Through three games in the 2023 season, Alabama has played three different quarterbacks. None of whom appear to be able to put the Tide back on top and return the program to its championship-winning caliber of play.

“What hurt him was that he had Tua, Mac jones and he had Bryce Young,” said Sharpe. “What quarterback do you know is going to Alabama? Caleb Williams said he wanted to go to Alabama and (his dad) said ‘You’re not going to Alabama!’”

Notably missing from his comments is Jalen Hurts, but we can let that one slide.

There’s plenty of time for things to turn…
