That would be 4 scores (TD & 3 FGs), so that would be tiresome. No real threat, though.I am puzzled. He says Fitzgerald will be an issue, yet he only has them scoring 16? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh - didn’t hear that.Saban said in his PC that focus was an issue. Hopefully they can get their focus before Saturday afternoon.

I wouldn’t doubt that Saban has them focused real good........ he isn’t going to sit back and let them lollygag around with so much at stakeSaban said in his PC that focus was an issue. Hopefully they can get their focus before Saturday afternoon.

I think going back to the entire Coach Saban era, and Bama has had problems (physical and mental) against MSU when it comes the week after LSU, physically beaten up and emotionally drained.Saban said in his PC that focus was an issue. Hopefully they can get their focus before Saturday afternoon.
In 2014 MSU came in #1 in the nation so you can't really say that was a hangover game. MSU scored on the next to last play of the game to make it a one score game.I think going back to the entire Coach Saban era, and Bama has had problems (physical and mental) against MSU when it comes the week after LSU, physically beaten up and emotionally drained.
Hope this is the exception. (Hangover games in blue)

That's a fair point. Thanks.In 2014 MSU came in #1 in the nation so you can't really say that was a hangover game. MSU scored on the next to last play of the game to make it a one score game.
I hope so. Hopefully the energy will be there after a month away from BDS.Saban said the focus was lot better as the week went along. I expect the game to be over by early 3rd quarter.
I think it will be there.I hope so. Hopefully the energy will be there after a month away from BDS.
Alabama's offensive line has taken a big step forward ever since Deonte Brown was inserted at left guard. But that unit will face stiff tests against State and Auburn.One of the things I haven’t seen a lot of talk about is the matchup of Bama’s WR’s and MSU’s DB’s. If Tua has anytime they are going to torch them. The TE matchup is also very favorable with their LB’s. I think this is being undervalued. The OL has given ample time all year, and I don’t expect that to be a lot different this game either. I know MSU has a really good DL, but this is one of the best pass protection OL’s in the nation. MSU hasn’t played a line the caliber of Bama especially with the change at guard. That seems to have solidified the line. I see WR runnning wild Saturday. Ruggs is playing and Smith should be almost totally ready. Waddle and Jeudy are GONNA EAT!!!
