Chris “The Bear” Fallica discussed the struggles Alabama has been facing early in the season.
The Crimson Tide cruised past Middle Tennessee State but fell to Texas at home the next week before a sleepy win at South Florida. That raised some alarm bells for Fallica as Nick Saban’s team faces Ole Miss.
“You’d have expected them to come back against an overmatched South Florida team, make some quarterback changes. Did not respond, looked terrible,” Fallica said on FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” on Saturday. “The biggest concern for me … is their offensive line. They’ve allowed 12 sacks, barely averaging 4 yards per carry, which is what you want from Alabama typically, physical offensive line, great running game.”
With Jalen Milroe starting against the Rebels on Saturday, Fallica noted the necessity of a proper response.
” If they win, look good, [they’re] on track for an SEC Championship Game appearance. However, if they struggle, those games against LSU and [Texas] A&M look daunting, and I think the chorus of ‘What is Alabama season? Is it the end of Alabama’s dynasty?’ is only going to grow louder,” he said.
