What goes up must come down. It’s the law, according to Sir Isaac Newton.

Sir Nick Saban seems determined to break the law, beginning at 2:39 p.m. CDT today when his Alabama football team plays host to Western Kentucky (1-0).

His Crimson Tide launched into orbit in its season opener a week ago against No. 8 Michigan at Arlington, Texas. On its way to a 41-14 victory, Alabama lifted off to a stunning 31-0 lead in the second quarter.

Now will gravity pull the Tide back to Earth?

“It’s a part of human nature to not maybe be all that you can be and focus on what you need to do … and want to take it easier and feel entitled when you have a big win,” Saban said...

Overall
Just like Saban has said on multiple occasions, there's a lot to like about this Western Kentucky team. There's SEC and even some NFL talent at a number of positions. Alabama just has a lot more of it.
Advantage: Alabama  .....

The only thing that bothers me about WK is that they are the game after a big win. Sometimes teams aren't as mentally sharp after a big victory and to me that is the key to this game, Bama has to be mentally prepared.
