I think we should have Hood mark Germie Bernard the whole game. He's their most dangerous pass threat and Williams isn't 100% right now
Blitz like crazy and our DL get their hands up if they don't get home
Stay out of zone defense except maybe on first down to play the run. Simpson is good at finding holes in the zone

Agreed. The problem for us will be Horton and Brooks who have both become very good players. Horton is always targeted in the red zone. Bernard has the best hands. I would shift Hood from Bernard to Horton in red zone. Honestly, we better get pressure, or we have no chance of stopping them in the pass game. If we had our starting db's, we would be a match-up nightmare for them. But we don't. Which means we will need to keep Simpson in the pocket, have DT's bat balls at line, and tackle well. If we do not do those things, we will give up 35+ points and need a huge game from our RB's.

This could be a weird game where we attempt to run and control the clock to keep their offense off the field. That would be a second half adjustment I would make if they are effective in the pass game.

Also, I didnt say this as just being a homer trying to will it into existence.

Look at our schedules, look at each game both teams have played.

Ones to highlight are Syracuse and FSU. Syracuse was a whole lot better with Angeli than they got credit for and FSU turns out to be green baby doo. Not to mention Mizzou and Andy giving them a tough game. "Oh, but Mizzou and Vandy are not bad teams". . . snap out of it! It's mizzou and Vandy! They are not elite teams. They shouldn't be able to walk onto the same field as a BCR team like Bama! We'd beat Mizzou or Vandy by 3 scores!

Alabama has gotten better, but so have we. Aguilar was a baby in this system, he's just now getting to where he should be. Simpson is getting more comfortable, but Aguilar is a better QB in a better system, with better coaches, a better OL, and potentially the best starting WR room in the country.

Talk about defense. Not a whole lot to say other than our defense is not at all what some of you think it is. They have put us in a position to win every single game, despite multiple turnovers and short field gifts.

Tennessee should win this game by 8+. Vegas has the spread backwards and the media is trying to put everybody and their momma on Bama. Did vegas lose their ass in a big way in the past few weeks at some point? Looks like they're trying to recover from a big hit they took. Even if we give them 3 for refs and 3 for home field, we should still win by a fg+.

Eat Sh*t and Die Alabama.

wait, so are they now saying Jam Miller will be back?? I thought he was under concussion protocol? You can't bring someone back in 7 days from that...

Sure.

HBCUs were created because black citizens who wanted an education were very frequently barred from universities and colleges because of laws mandating strict segregation, particularly in the South. Segregated schools of the type in the post you originally quoted were created for the purpose of keeping black citizens out. HBCUs were created for the purpose of allowing black citizens to receive an education, not to keep white citizens out.

So yeah, that's the big one.

In the end, one has mostly black students and one has mostly white students. Their origin doesn't really matter at this point. People make the choice where to attend now. If we're gonna punish for things that happened in the past, then we should start with what happened at Penn State and shut the place down

Oof. Bringing back your star RB a week after a concussion? That’s just effing stupid lol. They must think they really need their run game but 7 days is not long enough especially a position where he is likely to see the majority of contact.

If it were Bishop, I'd want him back. . . but I'd be pissed the coaches allow him to play just 7 days after a concussion, given what we now know about CTE and brain trauma.

Calling it now, Tennessee puts a legal hard hit on him, he has to leave the game and doesn’t return. Headlines “Tennessee knocks star Bama RB out of game with questionable hit”

Let’s be honest…the only woes we have really had on offense is when we went conservative to run clock. Other than penalties that get us behind the chains or a turnover, has anyone really slowed us down any? That’s why I keep saying I wish Heupel would just run the offense the entire game and quit going conservative.

He did that vs Syracuse too and let them start creeping back in. We should be 100% all gas and no brakes.

He may end up playing, but it seems like one of those things where he is a "game time decision" and ends up not playing.

What you got out for this weekend? I was out of the country the last 2 weeks and got destroyed by the book. Gotta lock back in this week lol

Right now I only have Purdue +3.5. A little timid this week. A couple weeks ago I got wreckt and last week was at the beach with no betting access.

Bear Fallica and his crew are on Vols +8.5 though 😈😈

I’ll be listening to Powers and Knish this afternoon and see if they can sway me. I do like UGA ML if I can get a good number live or in a 2 leg parlay

Things that intrigue me:
Duke ML
Utah state -4 or ML
Louisville if I can get +14
SMU looks tempting
JMU as a home dog is nice

What you thinking?

I don't remember what I was looking for but last night I discoverd that Scott Stricklin, Florida's AD, went to Jackson Preparatory School as a youth which is famous as a segregation academy.

I had never even heard of a segregation academy before.

"At the time of its founding, a local member of the White Citizen's Council remarked that schools like Jackson Prep were established because the "educational results of such forced interracial congregation are disastrous for children of both the white and black races"."

"As of 1986, Jackson Prep had never enrolled a black student."

Black students can technically enroll there now, but Black parents say they don't want to send their Black kids to a segregation school.

"As of 2014, Jackson Prep's student body remained over 97 percent white."

That's a major yikes!

I was one of the kids sent to predominantly black schools. Early '70s. The kids next door went to Prep. They had money, we didn't.

I wouldn't say it was disastrous, but it certainly presented challenges. It was an interesting time to live in Jackson.
