re: Why is everyone convinced Current Bama won’t revert to season ending Bama?

The more I look at Cincy, I think they’re going to muck it up a bit for Alabama’s offense but I’m not confident they’re going to move the ball enough to win.

Alabama ought to cover if they can run the ball effectively again (healthy BRob, maybe a 2nd guy emerges as an effective runner, etc). That’s a big if…but Cincy has been vulnerable to the run.
