3. Veteran Leadership

That veteran leadership will be a huge factor in the team staying focused throughout the season.

Hunter Renfrow, Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, Austin Bryant, Mitch Hyatt, Kelly Bryant, Kendall Joseph and many others have been there before.

They know what to expect. They know what it takes to get to the College Football Playoff.

That leadership will be a huge reason for the Tigers winning the National Championship. Every time has to have veteran leaders that can keep the team motivated and yet level-headed. This team certainly has that at basically every single position.
