No. 1 Alabama to play in College Football National Championship

Cody Estremera and James Ogletree • December 29, 2018
No. 1 Alabama’s offense did what it does best: score early and often in the first quarter. It put up 21 points in the first 15 minutes of the game, digging a hole to large for the Heisman Trophy winner and his team to climb out of, leading to a 45-34 win in the Orange Bowl.

Deionte Thompson waits his turn, becomes leader in secondary

James Ogletree, Staff Writer • December 29, 2018
After sitting for three years behind future NFL safeties like Eddie Jackson, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ronnie Harrison, redshirt junior Deionte Thompson got his chance in 2018. Undaunted by the prospect of waiting several years to see significant playing time, Thompson’s patience has paid off, as he has become one of the premier players for the top-ranked Crimson Tide.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.— Offensive linemen hardly are praised. Usually during a game, the only time a lineman’s name is called is when he commits a penalty or gets beat. That changes each December when...

Jalen Hurts reaps rewards by staying at Alabama

Cody Estremera, Sports Editor • December 29, 2018
“Jalen is going to be a more successful person in his life because of what he went through, not winning 26 games, but what he went through this year trying to be the kind of person who had to support other people after he was a star player.”

Williams takes mathematical approach to left tackle

James Ogletree, Staff Writer • December 28, 2018
They say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but a faceful of a Georgia linebacker’s fingers helped Alabama’s Jonah Williams tap into a rarely-seen side of the All-American left tackle. Two plays after the linebacker’s 15-yard penalty for illegal hands to the face, Williams, still fuming, escorted a different Bulldogs linebacker 15 yards downfield, landed on him, and wildly pumped his fists as running back Josh Jacobs nearly scored.

Jaylen Waddle’s energy, coachability lead to standout season

James Ogletree, Staff Writer • December 27, 2018
Since he signed with Alabama in February, people have been trying to find a way to describe Jaylen Waddle, junior defensive back Shyheim Carter described him in one short phrase at Orange Bowl Media Day on Thursday. “He’s special,” Carter said. “He’s special.”

Surtain makes easy transition from high school to No. 1 Alabama

Cody Estremera, Sports Editor • December 27, 2018
Replenishing the secondary was the most important part of Alabama’s 2018 recruiting class. It lost every member of the starting secondary from the team that won the national championship. Of the 21 players to come in, five played in the secondary, but the player that drew the most attention from the moment he signed with the Crimson Tide was Patrick Surtain II.
Alabama fends off Arizona after losing another big lead

Alabama fends off Arizona after losing another big lead

Ben Stansell, Assistant Sports Editor • December 9, 2018
It was Déjà vu for Alabama. Almost. With only a few minutes left in its game against Arizona, the Crimson Tide found itself in a familiar position. For the second straight game, Alabama let a big lead vanish in the second half. Last week, it was a 22-point first-half advantage against Georgia State. This week, it was a 19-point lead against the Wildcats. Except this time, Alabama didn’t let victory slip away, fending off Arizona in the final minutes to claim a 76-73 win.

Schafer’s love of disc golf breaks barriers

Ben Stansell, Assistant Sports Editor • December 6, 2018
Unlike the other members of Alabama’s disc golf team, Schafer prefers going to bed early and rising before the sun. That way, he doesn’t have to compete for a shower during tournaments.
