Tua will cut through that swiss cheese defense l7u has, and clear out the fake death valley by the 1st. quarter.

You do know that Bama is 21-5-1 in Baton Rouge in the last 58 years. And 3 of the 5 losses were when Bama had greatly reduced scholarhips 12-18 years ago. Though many of the wins were close, it's one of the more remarkable records in all of sports.

LSU has a very good secondary, probably the best Bama will face all year, and a very good DC. So, they could cause some issues, though it's hard to envision them doing anything more than slowing down the Bama offense. But I have a hard time seeing how LSU will move the ball very much.

Better watch out. Those small Louisiana schools are hard to cover. Ask LSU.

Florida State wasn’t ranked on the Top 5 last season either then. Yalls win over them didn’t effect rankings ..

The only way Alabama doesn't cover is if they score fewer than 54.

You understand, this is an additional condemnation of your schedule. Right? You get that?

10 of its 12 regular season opponents went to bowl games

Not saying that UA isn't great this year, but using bowl appearance as a benchmark does not help your case. Most schools can fall out of bed and get a bowl appearance.

That's just ridiculous. Not because Bama couldn't do it fairly easily, but because history has shown that Saban is a lot less interested in running up the score than in giving his 2s and 3s their time on the field. He takes his foot off the gas fairly early in blowouts compared to lots of coaches.



What is ridiculous is that some Bama fans will give the points, and when Jalen comes in, they will blame him for not scoring, when his job to run clock. I mean in the Bama thread, some were blaming Jalen who actually completed all 3 of his passes, and not themselves for giving so many points.

I’m surprised that they’re even putting odds on this.

does Bama play anybody with a pulse this year?


At half time opposing teams are usually declared dead. For clarification that means no pulse.
