After having watched this match-up for nearly 40 years.....you've hit the nail on the head. It won't be that Alabama won't sustain any penalties. They will. However, they'll not be drive ending penalties or touchdown sacrificing penalties. UT? I expect a "hold" on a play by Small for 20 yards from scrimmage. I also expect an Alabama 3rd and 12 (which goes for nothing) to be converted due to a downfield holding call on UT. Do you see how this works? Alabama penalties - yes. Game changing penalties against Alabama - well it hasn't happened in 40 years.
