Overall I am finding it pretty difficult to be critical of the 2021 Alabama football. A team that was already full of youth and inexperience had to battle through several key injuries and when it was all said and done they played the toughest schedule in the country according to ESPN’s College Football Power Index.

This team produced Alabama’s first-ever quarterback to win a Heisman Trophy and also had its most dominant defensive player since the great Derrick Thomas.

It wasn’t always pretty and it didn’t always turn out the way Crimson Tide fans would have liked, but you would be hard-pressed to convince me that this wasn’t one of Nick Saban’s best coaching jobs in his tenure with the Tide.

Final Overall Grade: A-
