. By Jess Nicholas TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief Oct. 19, 2014 During Alabama’s 2009 title run, the Crimson Tide hosted an outmanned, outgunned and thoroughly mediocre Tennessee Volunteer team for what most people expected to be a blowout win. Four quarters later, Alabama had to rely on two blocked field goals from Terrence Cody in order to […]

I do think this one will be close for a while, and if we slip back to our mistakes on the road, it will be close until the end.

I'm really looking forward to finding out if we can maintain the focus, intensity, and looseness that we displayed against A&M.

I do wonder if UT might be a little down emotionally since they've lost some big games this season. A&M was kind of the same way going into Saturday's game as well. Not saying we will win 59-0, but the emotional impact on both teams will be interesting.

Similar to what happened to Arky this past weekend re: the dogs.

Thanks, Jess! Tennessee reminds me a lot of Florida; pretty good D with a not so good offense. The only way this one is close is if we turn the ball over and give them a short field. Otherwise, I can't see them putting up more than two TDs against our defense. I like BAMA to pull away late, 34-10.

Depth & Experience. UT lacks both which is a NO NO against teams from the West. This will be close until they get tired. If AL plays anything like they did Sat. it will get ugly very very quickly. I suspect thought that the nerves will return a bit and UT will be super jacked as will the crowd. Eventually their problems will overwhelm them. 27-10. Could be 35-13 too. Doubt much closer.

Our DL continues to improve. They can get sacks this week. UT's OL has allowed 30 already this season.

Utah State and Arky State each had 2
Oklahoma had 5
UGA had 3
Florida had 6
Chattanooga had 5
Ole Miss had 7

Do that, and Worley's pass game will be horrible.
