Alabama Football: Supporters Rally Following Crimson Tide’s 2.5-Point Opening-Day Underdog Win Against Georgia Bulldogs, a Top Rival Team – Week 4
Legendary Alabama football coach and seven-time national champion Nick Saban retired at the age of 72 after the 2023 season. He hung up his straw safari hat and whistle. Alabama swiftly turned its attention to Washington Huskies quarterback Kalen DeBoer. DeBoer signed an eight-year, $87 million contract with the Crimson Tide, making him just the third head coach in the program’s history. Alabama, who has won at least 11 games every season since 2008, has continued to perform admirably under DeBoer. They now own a 3-0 record and are ranked fourth in the most recent edition of the AP Top 25.
However, the sportsbooks have not fully bought in on DeBoer, the roster, or both, with them opening up as a field goal underdog in their post-bye week matchup against rival Georgia. Alabama football fans are unfamiliar with playing a home underdog role, as noted by the Crimson Tide faithful’s expressions on social media.
