Can Duke stop us with our 1's?

I think we score around 40+ points in the first half.

We'll slow it down and add another 2 or 3 tds in the second.

Wouldn't surprise me if we don't give up a late score or two just to give CNS something to fuss about.

62-10 we rollin!

In a game that will tell us absolutely—and I mean ABSOLUTELY—nothing, but will give valuable reps to the backups:

Bama 69
Duke 10

we are limited at running back depth? first i have heard of that. but i am in the forsaken country of upstate ny
It’s not an emergency by any stretch, but if #27 is limited then we’ve got three backs. Period. I imagine Townsend will get some totes, too. Carries spread across 3-4 RBs is likely fine.

Trey Sanders out long-term and Jerome Ford sprained his ankle, so yes, a bit thinner than one would like.
I agree with Herbie, Robinson is ready for prime time. He will make his mark this year.

I'll say it again. I hope Chadarius shows up and shows out. Yes I'm biased. He's from the smallest school in my county.

Clemson went to Europe while Bama went to work. This game is gonna be a bloodbath and we are going to send a message to the rest of college football. Clemson is going to coast through their season while we are foaming at the mouth waiting to play them again...

52-10 Bama

What he said...plus I'm not sure Duke gets 10 points unless it is against our backups late in the game.

Duke too well coached to get blown out in the first game. Bama 33- Duke 14
If this is the final score I think we have a board melt down on how bad our offense is.

yeah, my 10 points is a field goal at some point and a late td against our backups...maybe a blown coverage and CNS gets a coachable moment.

Bama could score more, but by the end of 3rd quarter Saban will have the 2nd and 3rd stringers in. Sark and offense will practice ball control, and the 3rd stringers on defense will allow a touchdown late in the game.

Duke's QB will not be that great, but will be better than we expect.

I pray that nobody gets injured in the game. That's my main concern vs Duke and New Mexico State. We need everyone healthy for South Carolina at their place (we will win that game but it will be more difficult than the first two games).
