Mississippi State home dogs vs. Alabama
The Alabama Crimson Tide are riding high after taking down rival LSU this past weekend.
If Alabama does struggle against the Bulldogs, it wouldn’t be the first time in recent memory that an opponent has knocked off the Crimson Tide following a win over the Bengal Tigers. That’s a matchup he’s going to win every time and it gives Alabama the first touchdown of the game. As a result, he ran for a season-low 31 yards on 19 carries.
Later when asked about the offensive line’s issues blocking the Alabama front, Miles sent his message. And Saban’s postgame smiles will be replaced by the scowl that’s more familiar to fans watching games on TV. This team’s pretty good, and there’s no reason to think why they won’t run the table and end up topping Florida in the SEC Championship in Atlanta. The Crimson Tide did not let Fournette get anything all night. Tigers will be 12-0 headed on their way to Charlotte, but might North Carolina (who can clinch the Coastal with a win over Miami (Fla.) next week) be the spoiler in the ACC Championship after they and their better-than-we-thought offense hung 66 on Duke? After all, the ‘Pokes draw both Baylor and Oklahoma at home, where they’re averaging 528.2 yards and a net of 2 turnovers per game. “We have a great relationship”, Diggs said. “I mean, it’s everybody”. He can throw a handsome deep ball, but he needs to work on short game passing.
“Any time you have an emotional win, you’ve got to get your team to respond the right way and make sure that they’re focused on what they need to do to play just as well the next week or better”, Saban said. However it’s been De’Runnya Wilson who has made the biggest plays, catching 8 touchdowns and totaling 613 yards receiving. However, Henry is a beast at 6 foot 3 inches tall and 245 pounds. Jake Coker was 18 of 24 for 184 yards.
The Tide can turn at any moment, and if I were to lean in any direction it would likely be to consider the OVER. I like the team that I’ve got. Alabama marched down the field in a matter of two minutes and got a field goal.
If you are sitting here, asking yourself, “When will LSU stop shooting itself in the foot on special teams?”. “I know being somewhat close to his hometown was important to him and his mom”.
So when will LSU beat Bama again?
If Navy is in the mix, the committee would announce the pairing for one of the New Year’s Six bowls – either the Fiesta or Peach – and one participant in the other New Year’s Six bowl, holding the other spot in that game for the Group of Five rep.
The Bulldogs have two X-factors in this game. “I’d like to tell you that there were well blocked holes”, Miles said. When they do that – and economics (or in simple words, the urge for more wealth) will dictate they will – that should be the cap.
UPSET WATCH: Kentucky’s recent slide may help explain why it’s a three-point underdog at Vanderbilt, but the Wildcats have looked like the stronger team for most of the season. It really doesn’t do me any good.
“It might not seem quite as big as last year’s game, but could have very similar implications”, Mullen said. Fournette’s frustration was visible as the Tigers’ rushing attack failed to generate anything substantial.
Next up for LSU is a home game Saturday against the Arkansas Razorbacks who are coming off an overtime win in Oxford against the Ole Miss Rebels.
