portal.
The 2023 college football season will be a pivotal one for Saban and the Alabama program. Many fans are beginning to talk about Saban’s age and the possible downfall of the Alabama dynasty. A quality year for the Tide could silence all of the doubters.
