College Football Semi-Final Previews: Bama vs Cincy/Georgia vs Michigan

Alabama host Ole Miss this week

I’ve got an 11-month old who’s sole aim (between teething) is to exhaust me.

After coming to Tuscaloosa as one of the top QBs in the 2020 recruiting cycle, everyone has been excited about seeing this Californian prospect start. He has already been mentioned as having a Heisman chance. ARKANSAS: KJ JEFFERSON.
