VIDEO: Eli Gold Talks Expectations for the Crimson Tide in 2017

With talent on both sides of the football, the Alabama Crimson Tide have positive expectations heading into the upcoming season.

Despite a rough end to the season in the championship game against Clemson, Coach Saban and the Crimson Tide are looking to adjust and bounce back into the College Football Playoffs, this time with a different outcome come January.

"Well you know it's a very good team, it is a young team as Coach Saban has said," Gold said. "So there are going to be some growing pains i dare say in some regard. But as we all learned last year, young or inexperienced does not necessarily mean lack of success. Jalen Hurts inexperienced himself all the way to the national championship game darn near won it."

The voice of the Alabama Crimson Tide Eli Gold joined The Game with Ryan Fowler to share his thoughts on what Alabama's expectation this season could be.
