Crimsn TiDe: So True
Alabama 26, Middle Tenn. St. 7
The Negatives: We went into the half with a 9-7 lead over MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE. If it is going to take an entire half to get the offense clicking against better opponents, then God help us. The first serious test should be Arkansas (9/24) and their new defense under former Wolfpack Co-Ordinator Reggie Herring. If our D can continue it's dominating play and the Offense can get past the Arkansas defense with a win then there's hope to be found. I doubt there's a better defensive team on the schedule, especially considering the magic Herring worked at NC State.
The Positives: The biggest positive of all has to be Brodie Croyle's continued ability to walk. We have a habit of losing our best against weak teams (Croyle against D-1AA Western Carolina, Hudson at Kentucky) and since the next truly weak spot on the schedule looks like Utah State on 10/9 hopefully the offensive first team can stay intact until then (and hopefully beyond, obviously). Further, save for one drive, Joe Kines again totally dominated the opponent's offense to give the floundering offense a chance to get it's rhythm. Unfortunately, if we are to succeed this year, that's the strategy that must carry us to the promised land.
