Tide Fans -
Powerful...just powerful! I love winning like that, especially with 2 defensive touchdowns, and 2 long runs. Old school hard nosed Alabama football!!!!! The Tide could do no wrong on Saturday against the little pigs of Arkansas, and I know all of you enjoyed every second of it just as I did. It was beautiful, and we made it look easy. No nerve wracking tight sphincter win this week, just a good 'ol Alabama butt kicking! I could get used to games like this...unfortunately we are going to have to get over this one quick and get focused on what could be our biggest test this season.
I said before the Arkansas game that if we could run the ball early - it would be over, and that is exactly what we did. Coffee and Ingram were just punishing - damn I love those guys! I wanted to just chest bump both of them after their runs!! The pole results from last week on this blog had Ingram heavily favored as the best Alabama running back, but after this week I bet it would be even with him and Coffee. Hell, Upchurch kicked some tail too - we are just loaded at running back!!
I am very excited about this win, and about next weekend. What a HUGE game!! The Dawgs and The Tide both undefeated - ESPN will be falling all over themselves this week promoting this game (as they should). Georgia is good...Georgia is very good, but I think Alabama is better. We will have to play at least as good as this past week if not better to come out with a win. JP was good on Saturday, but he will need his best game yet. He is still missing some throws that he needs to be making and that concerns me a bit. We can run, but we will have to have solid passing against Georgia to be successful. I know we can beat them, we just need to stay in our rhythm and take care of the ball.
Players I love from this week:
- Glenn "I'll have some more" Coffee!!!!
- Mark "I'm a true freshman and kicking ass" Ingram
- Javier "I can do everything" Arenas
- The entire secondary - I think they all got a pick!
Things we need to fix so I can sleep better:
- Just work on JP a little to fix that little knack he has to throw the ball behind the receiver (or over his head)
Tip of the Week:
- Love The Tide...but please don't get carried away and start yelling Nat'l Championship yet!! We have a long way to go!
I am soo fired up about playing Georgia - it is going to be tough to concentrate at work thinking about this game. Saban needs to get his boys focused and have a great week of practice for this Monster of a game! I have a feeling Saban has already discussed being focused with the team, and the he is no longer "pleased and happy" with the Arkansas win. This week we will really find out how far we have come, and win or lose I have a feeling this is going to be a great game. I have swagger right now....conservative swagger...but swagger none the less. Let's go over to Athens and put a beat down on the dogs!!!! Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!
