    Alabama Names NEW Starting Left Tackle Jackson Lloyd Brings Stability + FanDuel Sets Tide Win Total

    Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB9n... Alabama football has a major offensive line development heading into the 2026 season as offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb names Jackson Lloyd the Crimson Tide’s starting left tackle. In this episode of Tide Talk Live, we break down what Lloyd winning the job means for Alabama’s offensive line stability and how it could impact the offense moving forward. Left tackle is one of the most critical positions in football, and if Jackson Lloyd locks it down, it could give Alabama the protection and consistency needed to thrive in 2026. We discuss Lloyd’s strengths, how he fits in Alabama’s scheme under Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb, and why this decision could be huge for the Crimson Tide offense. We also react to FanDuel Sportsbook setting Alabama’s 2026 win total at 8.5 games. Is that disrespectful to the Crimson Tide, or is it a fair projection? We debate whether Alabama will go OVER or UNDER 8.5 wins and what factors will ultimately determine the Tide’s success this season. Topics Covered in This Episode Jackson Lloyd named Alabama’s starting left tackle Why the left tackle position is critical for the Crimson Tide Ryan Grubb’s impact on the Alabama offense How Lloyd stabilizes Alabama’s offensive line FanDuel setting Alabama’s win total at 8.5 Over/Under prediction for the Crimson Tide in 2026 If you’re an Alabama football fan, this is a must-watch breakdown of one of the biggest offensive storylines heading into the season.
