And not one Alabama freshman but that probably has more to do with upper classman getting the PT .

On the last two offensive drives Alabama had 5 true freshmen on the field. 2 receivers, QB, RB and tackle. Watch out Alabama might just have an expolsive offense

Yep. Alabama's final TD pass in OT of the NC game was a freshman to freshman toss!
