I don’t think there is much difference between the two.

I bet even the third string QB is excellent. The main difference would probably be that he has not had the experience.

OUs bad defense gave the ball back to their offense quickly (by giving up points quickly. I suspect the tide’s defense is going to cause a few OU possessions to come up empty.

Alabama v Georgia was a truly great game and broadcast.

ESPN harbors hate for the very successful and Alabama and Saban are far too successful for many anti-football scribes. If I were him I’d win the national title this year and bail while he’s on top.

Put it this way, If Tia get’s hurt, Alabama can recover, Murray, not a chance. Injuries will be huge for OU because of their lack of depth this year.

he growth and development of Jalen Hurts were put on full display and ultimately led to the comeback

Quite an exaggeration since they were only down by 7 and only half a quarter left in the game.

Tua played 3 1/2 quarters and scored 21 points on the severely sprained ankle. He deserves the start but they will likely give it to Hurts since it may be his last game at Alabama

More importantly, how much does Saban get paid to place the bottle of coke on the podium at his post game press conferences?

Vegas odds says Saban cries. I've got five on it.

Bama needs to make a late season trade for Justin Fields. Maybe a couple of offensive linesmen?

Answer: they will play with a different qb. I know I’m going out on a limb but that is about all one can predict with any certainty.

I just want Clemson to crush Notre Dame so bad that Notre Dame will never be seriously considered for the FBS playoffs again.

If Tua gets injured in the Hula/Orange bowl, I think the only solution is to DANCE.
