Title: Tide Buzz: No. 3 Alabama (8-1) at Mississippi State (5-4) Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on November 12, 2011, 07:21:27 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/11/tide_buzz_no_3_alabama_8-1_at.html
Quote Three things to look for: > 1. Style points. Domination is always Alabama's goal, but running up the score isn't coach Nick Saban's style. No coach or player has talked about the need for style points, but wouldn't a blowout help this team make a case for a rematch with LSU? > 2. Left tackle. Barrett Jones (sprained ankle) might miss the game, which would mean Alfred McCullough would move from right guard -- where he has started the past two games -- to left tackle. Anthony Steen would return to right guard, where he started the first seven games before suffering a concussion. Will the Tide's running game lean left or right tonight? > 3. Johnthan Banks. Mississippi State's star CB is tied for fifth in the nation in interceptions (five). Tide QB AJ McCarron might want to find No. 13 and throw the other way. |
