Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin isn’t anxious about how quarterback Kyle Allen will bounce back after each of his three interceptions were returned for touchdowns in a loss to Alabama.

Before you put down a buck with an off-shore online betting joint, talk to anybody who loaded up on Mike Gundy, the favorite to take over at Florida a year ago.

“If we win, I don’t care if it’s ugly”, he said after a mistake-free, 19-for-25 afternoon.
Afterward Sumlin didn’t blame the loss on his quarterbacks. The two teams have played 60 times. You can’t line up and move the football on Alabama the traditional way but you can when you spread them out and force them to play on their heels.

Alabama 41, Texas A&M 23. This was a very close game and Alabama proved once again that they have the will and guts to step up after having a less than spectacular first half. Swagcopters and #YESSIRs are enough to keep most fan bases happy. That’s what we need with this big game coming up.
Halfway through the season, ugly is good.
It’s been said the SEC football season is like a double-elimination tournament – you can lose one and hope for the best, but when the second shoe drops, start looking for late December hotel rooms in Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville and beyond.
