Alabama’s defense will miss. Its offense might not.
That’s my 10-word takeaway after observing on a beautiful Saturday on Bryant-Denny Stadium, when 72,358 fans turned out to welcome new football coach Kalen DeBoer.
On the topic of defense, I noticed the absence of Caleb Downs, Dallas Turner, Chris Braswell and Kool-Aid McKinstry. Now, for the bright side: Quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and backup Ty Simpson took advantage of the defense throughout early possessions.
