Below block quote is from todayâs RollBamaRoll column. It echoes somebodyâs 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 . . . âIrene, good night, good night Ireeene, good night.â Still and all, weâre 1-7-1 vs yâall and I want to get that evened up before I croak, and Iâm not getting any younger. Hereâs thevRBR stuff:
This is what concerns me about facing Sarkâs offense. Iâm fairly confident the defense will affect Ewers all game; and that Bijan Robinson can be bottled up, but Alabamaâs kryptonite has been backs and tight ends in space. Kirby couldnât scheme against it; Baldy couldnât; Tosh was busy eating crayons on the sidelines; Scruffy McPartypants canât 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. Letâs cover those guys, please?
