re: Bye Week Before Bama

After the UT game last year it was needed more than I ever saw. It was the most physical game I'd seen in a few years. Hurd was getting yards but my goodness did we pound on him. Same with Henry. Both were willing themselves through that game as were both fronts who were playing to a standoff. We had one more drop in the tank but After the game was over both teams were gassed. May have been the slowest meeting at midfield I ever saw. Emotions were spent too as nobody sat during that game and the players play that game on emotion. I'm not sure had we turned around around and played anybody the next week how effective we would have been.
