It's stunning to me how clean this team looked compared to any of the last 2 seasons. Hardly any penalties, good tackling on defense, these were all things that looked bad even in the cupcake games from the past Bama teams.

MTSU won 8 games and a bowl last year. Now I ain’t saying they’re world beaters but they’d 100% handily beat most of the teams we saw other top competition play. Good win, but Texas is definitely a real test. Luckily win or lose its good that game is early, a lot to learn and confidence to gain.
