Let’s talk Bama-Texas
Kickoff is less than 20 minutes away and I’m picking Alabama to beat Texas 24-13. An Alabama victory would give the SEC it’s fourth straight national championship.
I’ll share a few thoughts as the game unfolds. I’ll be interested to read your take on the game .
Let’s start here. I just don’t think Texas is going to be able to block Alabama’s defensive front well enough to give quarterback Colt McCoy any room to operate. Am I wrong?

It is going to be interesting to see what the Texas OC dials up. If he can not run their hurry up it is done.
Love to know what is going on in the locker room. Colt is a gamer and will be out playing if possible and the Docs let him.

Could be still be a TD lead at half time. It can still be a game.
Love to know the procedure Dad maybe consulted if Colt wants to play despite possible further injury.

I assume that you are implying that Alabama is paying dirty ball and intentionally injured Texas’ QB. I call BS on you,

Saban can play conservatively now because he knows Texas can’t move the ball.

Not sure about that Tony, Saban has been known to go for the jugular when he sees the chance.

Short punt. Alabama has ball at Texas 29. This could be the knockout punch.

Alabama field goal gives Tide 17-6 lead with only 29 seconds left. Alabama is wearing down the Texas defense. Look for Bama to just grind it in the second half.
