Hmmm... Honestly...

Allowing more rushing yards than we are gaining is like crossing the beams in Ghostbusters.

Bad things happen when you do that!

I don’t think Ty will let us overlook USCe. He knows what’s at stake.

That's a great point. We have a QB who doesn't appear overly confident at times, only to jump over his own skis and try something dumb. Bryce Young could pull it off. Milroe was about 50% on dumb risk: he'd win some, lose some. I have so much confidence in the decision making at QB this season that no one seems unbeatable to me.

However, at Columbia, SC, we'll need to navigate the crazy noise, the night time heeby jeebies that other teams get playing there. This game is full of risk for Alabama. Win it, hardly anyone notices. Lose it, it wrecks the season. We have no margin for error.

South Carolina will be healthier along the OL than they were vs LSU and Sellers is a QB who is hard to take down. Beating us would make their season at this point. The game is on the road. Definitely feels like a trap game.

However, they aren't an amazing rushing offense which has given us the most issues. I think there is a good shot we have a very frustrating first half. Maybe a very frustrating 3 quarters. But I think with our offense we should still be able to close this one out in the 4th.
