Holy Toledo, check the first half stats.
....................VT...LSU
Rushing yds..23....171
Passing yds..17....156
Total yds.......40....327
VT did not cross the 50 yard line.

Now, I'm not arguing that this Alabama team is LSU 2007, but dang, talk about getting exposed on a national stage.

Do you think they can run the ball any better on us than LSU '07? I don't think so, and if you can't run the ball, you've got problems.

If Bama leads 13-0 after 3 quarters good luck on coming back in the 4th! The only team to do that last year was UF and it took Superman going something like 7-7 in the fourth quarter. I'll take the odds that VT is not as good as the Gators, Tyrod is not as good as Tebow, and that that the Bama D is going to be even better this year!

Alabama - 23

[Get 15]

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

41-6

GMAC: 16-20 300+ Yds. 3 TDs. 0 Ints.
JULIO: 7 Rec. 160 Yds. 2 TDs.
MAZE: 4 Rec. 120 Yds. 1 TD
INGRAM: 15 Carries 135 Yds. 2 TDs.

There special teams will block and extra point but not much else.

Can you imagine Saban letting that happen after all the "FINISH" talk of last year? Nah, me neithher...

Three field goals by Leigh Tiffin, a Ingram TD and a TD for Julio. Two field goals by Vt and no TD's

BAMA 23

[12ROLL12TIDE12]

BAMA - 27
VT - 16

I think our D stands firm after being put in less than favorable field position a few times in the game (INT/Special Teams Return). Close at the half, Bama manages the game late for a win.

:BigA:ROLL TIDE!!!:BigA:

I am deep in VT country and they don't seem to take football as seriously here...hardly any talk on the radio and very little in the papers or on sports during the news....although there was a nice big write up about Bama a couple of days ago.


Lemme give my prediction:

Bama 35
VT 17

This looks like a solid prediction, score-wise I mean. I'm taking Bama, too, but I mention your post Cat cause I've noticed the "experts" have the over/under at 38 points.

So, 38 points for the over/under - thoughts?

I would say under, IMO. Scores like 28-10, 24-14, and 21-17 come to mind along this line of reasoning.

Or maybe 31-7! That would be a real suprise. I expect this to be closer. Not much closer, though - I stand by my prediction of 30-13 (with a late, ground-eating, time consuming drive by Bama). Not at all a blowout, but never truly in doubt.

I went to Wal-mart today and not one person was wearing anything Va Tech, and like you said, Richmond is the heart of Va Tech country. But we both know how apathetic this area is to sports as well, allowing the Braves to move to Gwinnett, losing the Renegades, it goes on and on.

I came here to post the question, what are the VT fans predictions? do they foresee a blowout by VT or a real close nail biter? Since most Virginians don't take their football very seriously there is no point in my asking.

 

[bamaee04]

I think it will be close for the first half, but that we pull away in the second...

Bama-13
Va Tech-10 at the half

Bama-30
Va Tech-13 final

Didn't mean to imply that. Football is taken seriously up here, with the Redskins and the Hokies to a degree. Even the UVA fans got into it when the Cavs were averaging 8-9 wins a year in the early 90s.

Just in comparison to what I see in SEC country, (Tennessee, Alabama for example) its nowhere near the same. Of course you should ask what their predictions and thoughts on the game are.

I see VT scoring a TD, but not by Tyrod Taylor running against our defense-maybe special teams or even a pass. For our VT colleagues, Clemson gained "zero" net yards against our defense last year-yes, that's "0". And they had "Thunder and Lightening".

As for Alabama, we start slowly while the O-line gets its act together and finish stronger...:BigA:

That is a PERFECT example of inexperience at the OLine position during the first game (which Bama is battling this year). you're only as good as your Oline..regardless the talent. As for us Hokies we're talking believe me (in SW VA). You'll see our half of the Dome all Hokies..hopefully that will show how we feel about our team.

I predicted 24-13 BAMA earlier, but very well expect this game to be closer than the final score might indicate. It wouldn't suprise me to see a 24-20 type score also. But the BAMA fan in me is optimistic I guess. :biggrin2::BigA:
