• What Alabama's OL wants to be during 2023 season •

• 2023 Bama Sports 2023 •  Tuscaloosa, AL Alabama football’s offensive line wants to be stronger and more aggressive in 2023. Nick Saban has said he wants his team to run the ball better this season, and the line is all in. “I think every offensive line in college football wants to be able to dominate,” center Seth McLaughlin said Monday ahead of Alabama’s first game of the season. McLaughlin and right tackle JC Latham provide most of the offensive line’s experience this season. They’ll be joined by a group that includes Tyler Booker and Darrian Dalcourt at the guard spots. Left tackle has been a bit of a battle, with true freshman Kadyn Proctor and redshirt freshman Elijah Pritchett competing for the spot. McLaughlin praised Proctor when asked on Monday. Head coach Nick Saban has said positive things about the line throughout preseason camp. He has mentioned he wants more depth in the group, but was happy with his starters. On Monday, he was asked what attitude he wanted to see from the offensive line in 2023. "Well, I would say that’s up to them," Saban said. "They want to be dominant and physical— that’s part of the identity we're trying to create and want to create at every position, not just the offensive line." The Crimson Tide kicks off the 2023 campaign at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium against Middle Tennessee State. The game will be aired on the SEC Network. • ROLLING WITH THE TIDE •
