2013 Alabama football's 10 things to know: Tide still on a different level
By Bill Connelly

It takes luck to win a national title. And lord knows it takes quite a bit of luck to win three in four years. But in terms of recruiting, development, and strategy, Nick Saban and Alabama are playing a different game than everybody else in college football. With just a little bit more luck, the Tide might accomplish what has never been done before. For more Alabama, visit Tide site Roll Bama Roll.

Snippet of the sections to give you an idea of what Bill covers.

1. Playing a different game
2. You still need luck
3. Amazing, then only excellent
4. Sell out against the run, pray against the pass
5. Amari Cooper is just unfair
6. We probably shouldn't just assume the line will be amazing again
7. I'll say it again:
8. One pressure point
9. I mean...are you going to pick against them?
10. SEC balance of power
