🏈 Alabama vs Auburn: Talking Big Meets Playing Big—or attempts to?

[CRIMSONTUSKS.COM BLOG]

By Terry Pellman
I could sum this up with one sentence.

"It's been a month of some interesting talking points with little to back them up."*

Well...on one end.

There's one more exception, Ben Tate. His proclamation that "he thinks he's the best back in the state" is probably true.

You can't say ...

As I've told audio a few times...I wonder if I'll actually be bored around halftime tomorrow and flip channels to see what's going on with Nebraska and Colorado only to be even more bored and switch back.

I can take certain elements of this game and put them aside and still don't see them winning. Simply don't see it.

OH, and let me say this now for all you "worry-worts" to remember.

Auburn won't be any better next year.

Good stuff Terry. I agree with that score. I've been picking between 30-6 and 38-10 this week. Your focus was on their defense, but in SEC play, their offense has not been the spectacular scoring machine that the stat sheet might lead one to believe. Chris Todd's stats against non-conference teams are impressive, but against SEC foes, they are much, MUCH, more average. Tate has still picked up his yards in those games, but they have not faced a defense of UA's caliber. This game, IMO, will follow a script similar to the MSU game a couple weeks back...

I could deal with that.

However, since I'm not "culturally biased against one team" I'll take the first half—defensively—against Ole Miss.

But, then again, the first half against Arkansas with Mallett... :headscratch:

Nah, I liked seeing Snead get hit on every pass play in Oxford. Here's to a "Todd in the sod" day in Jordan-Hare.
