5-0, 41-30

I thought Alabama could win. I said Alabama WOULD win. I just didn’t think it was going to be that dominant.

31-0 at half. Bama didn’t have to punt until the 3rd quarter. Never trailed in the game. Haven’t trailed all season.

After the offensive line pushed Georgia down the field to score 7, the defense did their thing. The front 7 kept Moreno in neutral. Yes, there were some pass plays down the field but the trade off was worth it.

Concerns?
Focus…3rd quarter looked awful. I don’t think they had any yards. Saban will chew their tails out for giving up 30 points in the second half, a punt return TD and a blocked punt. He’ll make them watch the 3rd quarter over again.

The Tide rolled.

    This is why I’m an engineer and not a sports analyst ;-) –so my prediction was off. Bama really showed up (especially in the first half), I have to give that to them. GA looked like a freaking Division II team in the 1st half (what I saw of it) though.

    i couldn’t believe it either. i was like you grant. i thought they had a decent chance but i was not expecting this at all. i can’t wait for lsu and auburn. it will be fun to have the right to smack talk them again.

    ROLL TIDE!

    Like you said, G, great first half, ridiculously lousy 3rd quarter, but did finish strong in the 4th - something they had trouble doing last year.

    See the polls?

    OU-1
    Alabama-2
    LSU-3
    Missouri-4
    Texas-5
