Episode notes
Watch Texas Tech At Utah
- Do watch Texas Tech at Utah next week because the winner likely becomes the Big 12 leader and flagship playoff hope.
- Expect the victor to carry pressure to remain unbeaten and represent the conference.
Alabama Has Zero Margin For Error
- Alabama's 73-0 win fixed effort concerns but didn't erase the season-risk created by the week-one loss to Florida State.
- Klatt argues Alabama now has zero margin for error in both performance and public sentiment.
Move Ryan Williams Outside
- Watch how Alabama uses receiver Ryan Williams once he returns from concussion protocol and move him outside more.
- Avoid overusing him in the slot where his size and profile expose him to hits and lessen his impact.
