If Bama can win this game it will send out a strong signal that Bama is way ahead of the curve. Bama is one year removed from the year the sanctions hit the hardest, still short on talent and depth but already competitive with top SEC teams (we were actually competitive the last 2 years but didn't have the intensity, depth and execution to pull out the W).
Regardless if we win Saturday, the recruits can see that within a couple years Bama will be like a runaway train on the gridiron. A win will just be icing on the cake and make things a lot sweeter!
