Game By Game - The University of Alabama 2008 Football Season (Part 1 of 3)
By Drew Lambert
The University of Alabama was coming off a great spring and summer. The number #1 Recruiting class in the nation was coming to Alabama and Nick Saban was ready to win some games. Throw out last years record of 7-6. Throw out losing to ULM. Throw out losing to Auburn 6 times in a row. Throw out not winning in the 4th Quarter. This was a new, improved, determined, young team, eager to win. Eager to make their mark. Eager to show the SEC, show the Nation, that the University of Alabama is here to stay. They are going to show everyone by being physical, here to lay a beat down on any Offensive Lineman or Defensive Lineman that is in there way. Watch out.
No better way to open your season then with a Top Ten team in the nation. Every Sportscaster from here to the Canada had there input. Most saying that this was a huge game for Clemson. That this was the time that they were going to win on a “Big” game. Something that Tommy Bowden has massive problems with. Some counted Alabama out, others sat on the fence, swaying from one side to the other. Saying that Nick needed one more year, or saying that it only took him 2 years with LSU. Saying that a young team will crumble under the pressure. That freshman cant play right off the bat and expect success. Even Vegas gave Clemson the win with a 4.5 point spread of the game. But Alabama had something better up there sleeves. Alabama was set to show the nation that they are THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.
