...up and help us win the game the next week?

It’s hard to argue against the fact Auburn was affected having an injured K Johnson. Does Alabama and Clemson’s physical style of play help us, considering there may be some injuries or will it even matter?

No more than us and Oklahoma will beat each other up.

It's the playoffs dude. Everybody's in the same boat.

Completely agree. But I hope Bama and Clemson beat the shite out of each other.

I know both of us want to win the title so we obviously want the easiest opponent possible in the event we make the championship game, but each of the 4 teams left have shown the ability to overcome injuries to a certain degree.

Y'all lost Eason, we lost 38 linebackers, etc.

With a title on the line it will come down to coaching as it always does.

IF we beat OU it will be a rout. If we lose to them it will be a grind and they’ll go into the natty beat up.

I do see us as a physical team but Oklahoma? I’m not so sure. I could see us beating up on their skill players.

It just feels like the Bama/Clem game will be more of a physical grind.

I agree with you when it comes to our offense against their defense, but our defense should hold their own against their offense.

Alabama hasn't suffered many injuries on the offensive side of the ball this year. It's been catastrophic on the defensive side though. The Clemson rushing attack is mediocre at best so I think the toll will be minimal for us if we win.

What’s the outlook regarding your injured LBs?

The only one who will miss the game is the same one who missed the playoffs last year, Shaun Dion Hamilton.

The bad thing is he is the smartest LB we have and is a pretty damn good player to boot. If he hadn't missed the championship game last year I think we'd be going for a 3 peat. Well, he and Eddie Jackson.

Hootie Jones is out too, but he played terribly against Auburn and we think his replacement will be an upgrade.

He tore his Patella during the LSU game.

He tore his ACL in the SEC Championship Game last year.

He's a senior too so I really hate it for him. He's a great kid.

I didn’t realize he was a senior. That’s tough.

I've always liked Georgia. My wife's family is from Savannah so they are huge UGA fans.

It also helps that we only play once or twice a decade and y'all can beat Tennessee and Auburn every year.

He probably means the patellar ligament/tendon. Then again, you may have already known that and were just being a wise-arse...
