Tide's Howard looks to fulfill his potential
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Down 7-3 early in the second quarter against LSU, Alabama’s offense needed a spark. The No. 1 team in the nation was in need of a big play, and it was seldom-used but talented freshman O.J. Howard who delivered.

He, along with Derrick Henry are two players that should have a lot of expectation on their shoulders.  I am very confident that both can and will hold up their respective positions just fine...

He is an excellent receiving tight end but he needs to work on his blocking. We missed big Michael Williams in the run game last year.

“O.J. is a very talented guy,” head coach Nick Saban said. “I think he needs to continue to improve in some areas because he’s a great pass receiver, but we continue to work on trying to improve him as a blocker and get him to pay attention to detail and the importance of that part of the game as well.”

I think with CLK running the offense with all this talent he will have an offense just USCw had for so many years. 3-peat now looks possible. RTR!
