How dumb is the shotgun formation on the goal line in college football? I dove into its touchdown rate vs. QB under center, and it was even worse than I thought.
Spent a good chunk of the offseason on this research. Hope you enjoy 👇

He’s never complained about players getting paid. Supported NIL as a concept from the day it was born.

Nate Oats also asked about the early flare-up.

Cole Cloer "should be available" for Alabama's opener vs Sam Houston, per Nate Oats. @tuscaloosanews

Alabama basketball gets one final preseason test against Auburn tonight.

LSU has argued that the SEC's lawsuit in Birmingham should be dismissed, per court documents obtained by @tuscaloosanews.

The filing described the SEC's inclusion of men's basketball in its Oct. 13 response as a "Hail Mary." More below: https://t.co/HxgImrXHtF

Alabama TE Marshall Pritchett said DB Bray Hubbard addressed the team about “being uncomfortable” before Tuesday’s practice.

Making sense of the daylight between Alabama OC Ryan Grubb’s run game vs Tennessee, and what he said Monday about the importance of one.

Does Kalen DeBoer trust Alabama OC Ryan Grubb as a play-caller?

"I think he's a great play-caller."

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

Here's the direct quote from Ryan Grubb on the running game, since I paraphrased initially.

"I think if you look at our best performances and the games that we played really well, that's exactly how it went. The run game set it up. They go to close coverage. They put a seventh hat in the box, and then we're throwing play action. Play action happens. They get the extra hat out of the box, and you hit them with the run game. So, I think those things certainly are complementary. That's not, you know, rocket science. Everybody in the country knows that. But when you can't establish and consistently maintain drives, you got to find ways to get the little wins, get the quick game, get the inside zone duo, all the little hits to get yourself in second and four and call another run, get to a first down."

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

Ryan Grubb acknowledges Alabama's best work offensively this year has come off the run game and working play action as defenses adjust their numbers in the box. "Those are things we'll be talking about."

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

Haven't looked at the Tenn sacks yet but vs UGA, was more an issue of blitz pickup/recognition (RB/TE/QB) than an OL issue.

[Clint Till @ClintTill]

@ChaseGoodbread Yes, we all agree it has to be fixed. What exactly is happening along the OL to allow the sacks? What is that group doing/not doing? What is the staff going to do specifically to correct it?

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

Kalen DeBoer on injuries, says everyone who's hurt - named Delgatty, RCW, Green, Z.Brown, Crowell specifically - will be limited or unavailable for practice early in the week, with hope for more participation later in the week.

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

Kalen DeBoer on play calling vs Tenn: "Everything comes down to execution. ... When you're in third and extra longs like we had a number of times early in the game, you don't want to make a bad situation worse. ... It's OK to punt the football once in awhile ... Our mistakes early allowed Tennessee to play the game they needed to play."

[Chase Goodbread @ChaseGoodbread]

On several questions that didn't specifically have to do with defending screens, Kane Wommack took his answer there. Pretty clear that nothing about UA's defensive effort bugged him more.
