Week 2: Texas @ Bama score prediction


Wulaw Horn

Recommended Posts

Have any of the IT guys predicted a Texas victory? Everyone I’ve heard is going with Bama when it comes to giving a final score. 
No. There has been I think 2 Saban disciples that have beat him (Jimbo and Kirby) and those losses were not in Tuscaloosa.

Saban is pretty damn hard to beat at home. However, his team has a lot of flaws. If you jump on them early, they are screwed.

On the flip side, our opponents have a habit of not being screwed when we jump on them early.

The Rice game exposed in painful fashion how little our offense has improved since last year. Ewers is still failing to throw good deep balls. Our receivers still have a dismal drop rate. Our O-line is still struggling with assignments in pass pro. It will come down to a defensive battle, and the team with the better scrambling QB has an advantage in those matchups because they can create off-schedule yards late. There's almost no realistic indicator that Texas is going to walk into Tuscaloosa and win this game.

Still can't convert TDs in the red zone or connect on big plays.

But Jaylen Ford intercepts 3 passes for TDs.

Bert drags his red hairy nuts across Bama's face for the rest.

Texas 33

Bama 28

Bama yardage 347

Kinda close? Except gladly proven wrong in how it happened.

Bunch of pussies on here didn't have the faith. 

I mean- I spent a ton of money- drove most of 24 hours getting there and back and went to the game so I sure as shit had SOME faith. I cleaned up betting Texas every which way, including the money line. I thought we were flat better than then and said so all summer. I coined the phrase Alabraska to describe how we are going to ruin them joining the SEC and in the era of NiL. 
I just lost my nerve when the OL was so bad against Rice. But yeah, this is the squad I thought we had for 9 months.

Alabama: 31
Texas: 27
Bama Yardage: 374 - exact same as last year, a metaphor
Texas comes out looking sharper on offense. They look woefully unprepared against Rice so I have to think there was a heavy focus on Bama prep over the past couple weeks. Sark schemes up some points over the first few possessions, a strong Texas defense more or less keeps a lid on Alabama through the first half, and Texas takes a lead into the locker room. The kool aid is flowing, the game thread is a unabashed circle jerk.
Texas finds itself with a 10-14 point third quarter lead... and Alabama has Texas exactly where they want them. We've all seen this movie before. We cling to hope that this time will be different but it feels the exact same as things start to unwind. The Texas offense stalls as they simply cannot run the ball on Alabama's front and Ewers's play deteriorates when he's asked to make plays off script. Alabama's offense isn't doing anything special but as their snap count mounts they start gashing the Texas defense for chunk yardage with regularity. Texas gets the ball back with 3-4 minutes left but can't execute a go-ahead/game-winning drive.
 

I mentioned this in the game thread, but this was looking spot on through the end of the third quarter… then Texas found another gear, the kind that has eluded them for Sark’s tenure and even going back to the Herman years for some of the guys on the roster.

Really happy for them, and very happy to be wrong.

A last minute safety wins it for the horns due to their dominating Defense.

 

Most likely outcome is actually:

Bama 37

Texas 23 (5 FG’s for Sideshow)

Bama with 370 yards.

The blue print to beat the offense is crystal clear, Texas has a successful opening drive to take the lead, defense stone walls Bama and we are feeling good. Texas O comes out, Bama starts showing false fronts pass protection breaks down Ewers take some brutal hits trying to take deep shots and he starts seeing ghosts. Sailing deep balls throwing, into double coverage no push from the line and the Texas offense stalls out. Defense is able to get two takeaways from Milroe in Bama territory but we only get 6 points of them. It’s 10-14 going into the half but the defense gets worn out in the second half and Bama pulls away.

17-31 Alabama

Alabama came into DKR last year with some hubris and expected to roll the Horns. I expect they’ll be more focused in Tuscaloosa with something to prove, and their power running game will wear us down in the 4th.

Ultimately, their roster is still significantly stronger than ours… I was watching their game vs Middle Tennessee, and let’s just say that I didn’t see any Jett Bush or Michael Taeffes on the field.

Night game on road, 1 score loss.

RPO game eats up Gbenda and Texas lack of LB depth rears its head.

Am 100% rooting for a Texas win but need to see proof of continued 2H adjustments and the ability to move to what's working intra-game vs the 1 game Rice sample.

After this one, Sark starts feeling extreme heat on the quarterback front.

I went to the NC game and to last years game, I hope the third game I attend between these schools is the charm so I am not willing to jinx it with a win prediction.

Nailed it!

Good job guys!

No worries, I feel like I actually helped the team win by picking against them! 

But Lord man... that's a shit ton of work for a little internet flexing! 😉

Not going to quote the post but i am thrilled i was wrong. Never thought the D would play like this. So good. So happy. Glad to eat crow. 

I was close enough on the Bama score and yards.

Thought we would struggle more on offense with the running game slowed down.  Ewers was fire.

I don’t get any love for this? 90% of SEC fans were cheering for Texas. I was close.

Duke beats Clemson.  Texas State crushes the Baylor.  Wyo sticks it to Tech.  Colorado steps on TCU.  Certainly, we can take down little ol' Alabama.  It's not like they are some kind untouchable football program we are supposed to bow down to.  Sark slaps a wig on Quinn and he gets his mojo back.  We win.

TEXAS 30

ALABAMA 28   355 yards

I think this guy deserves an honorable mention.  I mean it's close, especially if we are talking about horseshoes or hand grenades.  

TEXAS FIGHT!
