Alabama football: Todd McShay ‘scared to death’ of Bryce Young’s height

Happy Tuesday everyone. Alabama remains No. 2 in this week’s AP poll, as the top 5 remained unchanged. The Tide collected 5 first place votes.

The The NFL Combine starts today, and much of the action will be televised on the NFL Network, if you’re so inclined. Todd McShay said Bryce’s official height is indeed a big red flag.

But like 2023 NFL Association is scheduled to start in Indianapolis on Tuesday, ESPN’s Todd McShay revealed that Young’s official height is measured at 5-10.5, which would make him one of the shortest starters next season. McShay didn’t hold back on how he thinks this should make some general managers of teams at the top of the draft feel.

“If I’m the GM, I’m scared to death I’ll do him,” McShay said.

He will likely continue to rise high, but it will be interesting to see how much the media types tear him down in the process when he has built him up throughout his college career.

The Big Ten is picking over the carcass of the Pac 12, as no television networks seem to want them without Los Angeles.

According to a report from college football insider Matt Hayes, the conference is expected to target schools that are currently members of the Pac-12.

Big Ten officials want membership from at least two and no more than four Pac-12 universities.

That list of four includes Oregon, Washington, California and Stanford, with the Big Ten zeroing in on Washington and Oregon as the preferred options.

The gloves have come off in media rights negotiations between Amazon and the Pac-12 Conference. And here comes the steel fist that has helped make Amazon the dominant e-commerce company in the country.

Amazon “plays hardball” in media rights negotiations with the unfortunates university conferencesources told Front Office Sports.

According to sources, the technology giant is aiming for the best game matches and the best financial terms.

Founder Jeff Bezos’ Amazon didn’t grow to $513 billion in annual revenue by playing nice. If the Pac-12 thinks it’s getting rich off Amazon, they’re mistaken, the sources said.

If Washington and Oregon collide, calling the remaining names a “Power Five” league is a bigger joke than the upcoming Big 12.

Bill Connelly points out behind the paywall that Tennessee had the best possessions in the country in terms of passes defended that didn’t turn into interceptions.

On whom did the god of fallen abductions smile the most? Here are five offenses that had less than 10% of their defenses intercepted.

131. Tennessee (6.7% of defenses were INTs, -3.8 INTs more than expected)

130. FAU (7.1%, -5.1)

129. Texas A&M (8.2%, -5.4)

128. Duke (8.3%, -6.5)

127. East Carolina (8.8%, -6.0)

That’s not even counting the game-sealing interceptions that were overturned by terrible, late calls made by linebackers who were 30 yards away from the action. Overall, Alabama ranked outside the top 100 in turnovers last season, which undoubtedly contributed to some close games.

Finally, Nate Oats just can’t help himself. He’s a shit-talker who talks shit.

If you haven’t seen what he’s talking about, watch this six minute video. Iowa overcame a 13-point deficit with 90 seconds left in the game.

That’s it for now. Have a nice day.

Roll Tide.
