The Tides versus The Dawgs. I believe that every CFB fan is eagerly anticipating this game right now. The leader of the Crimson Tide, Kalen DeBoer, is going crazy. The Tides dominated and defeated WKU 63-0 in the season opener. Alabama defeated South Florida 42-16 in the second game of the season. Not only is Kalen DeBoer carrying on Nick Saban’s tradition on the Tides, but he is also filling his shoes. But there have been difficult contests and injuries to players. DeBoer needs to take a break since all of the ailments could interfere with the much anticipated Bulldogs vs. Crimson Tide game.
Charlie Potter provided us with some much-needed updates on Alabama players’ injuries on September 10. Cole Adams is currently dealing with an upper-extremity injury. “We’ll see how it goes during the week here,” DeBoer had observed. This gives rise to certain concerns. DeBoer will have to restrict Adams’ playing time due to this ailment. Adams, the team’s wide receiver and punt returner, has returned seven punts so far. The bright side is that Kadyn Proctor’s shoulder injury is healing nicely. Regarding Proctor’s injury, DeBoer had said, “He’s coming along extremely well, especially at the end of last week.” Proctor still hasn’t performed for the Tides. That person was hurt in the warm-ups before the game. Lastly, Elijah Pritchett is doing rather well in Proctor’s position. Elijah had received “a slight ding,” according to DeBoer. But for now, everything is going well for him. Wednesday and Thursday were practice days. I was prepared to leave. likely focused a little bit more on the left side, according to DeBoer. The upgrades seem correct, but something doesn’t feel quite right.
Any lover of Tides would notice that something about what DeBoer has said seems overly diplomatic. This gives rise to certain concerns. We won’t be able to determine with certainty how bad the damage is until game day arrives. As of right now, we do know that Alabama is strong enough to make it through until September 29th, when they will finally take against Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs. But given that the Bulldogs have also suffered some significant injuries, it doesn’t appear like DeBoer is the only one at a disadvantage in this situation.
When the Dawgs take on Tides and Kalen DeBoer, can they recover?
The Bulldogs’ injury report, which we received on September 8, presents an unsettling image of the group. Ten players have been hurt, and seven of them have had ailments to their legs, shoulders, and toes that have prevented them from playing. The injuries could seriously hurt the squad when they play the Tides, despite the fact that Smart and the team performed admirably in their opening games against Clemson and TN Tech.
Last week, Mykel Williams suffered a Grade 2 ankle injury, which is another major issue. It was mentioned in the September 8th article that Smart had made the decision to sideline Williams until he completely recovers. On September 3rd, supporters had requested that Smart do exactly this. Williams is a must for the Bulldogs to have a legitimate contest against Kalen DeBoer and the Tides. The quality of Alabama’s offence and defence has been demonstrated. The team was tested during the South Florida game, but they were still able to control the second half with ease. It’s game over for Kirby Smart if DeBoer and his son get their opportunity. But people, we still have to wait till September 29th.
