Playing at Duke in 2010 was a BIG mistake. Caused the SC game to be the third road game in four weeks. How did that work out? Bama looked like they had been on the road for four weeks.
Caused the LSU game to be the fifth road game in seven games. How did that work out? Bama looked like they had been on the road for seven games.
Hindsight is 20-20 you say. True, but I foresaw the above as soon as the 2010 schedule was released and was calling for Duke to be bought out and a cupcake scheduled in Tuscaloosa to give the team a break from the road. None of you agreed with me then, and few, if any, will agree with me now. But facts are facts, and Bama lost the two games in which I feared they would struggle.
