Alabama Crimson Tide vs South Florida Bulls team news & key players
Alabama Crimson Tide team news
Stepping into Nick Saban's shoes is no small task for DeBoer, but so far, he’s made quite an impression. Alabama wrapped up the '24 recruiting class on a strong note and then steamrolled WKU 63-0 in their opener.
DeBoer's influence on the offense was immediately evident, with quarterback Jalen Milroe orchestrating a unit that averaged 9.2 yards per play, racking up 600 total yards on just 65 plays. sophomore Justin Haynes assumed RB1 duties and stole the show as well by running for 102 yards and one rushing TD.
The receiving corps, while lacking experience, is spearheaded by five-star freshman Ryan Williams, and the offensive line remains a bit of an unknown. On defense, the linebackers will be the backbone, with Deontae Lawson (67 tackles, 3 sacks) and Jihaad Campbell (66 tackles) returning, and redshirt freshman Qua Russaw looking ready to shine after an impressive Week 1.
South Florida Bulls team news
The USF offense was on fire during the 2023-24 season, racking up 415 points (an average of 31.8 per game). They bring back most of their key contributors, including junior quarterback Byrum Brown, who will have the advantage of a solid receiving corps, headlined by senior wideout Sean Atkins and Purdue transfer Rahmaan-Abdur Yaseen. On the ground, the Bulls will lean on their trio of senior running backs: Nay’Quan Wright, Kelley Joiner, and Ta'Ron Keith, a transfer from Bowling Green.
Defensively, South Florida had its struggles, surrendering at least 31 points on five occasions last season, though they showed some promise. They frequently penetrated opposing backfields, registering 98 tackles for loss (11th nationally), but only managed 23 sacks (1.6 per game). Cornerback Aamaris Brown and linebacker Jhalyn Shuler return to anchor the defensive unit.
