Alabama hasn’t had a game this close since they played Florida last year in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

Well, that was a tale of two halves. The Auburn Tigers led Alabama State 20-0 at halftime. That may sound pretty good unless you actually watched the game. The Tiger offense managed only one touchdown in the first two quarters against the visiting Hornets today, even though Auburn has significantly bigger and better players across […]

Call it distracting, call it overlooking a team, or be Nick Saban and simply call it “rat poison.” Whatever you want to call it, Alabama will have their Saturday win over Mercer completed by the end of quarter one.

It was clear from the very beginning that Auburn would not have much trouble in their season opener against the Akron Zips. The Tigers did whatever they wanted on offense, scoring on every possession that the first team was in the ball game. Similarly, the defense didn’t allow the visitors into Auburn territory until they […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide are starting off yet another season with a huge week one win. Any questions that anyone had before the game are now answered.
