Summary
Alabama is just days away from kicking off the 2026 season against East Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and there are plenty of storylines to discuss before the Crimson Tide takes the field. Johnny Congdon and Wyatt Fulton break down the latest surrounding Alabama heading into Week 1. We start with the return of former Alabama football player and current WWE star Oba Femi, who spoke to the Crimson Tide before presenting Kalen DeBoer with an Alabama-themed WWE Championship belt. We also discuss the brutal temperatures expected for Saturday’s game and how the heat could factor into Alabama’s opener. The conversation then turns to Alabama’s running back room, including Daniel Hill and Tra’Shawn Brown, before diving into one of the more interesting questions surrounding the team: why hasn’t Alabama officially named its captains yet? We discuss the potential reasoning behind Kalen DeBoer taking a different approach to captain selection this season. We also talk about Ryan Coleman-Williams and his decision not to wear gloves this season as he prepares for a bigger role at wide receiver. Finally, we preview East Carolina. The Pirates went 9-4 last season and finished the year with a bowl victory, but they enter 2026 needing to replace 20 starters. Can ECU give Alabama a legitimate challenge in Week 1?
