Buchner reunited with Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Tommy Rees after transferring in this offseason.

So one loss and we’re back to the Jay Barker/Greg McElroy/Jalen Hurts (Bama era) game manager, eh?

    Well, I don’t know if Buchner is actually going to be better than Milroe. But from what I saw on Saturday, Alabama isn’t going to win anything significant with Milroe under center. So maybe it’s worth a shot to see if Buchner can perform against live competition.

        I thought he played pretty decent against us in the Gator Bowl

          He’s not bad by any means. I just never thought he had enough to be our qb let alone make it in a place like Alabama. But maybe whatever offense Rees and Saban have cooked up will suit him better there.

        I like this idea.

    Alabama fans how much of this ‘decline’, ‘end of dynasty’ etc. is just a natural consequence of the transfer portal in full effect? It seems like for over a decade we’ve seen the second best X(running back quarterback etc.) In the country being the backup on the bench for whoever the starter was. Ie Alabamas 3rd team could start at any other school. And now they are. Is that what’s going here or is it something else. Don’t follow close enough to know how much depth you’ve lost recently to the tp.
