Great article. Loved the emphasis to the tension between the position breakdowns (which we dominate) and the fact that TOSU is talented enough to do what they did against Clemson and to give us similar fits.

I LOVE the pick...makes me feel a little more confident.

I hope it's that easy. Think it all depends on how healthy Fields is.
GMac this week said that by the time they play, Fields will ne "numbed up," and won't be feeling any pain.
The problem will be that this week at practice, a QB with broken ribs will be uncomfortable and that will throw off timing with receivers.
I've never played QB at Alabama (at least that I remember), so I'd have to take his word for it.

The difference - GMac had almost a month off before his game and threw almost no passes in practices during that time (per him). So, yeah, the pass game was really rusty. With only 10 days off I doubt that the OSU pass game will be effected much.

I’ve read a lot of your posts on this board. I can’t stand OSU, they’re right up there with TN, but not quite on the AU/UGA level, but I have to say you are a joy to have on this board. You’re insightful. Good luck, I think. 🤔

Would have never thought Jess would have picked a 17 point Bama win here...but I saw it, so he must have. Lol

I think of it as a compliment when you compare the opponent to yourself. Did I miss something?:unsure:
I agree B1GTide. It was meant as a compliment. Both teams are perennial powers of their conference, have won multiple national championships, and have had historic coaches. There are many significant similarities.
