Independence Bowl Predictions

[dave12]

How will Joe Kines do as temporary head coach in the Independence bowl against Oklahoma State?
Will he do a better job than Shula would?

Kines will turn Rader loose.

Since OSU averages 35.3 ppg and Bama averages 22.1, I'll say that's the score.

OSU 35.3
Bama 22.1

Poke 'Em!

Tide - 35

i really have no clue, but my gut says our guys will play their best game this year. of course, thats not saying too much :biggrin2:

 

[bamabake]

I hope I am wrong, but I just do not believe their hearts will be in it and there is too much uncertainty for the assistant coaches.

OSU - 31
Bama - 24

That is nuts. Kines by now has already gotten the team loose and is likley working their tails off at the same time. The Tide will be fired up for four quarters and will win big IMO. Kines is not only a good coach but a leader and a motivator. We will have a great plan and I expect to see Radar open it up. Shula isnt calling the plays in this game.

The game will be close throughout with the Cowboys icing it with a late TD for the final margin.

I think everyone on the Bama side of the ball will be busting it to prove that they were not the reason for a dismal 6-6 year. The Tide will look like a powerhouse trying to prove a point! Tide will win 31-13!!!!!!!:biggrin2:

 

[SimCastilleFan3]

I see it close in the beginning and in the 4th we pull away. JPW will have his best game in the bowl game.

Bama- 31

OSU- 17

 

[BamaBraz]

Bama by 30.

I really feel like Bama will throw 40 points on the board. It'll be the most wide open offense you have seen at Alabama in years. Why? Because that's what the fans have been asking for and Kines and Rader have nothing to lose.
Also watch for the defense to be extremely aggressive, alot of man to man and blitzing.
Just my opinion, but that's seems like Kines' style.

I'm just looking forward to seeing Darby slip down only 4 more times.

Face it, this Tide team is a basket case that finds a way to lose even when it outplays the opposition. See the Barn game for the latest example. See Arkansas and Tennessee for other examples.

Plus, the team is distracted by the coaching change, and Kines et al are busy looking for other jobs themselves.

Don't have any predictions on how the game will be played. But I am looking forward to it. Good luck Bama fans.

17-10 Osu

I look for this to be a fun game for Bama. What do they have to loose?

I won't predict a score, but I think CDR will try to show out with one of the best up and coming QBs in the nation. If Brown is healthy, I'd be surprised if JPW has less than 300 yards passing. :BigA:

Alabama wins 38-21. ROLL TIDE!!!
