    Why is that? Bama has had 2 heisman winners the last 6 years, Julio Jones, defensive players galore drafted, yet the kid who drives the bus gets no love.

    Colt McCoy was most impressive freshman QB I can recall considering he came from Tuscola, Texas with a population of maybe 500 people. He played Class 2A football which is the level of a 1,000 population.

    Herschel Walker was the most dominant freshman. Georgia went undefeated with him running over everyone in sight. He was a monster but actually not a very big guy.

    Seaborn come on now? Same with Lamar once he started talking. It's a good thing he hasn't been in the spotlight or else Bama may have had some trouble taking everyone's money this year. He is doing a great job there and I'm happy for Bama supporters but what is that? You guys love ripping Cam for some stupid postgame outfits but he doesn't have a fraggle rock going on.

    Holieway is the only true freshman to win a national championship and none have gone undefeated while playing in every game. A couple that went undefeated after taking over during their freshman years were Holieway and Dan Marino.

    Well ask yourself this: would Jalen have done all the things you cited if he played for any team other than bama?

    Well I guess that is a little harsh the guy still looks better than I but you know what I mean the media is not picking him up and he is overshadowed by Alabama. I don't think people know who AJ is without the girlfriend. Bama has never had a premium at that position but you gotta give Hurts credit, dude did still help them run the table.

    He probably would not be undefeated or playing for a championship if he played for any other team. Georgia has a freshman quarterback too but they lost five games.

    No they won't, Bama will physically manhandle them. The only team with a chance to beat Alabama is Ohio State because they are the only Playoff team that has both a mobile QB and a physical defense. Clemson has the QB but their defense is shit.

    Everyone with a pulse is just hoping it's not over at halftime. Washington was manhandled by USC. I don't have to tell you what happened to USC when they had optimism, fresh bodies, a new coach, and tradition galore ran up against Hurts and the bama defense do I. Worse loss in school history. Just a thought

    Holieway didn't start that 85 season though. He took over about 4 games in or so when miami broke Aikman's leg

    Never forget Jamelle on the sideline with a thousand dollar mink coat and $1k worth of jewelry on the sidelines. kids used to boldly flaunt the money they were paid back then.

    Around mid-season? Not sure which game exactly, just know that Pitt won out that year after he took over.
