Is this the best chance we have had to beat Alabama since 2008?
Obviously the 2014 and 2018 were better teams than this year's team, but so were Saban's teams, and both of those games were on the road.
I'm not saying we should win, I'm just thinking that they are not what we have been used to seeing as far as talent. I don't think Young handles pressure well. Their play calling was bizarre this past weekend.
If we can simply not turn the ball over, don't we have a puncher's chance?

No. I do think we play them closer than the sharks did

Good question. Id say our best chance since 2014 for sure. Because this is probably their weakest team in years. But they will have to screw a lot for us to win this year.....give up a special teams TD, Busted coverages, turnover, etc.
However, I believe we were on much more equal footing in 2014 than this year. I think we may have been a little better than them in 2014....we were just to tight to start the game in 2014.

17 was our best chance. At home and they had lost half their defensive starters. We had all the momentum and Mullen clammed up inside the RZ with a chance to go up 10.

Yep 17 by a mile. Bama got some calls and we let them out of a hole many times. Bama had no business winning that game that year.
We were better in 14 but Dan chocked.
This is one of Bama's most beatable teams. We are not as good as I'd like but we got a punchers chance. Leach needs to throw a few wrinkles.

To be fair Dak didn't play well either

IMO...17 was YUGE....Mullen gonna Mullen. But 14 was also VERY winnable....but Mullen the first 3 quarters ?Mullened?. But JOEMO?s first year the defense held Bama to half of their scoring average. It was so impressive Clemson saw and used same scheme to beat them in national championship according to a national article. But not to whine, people talk about LSU officiating but I?ve watched many many years......way more bad, game changing calls in Bama games.

2014 was the best chance. That wasn't a very good bama team by their standards. Unfortunately, dak had a really bad game

Dak had a bad first half. Don't throw one of those int and score and we win. He brought us back in the 2nd.

I may be in the minority here, but I feel like we are Fixen to get blasted by a pissed off Saban and Bama… I wish I felt different, but that’s just me right now…

despite my confidence in our players and coaches right now, pissed off Satan gives me a worry.

We're going to definitely have to weather an early storm. They're going to come out pissed off and try to throw as many haymakers as possible as fast as possible. However, if we can keep it close long enough that doubt and worry will start to set in.

Oh, they gonna come out pissed off but we gotta punch them in the mouth first. We score first or our defense rattles Young for a pick or huge sack and memberberries start going off in some player's minds. This Bama team does not take well to adversity on the road.

If CL can keep this from happening, and can look formidable against a blood in the eyes Bama/Saban team.....he will make some believers.....JMHO unfortunately I’m in the 34 camp.......

^^ This. Our odds would have been much better if they hadn't lost to TA&M. Saban has their full attention this week.

What was their excuse for almost Losing to a slightly above average Florida team? They are what they are and you guys just keep looking at the logo on their helmet. They have looked pretty ordinary in their last 2 road games against opponents that aren’t anything special in this conference. It’s time to consider that maybe they just aren’t as good as they were supposed to be and no amount of Saban throwing bitch fits is going to make them any better.
