The Alabama Crimson Tide came into the season as the national championship favorites. The Crimson Tide returned a lot of talent from a very good 2021 team. The 2022 Alabama team showed similarity to last year’s edition of the Crimson Tide in Saturday’s narrow win over Texas.
In 2021, quarterback Bryce Young and the Crimson Tide escaped with close wins over Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, and LSU. Alabama’s 20-19 win over Texas wasn’t pretty, but ultimately the Crimson Tide prevailed thanks to a last second field goal from kicker Will Reichard.
