I really would put AU as a 10-13 point favorite over bama in week 1.


In Tuscaloosa? I don't know about that.

I know we don't really want the Iron Bowl week one.

I'm just damn excited

Yeah, even in Tuscaloosa. Bama hasn't exactly been world beaters in Tuscaloosa.

But 90% of the reason is the difference in starting points this year for each team. I really think AU wants to get the bad taste of how last year ended out. And with almost our entire offense returning, we should be in midseason form on the offensive side of the ball early on.

Bama is the opposite and will be tougher later on when their Oline and Coker get more experience.

So I really think if it was week 1 Bamas offense would struglle, make mistakes, turn the ball over and give AU some short fields and yeah, AU would jump all over bama with a quickness and go up by several scores if it was week 1.

AU was probably 25 points better as a team in week 12 vs week 1 last year. Hell, maybe more.
