🏈 Will Bama start game...Hot or Cold?

[BamaMastiff44]

The Texas game we came out Cold almost frozen it seemed...
The Florida(SECC Tebow) and LSU game we came out Hot too On Fire.
Would like too know how you all feel?!

We will come out fresh.

We had better come out hot, because the irish will be probably be playing out of their minds in the first quarter...

First drive ends in a field goal. I just hope we don't get the ball first, would rather have it to start the 2nd half.

classic bama... start out cold and lame... finish strong

Long layoff, gonna be interesting to see how both teams respond.

 

[BamaMastiff44]

I keep having the same "Cold & Lame " Gut Feeling as well. Not a good outcome if so...
Some teams seem too always come out on fire Especially Big Games...Bama seems to be the opposite. Could anyone shed some light on this topic please. Really, what is that X Factor and How do some teams always have it and some teams do not?

It would seem that our players' mindset is usually one of 'not making mistakes', partly due to being the correct way and partly due to not wanting to disappoint CNS. That being said, I can 't imagine us coming out flat in a Championship game.

I'm a 'run first' guy, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some early deep passing to try and score early.
If these early and long attempts fail, I think Alabama clams up a bit and has a slow first half overall on offense.
If we connect early on some long TD's or score a couple of times first with regular drives, we'll have a nice lead and that bodes well for our style of play the rest of the game, i.e. get back to running the ball and the clock.


If we come out and three and out on offense to start the game, I'm going to soil my drawers.
Wifey hates when I do that.inkbiggrin:

Is this an indication?...Points in the 1st quarter, last 5 BCS NC games.

2011 - 3 points (Bama scored) = Alabama/LSU
2010 - 0 points = Oregon/Auburn
2009 - 6 points (Texas scored) = Texas/Alabama
2008 - 0 points = Florida/Oklahoma
2007 - 13 points (Ohio State 10, LSU 3) = LSU/Ohio State
