Bama had very few players who missed any time, while most of the SEC had players out for extended time or had to cancel games

Bama has Waddle out for several weeks, Dickerson was injured, we had a starter on the O-line miss a game due to covid, we had several backups miss games due to covid.

Bama didn't publicize every time a healthy college athlete contracted covid, but that doesn't mean they didn't have cases and have those players miss games.

They also had multiple games where coaches missed (HC and assistants) due to covid.

If Saban wasn't symptomatic, he wouldn't have missed a game

Trolling? Bama had the same testing program that every other SEC team had, yet added 2 days worth of testing per week on top of it. The goal was to identify cases as soon as possible so those players could be quarantined and others not impacted.

Don't hate bc Saban had a better plan for this than your coach did.

roster management is obviously a very important factor every year, and is becoming more so all the time, considering more lenient transfer rules, players opting out to avoid injury prior to nfl, etc. It's yet another example how Saban is better than the other coaches.

Injuries vs Covid is two different subjects. I sure if they could they would have played an injured Waddle, oh wait.
