but after yesterday I think Bama has a legit shot to play for another BCS Title. I realize we looked rough against the Hogs, and much of that was due to them being a very solid football team. However, what I saw from our team answered the question that I have had since the season started: How will we respond to adversity? We clearly didn't play our best ball yesterday and our secondary showed it's youthfulness, but when the time came the defense answered the challenge. I'm not saying Alabama will go undeafeated (although I think they have a legit shot), but in my opinion we will repeat as SEC Champions and atleast be in the National Title discussion in December. Again, best of luck to Arkansas on the rest of the year You guys have a quality ball club.

I pretty my agree with you. Our guys had to grow up and they certainly did.

Bama does have a shot at playing for a title, but showed that they are beatable. Should be interesting as the season goes on

Me either. One or two losses this season(the second possibly coming from tOSU in the BCSNCG )


Note: I said possibly.

I would be surprised if Bama goes undefeated this year. If it does.......

I still think our offense can score a lot of points, especially when McElroy makes the correct read and throws on time. Our weakness is defending a high powered aerial attack, but besides Arkansas, who else has a passing game like that in the SEC?

Bama has a legit chance to run the table again.

This was the last offense you will see that likes to throw the ball all over the field.

LSU certainly, up to this point, has not shown the ability to do that.

AU relies too much on the feet of Newton.

Florida, well, who knows about them?

South Carolina, showed if you shut down their running game, Spurrier is unsure what he wants to do on offense.

Nobody, we faced the best passing attack in the SEC yesterday and we passed the test.

Alabama had to block a field goal to beat UT last year and had to put a game winning drive together to beat Auburn. Every team that plays for NC has games like this one and wins them. The teams that are watching at home usually lose in those situations.
