Alabama football is halfway through its regular season. The Crimson Tide have made it through much of the panic that surrounded a Week 2 loss to Texas and a rough performance on the road at South Florida and have moved to 3-0 in SEC play, 5-1 overall.
Heading into the back half of the year, UA will face Arkansas at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday, the first of three consecutive home games for the Tide. As Nick Saban’s squad prepares for that game, here’s a look back at what the 2023 Alabama team has looked like so far, and what it could ultimately become.
The defense has been the anchor of the Crimson Tide. Even when the team is at its messiest and most ineffective on the other side of the ball, it has usually been able to get the stops it needs to win games.
The offensive line has had major struggles so far. If it’s not struggling to block or even get the snap back to Milroe correctly, its having problems with false start penalties.
