Love him or hate him, Nick Saban has done an extremely impressive job getting his Crimson Tide team ready for success in only his 2nd year. We all knew the Tide would be back to it’s prestigious roots sooner or later, but did anyone think it would be this soon? They went into Athens and completely sucked the momentum from the black-out right from the start. The big hog-mollies up front (Andre Smith anchors the unit at 6’5 340) paved the way for Glen Coffey and Mark Ingram to run through enormous holes to find paydirt, creating a 31-0 lead at halftime. Lets not forget the Crimson Tide D which limited Knowshon Moreno to only 34 yards and repeatedly harassing Stafford into awkward and astray passes. Julio Jones sure does look the part of being a tremendous talent in the coming years for the Tide. Alabama certainly looks like a title contender after these impressive butt-kicking’s against Clemson and now Georgia. I believe the downside for the Crimson Tide is the rugged and daunting schedule ahead in the SEC on the road to a possible national title game.
Stunner in the Swamp
Houston Nutt took a talented, but raw Rebel team into Gainesville and pulled off a giant shocker over the Gators. Texas-transfer Jevan Snead passed for 2 TD’s and ran for another to spur an explosive Ole Miss offense. Tebow and company just never seemed to get into a rhythm on offense, especially Chris Rainey and the running game which was nowhere to be seen. I really hope Ed Orgeron is smiling right now, knowing that he helped out in this victory—Orgeron was the previous coach and has a renown respect as an excellent recruiter throughout the country, only to see that his players he got are now the same players Houston Nutt is winning with and turning this program around with.
So now What?
