FUCH CINCI

 

[Silverback Gator]

Close for the first half. Bama's overwhelming physical superiority on display late. Cincy's CBs not a factor because Bama keeps their heads spinning with a run/pass balance.

I think this is how it plays out too. I don't think Bama runs away with this game from the beginning to end though. It will be close at times but in the end talent and superior coaching win out. This is far from the best Bama team over the last decade...they have some flat spots....see the UF, Barn and TAMU games...

 

[FireFoley]

The loss of Metchie will hurt Bama, if not today in the next game. This is not the same Bama team at WR as the past 3, 4 or 5 years as they are not 4 or 5 deep at WR.

Bama...but closer than the experts think

Yep, the Fightin' Connie Smiths will keep it close.

True, but there's probably a 5-star, fourth stringer waiting to break out somewhere on bench.

FIFY

 

[SGG]

Bama by 17.

Close until the third quarter and Bama pulls away with a pick 6 or fumble return for a td.

37-20

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Pregame interviews are smoke shows.damn

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Bammer by 21, UGA by 14, and neither will be that close.

 

[CGgater]

cincy d looks too small, getting knocked back when a bamuh player lowers his shoulder. They might not be highly motivated to come outta the locker room after halftime.

Alabama letting these girls hang around

Just thinking the same thing. That and Bryce Young seems off today.

That last throw was awful. I also didn't know there was that many cincy fans. Place is loud.
