⚡ CFB Dashboard

- KICKER: Don’t even know who the special teams coach is but we have a good punter and a good kicker and a good kickoff man.

- Coaching: Statistical rankings this early in the season are always a little tricky.

- KICKER: Well, we did have 2 players on the return team wearing the same jersey number.

- Through Alabama's first three 2026 games, the article cites PFF tracking of 31 avoided tackles on 125 rushes. Its running backs have eight runs of at least 15 yards but 14 carries stopped for zero or negative yardage, with Hill, Crowell and Brown each having at least three such stops. The combination shows explosive gains alongside drive-disrupting runs, not consistently efficient rushing. - Alabama's Keelon Russell has a 157.1 passing-efficiency rating, 68.7% completions and 9.2 yards per attempt through three 2026 games; the team has four passing touchdowns. Russell also has seven runs of at least 10 yards. These are the article's early-season production measures, not a quarterback change or a schedule-adjusted forecast. - Alabama's defense has 10 sacks through three 2026 games, including three by Devan Thompkins, while opposing running backs average 3.3 yards per carry.

Those are current aggregate vulnerabilities, not a reported coverage change or a prediction for South Carolina. - Through three 2026 games, Alabama kicker Conor Talty is 8-for-8 on field goals, with his longest attempt from 45 yards. Alabama has touchbacks on 23 of 28 kickoffs and leads the reported national net-punting table at 48.6 yards on only five punts. The small sample and limited field-goal range qualify the results; they do not establish longer-range certainty.

- KICKER: It’s like people did not read the fantastic article Charlie posted about Talty: “Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and Talty’s teammates voiced their support for the kicker, as well as their displeasure with the...
