I know it is hard to move away from the AM game, but it is the start of another week. We get Western Carolina at home. I just looked, and they give up some points, and they have only 1 win this year. I figure this game will be over early enough to where we get our starters out and rested for the barn. Our team will be mad so this may get ugly. I will be a little conservative as I think we won't do anything crazy on Saturday. I figure we run a lot, obviously.

I wish I shared everyone's optimism and score predictions. I know this is WC but I feel a huge let down PLUS the early kickoff we struggle. Bama will win…
Bama- 28

No offense, but I think you're having some serious knee-jerk reactions to the struggle vs BCS #7 LSU and loss to BCS #8 Texas A&M.

Western Carolina has only played one other FBS school (4-6 Marshall), whom they lost to 24-52. Of their 9 other games (all FCS opponents), they've only won one and lost 8. In those 9 FCS games, the average score has been 25.9-38.7. They've only allowed less than 38 pts twice - against Mars Hill (14) and against Samford (25). Without those two games, WCU is averaging 24.3-45.1.

And somehow, they're going to hold us to 28pts?

Complete beatdown, with our twos and threes giving up a late fourth quarter score.

I believe we will see our team get back to the basics against WC (to include re-emphasizing the rushing attack) and this will simply wear down the opponent. Likely will result in a huge score disparity.

I'm predicting Drake gets 15+ carries. Yep, that kinda game.

Some folks need to realize we're still Bama. Even Bama loses from time to time. This should be easy and it's one of the few games I actually get to attend.

Hope this doesn't qualify as coach-bashing, but suppose we're up around 28-0 in the second quarter, my thoughts are that second stringers start blending in before the second half - quarterback(s) included.

no kidding. my 8 year old has really only seen alabama lose two games in his life (don't think he remembers the 2010 season) and he cannot fathom alabama losing. i had to talk him off the ledge on saturday night because to him it was like the world was ending. sometimes a loss every once in a while isn't a bad thing and can add some perspective to life.
