Earlier on "The Game," Ryan Fowler sat down with Tide players Ryan Kelly and Kenyan Drake to talk about the upcoming football season.

Kelly, who is entering his final year at The Capstone, is slated to start at center for the second straight season. He talked with Fowler about how the Tide has finished the past two seasons, and expressed how that didn't live up to the Alabama standard. Redefining themselves as "a team that other teams don't want to play" is point that he wanted to drive home.

Tide running back Kenyan Drake was on with Fowler, discussing his comeback from his season-ending leg injury last year. If he is able to return with the same quickness and explosiveness that he showcased last season, then watch for offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to utilize him in the same manner as he used Reggie Bush while at USC.
