The team had an unstoppable offense with Mac Jones, Najee Harris, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, a valuable offensive line, and Steve Sarkisian running the show as an elite play-caller. Alabama had three Heisman Trophy finalists on the team — Jones, Harris, and Smith — and Smith became the first Tide wide receiver to win the Heisman Memorial Trophy. Fans believe the 2020 team is the all-time greatest for Alabama, but a former Tide legend questions it. George Teague, an All-SEC and All-American safety in 1992, played under Gene Stallings in the school’s undefeated SEC and national championship season in 1992.

Teague said the 2020 Alabama team had a great offense, but it did not have a great defense.
