aTm scored 19 points on your 10th best defense in the nation. Bama only scored 2 more.

It's not unreasonable to think aTm has a much better than 10% chance of upsetting Bama... at least not on those grounds.

They scored one of those TD's at the end of game. Not saying it was a garbage TD but it was against a prevent D.

This time they're on the road. I think that makes a big difference to an offense. Crowd noise affects communication. Can put you in bad down and distance situations.

I think Bama's offense will have its way with our defense and I see our offense struggling at the LOS. Speed and size were the difference in both the LSU and Florida games. I think our turnovers in the LSU game did not happen in a vacuum--their defense put a lot of pressure on our offense. Clearly Bama's defense can do the same.

That said, as young as our offense is, every game gives exponentially in terms of experience. Realistically we should get our asses beat in all phases of the game. (Anyone know of a college-aged kicker with strong grades who can kick???) But we all know that there are days where everything clicks for a weaker team while the stronger team struggles with rhythm, turnovers,etc. I think it would take one of those days for us to win, but we do have the tools for that to happen.

Conclusion: We need a miracle but you never know.
