What is wrong with Alabama?

[Halph66]

Besides the obvious.

Most agree that Alabama is the standard that all teams should compare themselves to.

Many on hear say that Tennessee is not very good.

I present exhibit A:

Fresno State: 216 yds. Passing & 71 yds. Rushing - 10 pts. / 287 yds. total
Alabama: 192 yds. Passing & 305 yds. Rushing - 41 pts. / 497 yds. total

Indiana State: 93 yds. Passing & 136 yds. Rushing - 7 pts. / 229 yds. total
Tennessee: 235 yds. Passing & 172 yds. Rushing - 42 pts. / 407 yds. total *Tennessee had a 91 yd. kick off return that isn't in the total.

Let's not forget that Fresno State would destroy Indiana State.

Sorry to apply reason and logic. This will cause a melt down.

Would you drive a truck with 4 flat tires or one with 4 brand new tires?

THEY BOTH HAVE TIRES!!!!1ONE!11!:crazy:

As far as I can tell the onlychink in their armor is the deep ball.

Fresno state is a FBS school that plays the power 5 tough

Indiana state is a terrible FCS school that will be lucky to win 4 games at the 1-aa level. We should have won 80-0

I'm sorry but has Butch Jones won 5 national championships like Saban?

 

[Halph66]

Let's not forget that Fresno State would destroy Indiana State.

The same way that Alabama did?

 

[therealitytheory]

Fresno State is a D1 school. Indiana State is a FCS school. FSU has it all over ISU wrt budget, scholarships, facilities, budget (again) etc etc

OP just call Finebaum and get the answer you really want

Yep, we should have kept them scoreless, intercepted the ball every time it was thrown and allowed negative yards rushing.

By this same logic Alabama should have destroyed Fresno State. It should have been 160-0.

Alabama did destroy Fresno State

Was this the first football game you watched?

I'll bet you justify last years Vandy loss with Saban lost to Monroe in his first year, dont you?

I'm sorry but does anyone else find it troubling that we opened as 8 point underdogs to a bad Florida team in a coaches 5th year?

 

[therealitytheory]

Or look at it this way:

Bama 41 - Fresno St 10 Sept 2017 @ Tuscaloosa

Bama 49 - Tenn 10 Oct 2016 @ Knoxville

I'd say Fresno St stacks up with UT a lot better than ISU does, fwiw.

 

[BeardedVol]

8th in defense nationally, and 3rd in the conference. Saban probably is getting on them about not being higher.

gotta feeling its going to be worse than 49-10 this year

We haven't played Florida yet. We were not favored last year, but we won. Don't confuse the fact that Vegas is trying to make money, not with how bad a team is. They are trying to get you to bet your hard earned money.

I'll save judgement on how bad we are compared to Florida until after the game. We've won the first to games against the first two opponents on our schedule, plain and simple.

 

[maxorange]

one game where Alabama still romped is hardly a large sample size
couple it with Bama's easy win against FSU and I'm sure their fans aren't fidgeting much

there isn't much "logic and reason" in pointing to one game against Fresno State

If your point is that Tennessee/Indiana St shouldn't amount to much consideration, I'd agree there too.

You got dat right!
