Video: Pate on Bama's future under DeBoer

[RollTide_HTTR]

The schedule will be Alabama's, and other good SEC teams, issue again next year. The committee showed that they value wins over difficulty. Three losses will keep Alabama out of the playoffs. It's easy to find three losses on next year's schedule. Boise States and Indianas will take the spots of the three-loss SEC teams.

Some truth to that but even with our schedule we have enough guys coming back that we shouldn't lose 3 regular season games. If we get QB and RT right

We shouldn’t have lost 3 games this year either…

We shouldn’t have lost 3 games this year either…

Well, yeah. But we had way more question marks going into the season than we will next season. Next season with what we have returning, a refresh at QB, and returning system on both offense and defense we should not lose 3 games. Especially with the defense we are likely to have

Tougher schedule though

True. Still don't think there are any excuses

Tougher schedule though

Indeed, but we shouldn't be playing with one arm behind our back at a particular position like we did all season this season.

I suspect Pate knows a lot more than he wants to let on.

I thought it was interesting how he used the phrase “held hostage by the quarterback position”, knowing what we know about LANK.

Yeah, his choice of words was very interesting.
