This is painful but I don't expect us to win this week-end and I really expect it too not even be close. I love BAMA as much as anyone on here but due to BC/Rh being out of the picture my outlook for the first half is this:
CMS will not take chances by passing as he learned his lesson from the sc game and it hurt us to pass. If we throw it at all it will be something very short, quick and safe. I don't expect to see any passes but 1 the entire first half. What I do expect is a field position game and us running it on every down trying to wear down their defense and it will happen but it won't happen until later in the second half. By then and it kills me to say, it will be too late much like last years games we will try very hard and give it our best but won't be able to dig out of the hole we created in the first half. Not by choice or lack of effort but they will key on the running game and we will still move the ball but not enough to just drive it down their throats to score maybe two field goals is what I see.
On the ucheat side I see us doing great things on defense and pressuring their young qb but, they will be able to pass and make a couple of big plays via the pass. I can see it being 17-6 at halftime and while you might say thats not much look again we don't have the qb presence to turn the TIDE and make the come back. I know I will get blasted for this post and be called a barner or not a true TIDE fan but if you really just look deep into the picture of reality I am not saying anything that isn't true.
The players will give it their all and they will fight their hearts out as they do every week but eventually their offense will get a big break or help from the officiating to score on one drive no doubt. I promise you we go into obknoxiousville down by 7-10 points from the ref's alone. I won't be in the shed this week-end as I expect to get beat and I really won't be throwing anything around. I know me saying I expect to get beat is bad but I expected the REDSOX too get beat also. I do not wanna say anything positive for the TIDE and hopefully that will work. Fianla outcome is not pretty : BAMA= 13 ucheat=31
