00:00Okay, so Alabama wins nine games, and in a normal world, that's okay, but not in Tuscaloosa. That's like a down year for them. They ended up losing the ReliaQuest Bowl. Their win total this year is a little bit higher than what it was last year. Actually, I think it was the same, nine and a half going into this year, if I'm not mistaken.
00:19So Kalen DeBoer, definitely with his work cut out for him, he's really following a legend. It's sort of unfair, I think, to some degree, to ask him to do what Nick Saban did, which is win every single year. But do you think that there's a possibility that we could be looking at DeBoer wondering if he's the long-term answer at coach for the Tide?
00:38Well, every year will be pivotal. Each year, because once you get to year three, and if you're losing four games a year, we've seen this with Zook at Florida. You remember that. We've seen it with other coaches over the years. When you're that guy that follows the guy, it can be so tough.
00:53All that said, I'm starting to feel like Alabama, I can't believe I'm saying this, Craig, is a sleeper. Fourth easiest schedule in the SEC this year. Ryan Williams is back. I think the friendly, you know, these early season games against Florida State and Wisconsin, that is friendly for Alabama. And Kalen DeBoer can learn from the lessons of year one. You can't lose to Vanderbilt. You got to be better on the road than they were last year.
01:19But they've got a little bit of sleeper appeal to me in the SEC race and maybe the college football playoff race if Ty Simpson, who waited his turn, is that guy at quarterback.
