Below block quote is from today’s RollBamaRoll column. It echoes somebody’s take from above. I agree.
Look, I have seen every Bama-Texas game since 3-3 in the first Bluebonnet Bowl. This betting spread is Alice in Woderland bullshit, designed for a group circle jerk when Bama fails to cover or loses straight up. One last thing: watch for false starts and delays of game by my guys. If >5 in first half . . . “Irene, good night, good night Ireeene, good night.” Still and all, we’re 1-7-1 vs y’all and I want to get that evened up before I croak, and I’m not getting any younger. Here’s thevRBR stuff:
This is what concerns me about facing Sark’s offense. I’m fairly confident the defense will affect Ewers all game; and that Bijan Robinson can be bottled up, but Alabama’s kryptonite has been backs and tight ends in space. Kirby couldn’t scheme against it; Baldy couldn’t; Tosh was busy eating crayons on the sidelines; Scruffy McPartypants can’t defend it either.
Alabama practically kept Dan Mullen employed over the last decade with its inability to defends tight ends and backs in the passing game. I still have nightmares of Kyle Pitts, Josh Robinson, and Kadarius Toney loping in our secondary like the freest of gazelle on the African savanna. And, really, who can forget that charming two-game swing against Mizzou and A&M in 2020, where Alabama helped get two tight ends drafted.
So, uh yeah. Let’s cover those guys, please?
