OK, did I pull a "Rip Van Winkle?!?!?"

Seriously. Did I got to sleep on Sunday night, wake up, and today is actually Thursday or Friday? :rofl:

Thanks for getting this done so quickly Darren!!!

NOW...

53 points? :shock:

Can't say I buy that, at all.

I've yet to come up with my "thoughts" on this one other than I want the starters out early. Just due to that, I can see less points on our end.

What is the official "line" on this game?

Whatever it is, Bama covers it. The only way we don't is if Saban and his coaches call some rediculous play coverages and formations to throw our own guys off and force them to work harder during the week before Auburn. In other words, tear us down a bit to build us back up.

Otherwise, everyone in the stadium is going to score or make a tackle. I plan on doing both. I'm bringing my own uniform.

The reason for the score prediction as large as it is, is that Bama could start Star and Trent, along with second teamers on the OL, and score 50. UTC throws the ball a LOT...which is going to lead to a lot of three and outs and turnovers. The clock stops on incompletions. Bama will get a lot of possessions this Saturday and the UTC defense is severely outgunned. As a result, Bama will score a lot of points...more than most expect.

I see what you are thinking. But, I still have a hard time with the score...lord knows, I hope you're right.

Saban could use this week to work on passing game and different facets of the offense, resulting in a lower score...but I don't think it matters.

We will not score less than 40.

We could break 70 - by accident.

I think we get in the 60 range.
