re: What are the chances Alabama loses 3 games or more this year?

I've been on the record on this board calling the Alabama Arkansas game to go down as a loss for Bama in Fayetteville. That much is certain, and it will, in fact, happen. So there is one loss.

This game, however, the USC game, is going to be a great game. I can't wait to watch it. I think there is a good chance Alabama loses this one as well.

I don't give a fu(k about Lane Kiffin. This first game is a problem for Alabama because you guys will be facing a stout offense and are going in with a new defensive coordinator. And I don't care that he "knows the system." It doesn't make much difference. It's still the D coordinator's job to put guys into position to make plays. He still has to call the right plays. And there is ALWAYS an adjustment period.

Now I think that Alabama will field a great defense this year, but I would be shocked if USC doesn't score a LOT of points against Bama (by Bama standards) in game one.

The biggest question will be whether or not the Bama offense can keep up. You guys had better hope that Frosh QB is ace. Alabama could EASILY lose this first game...and the Arkansas game.

If Alabama gets to three loses this year, the third loss will be to Texas A&M or Ole Miss.
