Former Alabama running back, Damien Harris decided to take a jab at the Crimson Tide after it lost to Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
Harris has been highly critical of his alma mater this season, especially when Alabama slid into the College Football Playoff after losing to Georgia in the SEC Championship. He said the Tide was not a playoff team before the committee put Alabama in.
“No, they are not,” Harris said. “Miami, I would have a lot of confidence that they would score more than seven points against this defense. Texas already did it. Vanderbilt, I believe they could do it. This Alabama team, specifically the offense, it did not look playoff caliber, straight up and down.”
He faced a lot of backlash from Tide fans after he made this statement. He poured more fuel on the fire with his post to X after Alabama was dominated by Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
And y’all wanted me to apologize 😂😂😂

Alabama now has to regroup in the hope of making improvements in year three under Kalen DeBoer.
