If there’s one thing you’d think teams would learn over the years, it’s that you should never take a shot at Alabama.
Well, apparently Louisville WR Dez Fitzpatrick didn’t get that memo, as he decided to talk some trash against the Crimson Tide on Saturday afternoon.
As you can see in the video below, Fitzpatrick claims that every Louisville receiver can beat every Alabama defensive back in one-on-one coverage:

True, Alabama is completely revamping its secondary this summer after losing guys like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ronnie Harrison, Anthony Averett, Levi Wallace, Tony Brown and others, but the Tide aren’t exactly turning to a group of scrubs in the secondary, either.
It’s safe to say this video will make the rounds in Tuscaloosa, and when Week 1 arrives, Fitzpatrick will probably get an earful from the Alabama defense.
