By Jess Nicholas TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief Sept. 7, 2016 If teams do indeed make their biggest improvement from the first to the second game, Alabama’s defense might want to call for reinforcements this week.

Aren't the Hill Toppers the team we played a couple years ago that were constantly trying to take our players out of the game with the way they were tackling? If so then maybe they need a lesson. I was hoping we would never play that team again.

I believe that was Western Carolina.

I do expect this game to be far more frustrating than Bama fans would typically expect. This is a good team, and it's unreasonable to expect Alabama to be as intense as they were vs. USC. Human nature and all that. If we do come out and destroy these guys, it might end up being a very special year indeed.

"It won’t be a surprise if Alabama sputters around for a half of football trying to remember that it’s no longer watching the Trojans crawl off the field the way they crawled onto it."

Wondering if anyone else was the least bit concerned about this game other than me. Not really concerned that Alabama will win; more concerned about how the team responds to last week and how they treat this week. Will they even be interested in WKU? I think I listen to Coach Saban way too much. ;)
