ESPN analyst David Pollack: Alabama has ‘most complete offense’ in college football

Alabama will be without coach Nick Saban on Saturday against Georgia. However, ESPN analyst David Pollack is still confident the Crimson Tide has the offensive firepower to counter a dominant Bulldogs defense.
Pollack was effusive in his praise of the Alabama offense recently on his podcast — The CFB Podcast with Herbie, Pollack and Negandhi.
“Most complete (offense), this offensive line is the best it’s been in a couple of years,” Pollack said in a quote transcribed by 247Sports. “Najee Harris is the best he’s been, and he’s arguing for the best back in the country. His development over the years has been really cool. When he got to Alabama, he was 6-foot-3, 245 and already a freak. But he didn’t have a clue how to hit a hole. He didn’t have a clue how to set up blocks. He’s super developed now, knows how to sit on blocks and be patient. Great receiver out of the backfield. He’s really developed.”
The senior Harris is off to a hot start so far, amassing 347 yards and an eye-popping 10 touchdowns.
Overall, the Alabama offense is averaging a blistering 51 points this season under new starting QB Mac Jones.
The Crimson Tide will be squaring off against a Georgia defense allowing just 12.3 points per game. This much anticipated SEC showdown will go a long ways in the College Football Playoff race. It’ll be fascinating to witness how everything plays out under the primetime lights on Saturday.
