For the second week in a row Alabama faced a bad SEC team and demonstrated how much on a different level they are. On a day where most of the SEC proved how possibly mediocre they are Alabama showed they are still an elite team. The Arkansas…
Alabama destroyed Kentucky and while some will point to their abysmal track record of late, It’s games like this that used to sidetrack Alabama under Shula. Additionally Kentucky gave South Carolina more than they wanted just the week before. Several things to note in this game. While the press is…
