Usually short, and to the point, this one will be different.&nbsp; Kalen Deboer, welcome to the SEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2024-nebraska-corn-huskers-ncaaf-areas-to-watch\">2024 Alabama NCAAF AREAS TO WATCH:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alabama will look different offensively, as Deboer will bring a new style of offense into the SEC.&nbsp; QB Milne\u2019s \u201923 stat sheet was better than people think, but Tide fans always expect more.&nbsp; This year\u2019s RB\u2019s are unproven.&nbsp; The OL is quite young but highly touted.&nbsp; Sacks allowed the past three seasons were 41, 22, and 49 a year ago, 29 of which came in eight SEC regular season games.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s another key watch area.&nbsp; With Saban gone, the transfer portal became Alabama\u2019s enemy for the 1st time.&nbsp; Of the 39 defensive sacks, 25 were achieved by just three players, who all are gone from the program.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may change, but the only two defensive transfers slated to start reside in the secondary.&nbsp; There\u2019s continuity up front, and the new coordinator (former South Alabama Head Coach) has a solid track record.&nbsp; Need a PK?&nbsp; If Alabama comes calling, you come running!&nbsp; Miami Ohio lost a good one, as incoming PK Nicholson was 27-28 a year ago.&nbsp; <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Alabama Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The \u201cunbiased\u201d selection committee conveniently forgot that the Tide nearly lost to Auburn a year ago, and voted them in the final four.&nbsp; Without Saban, no such concession will be made, so Alabama must earn their way in.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I see them losing to both Georgia and LSU, so one more loss (Wisky, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma?) could be an issue. &nbsp; I\u2019m calling this 9-3.&nbsp; I like the Deboer hire, but talent was lost, and this is not an easy schedule.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"college-football-week-0-predictions-picks\">Alabama Crimson Tide College Football Video Preview &amp;
