Way Too Early 2013 Bama predictions

RollBamaRoll90 · May 14, 2013

Ok, so looking at the schedule I must admit the second game worries me a little bit. Not looking past the Hokies but A&M on the road could present some problems. Other than that who else on our schedule is a formidable opponent? As always please excuse me if this has already been discussed on this board somewhere.

I still believe we beat everyone by double digits.

I'll admit I was surprised not at A&M's offensive ability but in the past they've tended to fold like a cheap suit in the fourth quarter. Sumlin dealt with that issue well.

Having said that, I still think we lost to A&M due to AJ's rib injury and not being fully prepared for their fast paced style after having played a physical knock down drag out with LSU the week before.

Bama is and always has been a better road team than home team. I wish we were better at protecting "our house" so the game that worries me the most is LSU at home. Traditionally we've won in Baton Rouge at an unheard of rate but are about 50-50 at home.

Each year I think this is the year Bama kicks a and takes names in every game, leaving no ifs, ands, nor buts as to which team is the best. 2009 came close, but then there was that ut thingy that left just a hint of doubt.

Even the simple expedient of continuing to run the ball instead of passing would have changed the result of last year's Alabama/TA&M game.

I like the predictions. I think the T.A&M game will be somewhat closer than you predict; otherwise, I endorse the scores/outcomes.

Yeah, even Danielson couldn't figure out why we weren't running more since the A&M coaches admitted to him before the game that their DL was thin.

CajunCrimson · May 14, 2013

We beat A&M by 24 ------ NOBODY beats Saban twice in a row......

If Manziel finishes the game -- that will be a "moral" win for A&M

capnfrog · May 14, 2013

The game I'm most worried about is LSU. Miss. st. might be a trap game to watch out for since it follows LSU.

MBA_99 · May 14, 2013

I'm thrilled we don't follow TAMU with some tough opponent - that could be a terrible trap game after two weeks prepping and all.

Only LSU concerns me. I think they'll be worse but I thought that last year as well. I agree LSU's chances are much better in BDS than in Red Stick. Last time is etched in our memories. The time before that we needed Julio to bust loose as PP was cramping. Going to be a fun game, but I think we win it.

Then if we play Florida in Atlanta, that's a potential secondary worry. If we play USC it isn't.
The title game will be a cake walk vs. OSU for some SEC team.

I'm entirely too lazy to figure it out but I think most of your scores are too low in order for AJ to win the Heisman and TJ to win the Doak with those stats. I think our offense is going to put up a lot more points in some of these games tahn you think. I also think the defense will probably give up more than what you are predicting in a few of these games. But I like the overall outcomes :smile:

Every year it seems MSU is pointed out as a potential trap game and every year we seem to crush them completely. I'll wait and see them put on a decent performance against us before I give them a second of pause before counting it as a W.

RammerJammer91 · May 15, 2013

How does everyone feel about our corners? I really like the depth at Safety, but I'm not quite sure how the corners will perform early, particularly against a team like A&M that has a really good QB and multiple capable receivers.

rolltideallday · May 15, 2013

Yeah when they can beat a team better than Tennessee I will give them a look. Plus, they play at South Carolina and at A@M in the two weeks before us. I think they'll be worn out by the time we arrive in Starkville.

I can't get too excited about UF's passing game but any team coached by Steve Spurrier has my full attention when it comes to flingin it around a little.
