re: Alabama/Miss State pulls a 3.8 rating, highest rated cable game of the season

The thing that has surprised me lately is how Alabama is being beaten at times on the defensive and offensive lines. They don't seem nearly as dominating here as they've always been in the past. Of course, Mississippi State does have a very good front seven this season, but even LSU, with two freshmen playing on the offensive line, was able to get the better of Alabama's D-line fairly often during that game.

Not taking anything away from our guys at all, but with the injuries at LB, it was a little easier for blocking assignments last night.

BTW, we only played one senior last night and had our top three receivers out to match Bama's LB injuries.

I think we will be more competitive the next couple of seasons.
