I am amazed at the extent to which Alabama is being underestimated!! This is a team that has lost 6 games in 4 and half years!!
Alabama will be playing a team Saturday that is going to be overmatched in every faucet of the game. State beat Tennessee at home 41-31 and Alabama went on the road to Knoxville in the rowdy Neyland Stadium and embarrassed the Vols 44-13!! Also State almost blew a 23-7 half time lead to a below average TROY. State would go on the win 30-24. Then State only beat UK by 27-14 where as Arkansas beat UK 49-7. Come off it already!?!?
Alabama has beat every opponent it has faced by a margin of 19+ (Ole Miss 19), after Ole Miss, it had defeated every opponent by 27 (Michigan) after that EVERY OPPONENT BY 31+ points!!!
State may not win another game after Saturday. They have A&M, @ LSU, ARK, & @ Ole Miss all after the Bama game!!
AJ McCarron has thrown for 1476 yards and 16 TDS with 0 ints. He has a completion % of 68.8. Bama has 6 different receivers with 2 or more TD. The RB's are avg. 5.3 yards a carry.
The Defense needs no commentary. Alabama is outscoring their opponents 229-58 this season. The Defense is only allowing 8.29 points per game! The Alabama Offense is averaging 32.7 points per game.
Alabama has not played in Bryant-Denny Stadium in 5 weeks!! With a fan base like Alabama has, that is a lifetime!! And this game is at night!! Alabama gets up for the LIGHTS, and Saban loves the PRIME TIME Coverage!! If you don't think this TEAM will be ready for a Miss. St. team that is luckily 7-0 then you are very very very naïve.
I know some of you have never had the privilege of experiencing Bryant Denny Stadium, so let me just tell you it’s LOUD and CRAZY!! Over 102,000 fans that HATE LOSING MORE THAN TEY LIKE WINNING!! Every time the chains mover Saturday your going to ROLL TIDE and it’s going to be a lot!! This Miss. St. team hasn’t played in an environment like it will Saturday all season and will not see it again till they go to Death Valley in 2 weeks.
I only am telling you guys this because I don’t want you to let States record and Hype confuse your judgment. Believe me when I tell you The Tide will cover!! Saban is going to control this game for the coin flip!!
I went to the Michigan game in Dallas and told the Michigan fans, that were telling me Robinson was going to run all over us, that YALL WONT LAST 60 MINUTES!! THEY DIDN’T AND THEIR FANS DIDN’T EITHER!!
60 minutes is along time to be in the ring with the toughest team in the land. Bama loves being in the trenches!!
Good luck if you’ve already played State. ROLL TIDE if you haven’t!
