Poll - chance that State covers - 20.5

[Coach34]

Are you saying Bama's D is better than LSU?

No. I'm saying we will score late on them just as we did on LSU and get to 17. Only got to 13 on LSU

POLL: Chance that State covers the 20.5... 6%

Ummm, about as good as Fred Smoot in the Finals of the National Quiet Game imo.

[Homedawg]

Alabama after a loss since 2008:
2008 L 31-17 vs. Utah
2010 W 23-10 vs. Ole Miss
2010 W 30-10 vs. MSU
2010 W 49-7 vs. fakeMSU
2011 W 24-7 @ MSU
2012 W 49-0 vs. Western Carolina
2013 L 45-31 vs. OU
2014 W 14-13 @ Arkansas
2015 W 34-0 vs. ULM
2017 W 24-6 vs Clemson

All that to say they've never PLAYED a JOMO COACHED TEAM the week after a loss since Saban has been in charge there. (didn't count 2007 as they had 6 losses and didn't want to skew what actual Saban teams look like by adding 4 more losses after a loss.)

Why is our line down to 17.5?

Why is our line down to 17.5?

Bama's defense is the most trash it's been under Saban.
Injuries galore there. Something 4 or 5 true freshmen starting on defense.
Even our WRs can cook DB Surtain
Their QB is a gametime decision
Bama always plays like trash in Starkville (for their standard)
It's an 11am kickoff

But no one here wants to take into account the numerous problems bama has. It's JoMo is trash and Stevens is scared.

Here's some thoughts on us:
The game is at home.
Stevens is healthy.
Bama defense is scaring nobody right now. (well maybe ark) I honestly don't know if they are a defense "with a pulse"
And this is a great opportunity for Joe. Pull off this 0% chance or at least field an offense capable of competing and he can silence some critics and buy another year with the injury excuse.

But no one wants anyone to look at why it could possibility go right. Most here have quit. I said after aTm he had to win our to get me back on board. 1 down. 4 to go. I'm gonna enjoy the rare instance bama is floundering and maybe we have a bad coach put it together for one game against a top 5 team at home at 11 am for the Veterans Day game a la Peter Sirmon 2016 vs. aTm.

Correct.
And, any team who plays 5-6 true freshman(not red shirts) on D, sometimes at the SAME TIME, in the SEC is not going to be great.

I'd take their true freshmen on defense with their coaching staff vs our upperclassmen under Moorhead any day. They're gonna bend us over. Y'all need to stop

[shannondawg]

Let me preface this by saying I don't watch shit head Finebaum, but in turning on my tv the sec channel was on from the night before.

He was saying maybe that Saban's treatment of asst coaches may have come to haunt him and he has not been able to get a good coordinators lately. After that I don't know what the call in necks had to say as I changed channels.

[cheewgumm]

This game is a matter of motivation. Rarely do we play BAmA when they are motivated. That will be different on Saturday as they need to score a lot and beat us badly:

I?d consider it a win for Moorhead if he keeps it within 21.

Wouldn't matter who our coach was this weekend. Our defense is a shell of itself with guys banged up and the tutorgate players not playing. Those WRs are going to have a field day and would regardless of who is coaching.

[Madisonmd]

We will cover

He asked why the line was moving down and I gave the reasons. People outside of here are looking more than surface deep. Moorhead is up against a wall and this is his last real shot to get off of it and silence a bunch of critics this year. He got off the wall for Auburn and for aTm last year. Not saying he will, not saying we should win. Simply stating the other side of the argument to "Moorhead sucks / we're too injured."
