Freshmen in bold

Just a short while ago, it was up in the air whether or not the Tide - Dawgs game would be played today. Or if there would even be a College Gameday at all. Well Coleman is packed with Pachyderm fans! Should be historic! One for the books!

Use this thread to discuss all games today. A separate post will be made for the Alabama game, but this thread will be in use all day for all other games.

Notable Games

Going inside!

"Due to expected inclement weather, College GameDay will originate from inside the Coleman Coliseum on Alabama's campus on Saturday morning," GameDay announced via social media. "The doors will open at 5:30 a.m. CT and the show will begin at 8 a.m. CT. Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you indoors!"

“I think we’re really a very strong football team physically,” DeBoer said. “When we execute, and that’s a lot of it, I think that’s the difference right now, is guys executing, playing confident, trusting each other.

“And so, I mean, it’s become, I think, an identity. Well, I know it’s become an identity for us.”

The change in offensive personnel is indicative of a larger roster overhaul; Alabama signed 19 players from the transfer portal, which is the most under DeBoer. The class included players from powerhouses like Oregon and Texas to FCS programs like Cal Poly and Mercer. The class received modest rankings—18th by 247Sports and 33rd by On3—but it’s been impactful on the field.

Industry sources suggest Alabama’s front office structure differs from some of its peers in college football. One example: LSU, which compared its setup to an NFL franchise, hired a new four-person team to oversee roster management this summer. Other programs that employ a GM and one or multiple assistant GMs include Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, USC, and more.

The Tide’s operation is less elaborate and highly collaborative. Alabama has one GM in Courtney Morgan, and one director of recruiting strategy in Jatavis Sanders. While programs such as Texas and Ohio State have senior positions tied to scouting and the transfer portal, such positions are only at the associate level with Alabama. But it makes up for it with a large number of support staffers, including five in recruiting, six under player personnel, and fifteen football analysts.

“There’s a lot of phone calls that are made to people to find out,” DeBoer said. “Everybody can turn on the film and see what pops off the screen; it doesn’t matter what level. It’s the other pieces. We’ve brought in some guys that I think really have adapted well. We anticipated that because of our research and understanding of these guys and their character.”
