Miami quarterback D'Eriq King tore his right ACL in the Cheez-It Bowl against Oklahoma State and seems to have fully recovered, but he has a daunting challenge against defending national champion Alabama on Saturday. The Crimson Tide return eight starters on defense and only three on offense but, of course, Nick Saban's recruiting of five-star players usually overcomes the lack of experience. Bryce Young is the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide after spending the majority of 2020 on the bench behind Mac Jones. The sophomore completed 13 of 22 for 156 yards and a TD in limited action. In the Alabama spring game, Young finished 25 of 44 for 333 yards. Brian Robinson Jr. averaged 5.3 yards for 483 yards and six touchdowns backing up Najee Harris and he will be the featured running back. The Tide could have one of their best defenses in Saban's tenure and obviously that is saying something. Alabama finished 9-4 ATS and has allowed an average of just 17 points per game the past four seasons. Miami gave up an average of 27 points in 2020. Take Alabama and the UNDER.
