If Saunders is not 100% this week, SC is in trouble. I expect Alabama to win comfortably, but this may end up being a sho-nuff beatdown.
The SC fans on Cockytalk who are discounting the loss of Batchelor are delusional. The SC coaches started him for a reason - he was the best they had. As I said in the Trickle Down, their OL is a concern...and that concern just got worse. SC may have to burn a shirt...going from a redshirt junior to a soph backed up by a true frosh...not good against a defensive front like Alabama's.
SC's ONLY hope is that we come into this game overconfident and lazy. If that happens we could get beat...but a trademark of Saban coached teams is playing with consistency.
My prediction is becoming more conservative...I am not changing it...I mean the reality is worse than what I predicted.
