Jumbo Package: Keelon vs Kamario grabs week 5 headlines

Happy Monday, everyone. So far, so good as far as the 2026 football season goes. Alabama took care of business on Saturday night, to move up to 7th in both the AP and Coaches’ polls. Creg Stephenson moved them up to third in his SEC Power Rankings. After back-to-back poor starts vs. Kentucky and Florida […]

11 “over the top” charts from the South Carolina game

Wow! That was a fun one. I had one of those rare weekends — wedding anniversary weekend getaway — where I was not committed to watching the Alabama game. We had things to do, sights to see, burgers to eat. Heck, I was doing my best not to even check the score. Let the universe […]

Initial Impressions from the South Carolina game

While Alabama technically didn’t start fast last night, it’s hard to be critical of a first half that had South Carolina completely buried before the break. They still haven’t played four full quarters, but there was definite progress last night. A few impressions: Keelon Russell is the real deal The hype train is going to […]

Victory/Late Shift Open Thread

South Carolina came into Tuscaloosa as a double digit underdog, and this time the Tide took care of business to blow out their unranked foe. The first two series of the game actually didn’t go all that well. South Carolina star tailback Matt Fuller got loose on the first play of the game for a […]

Wake Up! Week 4 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread

Football is back on today, so make your coffee and kick on the TV! Indiana nearly blew it last night as an appetizer, and now we have a whole day of ball ahead of us. Alabama kicks off against South Carolina later this evening in the 6:00 time slot, so you have plenty of time […]

Jumbo Package: Alabama football vs South Carolina previews and predictions

Happy Friday, everyone. Next up for Alabama is a visit from South Carolina tomorrow night. Your previews: South Carolina plays Alabama close no matter what trajectory the Gamecocks are on. That’s life in the SEC. That’s life with Sellers, Harbor and Stewart. But there seems to be something different in the air ahead of Alabama […]

Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the South Carolina Defense

While Shane Beamer keeps changing out his offensive coordinator like an air filter, he’s stuck with defensive coordinator Clayton White ever since 2021. 6 straight years is a long time. At this point, you generally know the scheme: it’s a multiple front, 1-gap defense that goes with a whole lot of man coverage with plenty […]

Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the South Carolina Offense

A year ago when I was previewing the South Carolina ahead of their matchup with Alabama, the Gamecock offense was reeling and the fanbase was on the verge of calling of the firing of Shane Beamer. Well, they did a little more damage to Alabama than we thought they would, and that, coupled with playing […]

College Football Blogpoll 2026: Week 3

With a few games under our belts both in conference and with some cross-conference matchups, there’s a little bit of clarity starting to appear with who in College Football might be #good, and who #isn’t. We here at Roll Bama Roll are, as always, fans of cold, hard facts, and, of course, our own disregarding […]

Random Thoughts Week 3: Spotlight on the SEC

While the Big Ten was still playing cupcakes, the SEC dominated the airwaves and the hearts of college football fans across the country (world?). Ole Miss 32 LSU 24 – Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford and gets whupped by his old team. Do you think he might have a little twinge of regret? The Bayou […]

Jumbo Package: Ryan Grubb Apologizes to Alabama fans

Let’s start the JP today with the press conference from Ryan Grubb: The big thing that came out of Grubb’s press conference yesterday was him making an unsolicited comment about Alabama fans “giving up” on the team because of their booing. “I had some boo-birds,” Grubb told reporters in Tuscaloosa on Monday during his weekly […]

Jumbo Package: Alabama defense looks to regroup vs South Carolina

Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama fans weren’t necessarily thrilled with the team’s performance on Saturday, but they did get a win. Keelon Russell spoke about what was said during the weather delay. After the break, UA got hot offensively. The Tide won 50-36, moving to 3-0 to begin the 2026 season. After the game, quarterback Keelon […]

Initial Impressions from the Florida State game

Alabama fans rightfully had a heaping helping of deja vu and the resulting heartburn early in yesterday’s contest, as Florida State rolled into Bryant Denny like they owned the place. Starting slow is quickly becoming part of this team’s identity, and that trait is highly concerning. Give Alabama credit for resilience as they never quit […]

Victory/Evening Shift Open Thread

First off, we owe Florida State an apology. This team is not ready to quit on the season as I suggested, and they gave Alabama all they wanted before coming up short 50-36. Kalen DeBoer talked all week about challenging his team to start fast. Unfortunately, whatever tactics he used in practice to make that […]

Alabama vs Florida State Second Half Open thread

Well that was weird and gross. Alabama’s offense was all but useless to open the game, and the Tide defense kept somehow losing on 50/50 YOLO balls deep down the field as they fell to a brutal 21-6 deficit. The Tide finally figured something out, though, and put together a 12 play drive that ended […]

Wake Up! Week 3 Viewing Guide and Morning Open Thread

Things are picking up around college football as we start getting away from cupcake openers to some real games. Kicking things off early, we have a handful that could be interesting. #2 Georgia vs Arkansas – 11 a.m. – ABC UGA looks unstoppable and Arkansas still looks like the worst in the SEC. But is […]

Alabama vs Florida State 2026: Q&A with Tomahawk Nation

Tim Scribble from Tomahawk Nation has joined us for another year to talk about Florida State and Mike Norvell, and despite being a fan of those gaudy colors, he’s given us some excellent answers in the past. Let’s just say that he, and the rest of the Seminole faithful, are not very happy with the […]

Alabama Football 2026: Previewing the Florida State Defense

Let’s be up front and honest: the Florida State Seminole defense has been pretty bad to start this season. They gave up 17 points and nearly 300 passing yards to New Mexico State in the season opener, then followed that up by giving up 430 passing yards to SMU last week in a loss. They […]
