By the numbers stats comparison

First half Bama versus Georgia would be tough, but since halftime of that game Bama has struggled. Almost lost that game, lost to VU and Carolina should have beaten them. So its not like Saban's Bama, for whatever reason. and I sure don't know the reasons

They seem to not be as focused with DeBoer. It’s still Saban’s team, may not fit with DeBoer’s personality or coaching? Idk. Just speculation on my part

You could make an argument for either team based on season stats up to this point, at the end of the day none of it matters after that whistle blows. We need to bring our A game. And I believe we will

Their O is more predictable than people think. The Film Guy did a breakdown on Youtube and it really looks like they simplified the O for Milroe. Part of the reason why they struggle is when you bottle up his designed runs, you also bottle up their RB runs too. It makes them one dimensional and causes a lot of drive killers on their end when they drop a pass for example.

Their D is just meh. DL is big but they haven’t really dominated up to this point. DBs are playing poorly. None of their LBs have impressed either.

I anticipate they will play is better than we have seen the last two games but even against UGA it seemed like the UGA O was making mistakes instead of the Bama D dominating them.

They certainly didn’t dance around Saban like they do DeBoer.

Ainge said earlier this week . . . That we cannot expect to win without Nico throwing 1-2 TDs.

I agree with that assessment.

EXPECTING to win and

WINNING are two entirely different things.

"you play to win the game"

Expectations get thrown out the window and adjustments occur

Do your job and the rest takes care of itself.

I heard it on the TV but my buddy there said the same thing. In the lower bowl, it was deafening.

Sorry, just now looking through this thread. I watched the broadcast for the first time last night and heard a number of things (like the ‘dark’ Rocky Top version) that I did not hear in the stadium (Y6). Even a bunch of the head referee’s announcements that I could not hear during the game. Told my wife after the game that I might have to start wearing earplugs so I don’t go totally deaf.

My niece heard it on TV and mentioned it - I was in the upper deck, never heard it at all. Nothing could cut through that noise at times. Kind of glad I am in the upper deck - saves my ears - so I get to make noise but not have to bear the brunt of it.
