When Bama walks out for the coin toss:

I'm going to the game, I think it is the first time I have ever gone to a game when both teams are ranked. A friend and his family could not go this weekend, so they gave us the tickets.

 

[ROCKEE]

RTR!
I’ll be there.

I'm starting to feel like Vanderbilt is overrated. To me their ceiling is the old Ole Miss and Texas A&M teams that gave Alabama fits, but I'm not sure they're even there yet (if I recall correctly those teams also lost revenge games against Alabama).

I'd compare them to Indiana last year. They dominated a lot of weak competition, but when they stepped on the field with elite teams they just didn't have the athletes to compete.

To me the real question is just if Alabama plays to their potential or not. If Alabama does, Vanderbilt has no chance in my opinion. Last year Alabama had the equivalent of 3 turnovers to 0 for Vanderbilt, they had more penalties, they had the ball less than half the time Vanderbilt did, and Vanderbilt converted over 4 times as many third downs. Not to mention it was on the road and Vanderbilt was coming off a bye. It was still a one score game!

So, if Alabama is out of position, if they miss a lot of tackles, if Wommack doesn't do a good job this game, then yes Alabama can lose. But if Alabama shows up for this game well prepared? I know what the outcome will be in that scenario.

My fear (defensively) is Wommack will get out coached on top of our lack of discipline. This is why I hope our offensive is "on" because with Vandy's type of offense I don't have much confidence in Wommack winning the battle of schematics. I hope the offense is on and puts up 40+.

Let's Roll, Tide!

You can bank on this. Wommack cant scheme a run defense to save his life.

We will need to execute at a very high level on offense mostly because Vandy will play efficient ball control offense based on running limiting our possessions.

I think that is why Pavia is so confident and essentially telegraphing what they will do.

This game is really on Wommack's shoulders...
