Ho-Hum affair over the Owls...
Alabama started fast and then turned on the cruise control button for a 40-7 win over Florida Atlantic. I know that every non-conference game can't be a Michigan game. It is a tribute to Alabama fans that over 101,000 showed up for a scrimmage. Or maybe it's just great marketing. Nah, people love their Tide and are happy to show it.
Eddie Lacy rushed for over 100 yards. A.J. McCarron had a great game. Kenny Bell made us think number 7 was his 0-100 speed. The defense finally gave up a touchdown on a late FAU drive that had two fourth down conversions and Nick Saban up close and person on the playing field. Up until that forth quarter drive I'm not sure that the Owls even had any positive yardage. It's hard to keep up with such things when you are dozing off. I kept thinking how good Ole Miss might be in relation to the Owls.
It's hard to believe that Alabama was actually fired up for this game. Never mind, there were some good individual performances.Cade Foster nailed another field goal from Northport. Cyrus Jones gave us a sneak peak of his considerable upside. Dee Hart showed why he had five stars comng out of high school. This kid has got to get more playing time. Kenyan Drake is just a super running back. He'll play a key role in the future for the Tide. T.J. Yeldon is smoother than a satin sheet. Alabama's offensive line is simply the big red crush machine.
It was one of those sunny warm fall days inside the stadium. Alabama fans settled in for a certain victory. A smell of bourban wafted across the field from the student section. Nick Saban look appropriately worried. The pre-game coverage made sure that the head coach and players said all the right things. The coin was flipped. FAU played the role of sacrificial lamb well enough to win an Emmy. Mal Moore delievered a rather large check to the officials from Florida. Alabama fans went back to the quad or exited the stadium and turned left headed to bars on the strip.
As the game concluded serious Alabama fans weren't sure whether to pull for LSU or Auburn. The general concensus among the Tide faithful is that Zach the Quarterback was pretty oridinary and that Auburn played very hard, but had a beating heart jerked from their orange and blue chest for a very painful loss. Ha-ha. Couldn't happen to a worse bunch. s Auburn better or is LSU overrated? The second most argued topic was whether LSU or Auburn had to most punks on the field. I'll go with LSU on natural talent alone. They tried to physically intimidate the Tigers. It didn't work. In the end the Tigers ran out of defensive gas proving that emotion has short shelf life. But those were topics about mere mortal programs. All in all it was just another Crimson afternoon in Tuscaloosa. Not a bad place to be.
