A win Saturday over Georgia can do wonders for this team, hopefully that will happen.

Ok, I'll bite.  See how this turns out.

I contend that everyone knows Alabama is awesome and he should be doing better and winning more.

A win against UGa certainly won't hurt their confidence. They need something good to happen to turn the corner and put themselves in contention for making the dance. To this point, that looks pretty bleak, even with the win over Vandy.

I'm a huge fan of the Tide, but my brain & gut tell me winning at Georgia is probably beyond our reach. This team just can not finish. Hope to be proven wrong, I will be watching the game.

Winning on the road in SEC has always been hard for Alabama. I know UGA beat a good Mizzou team on the road Wednesday but I think that was a fluke. I don't think it will be easy but I expect to beat UGA today.

I hope you're right, but to be honest, I'd be surprised if it happened. Still pulling for them, though.

Why do you think they will lose?

We just aren't playing with confidence, for one thing, and we aren't even playing that great at home, much less on the road. I know that Georgia isn't a top tier SEC team, but they may have gotten that shot of confidence that we need with their win against Mizzou.

What also could happen is that the trip and OT win against Mizzou took something out of them, and we take advantage of that.

I'm hoping for the latter, but fear the former.

We have played far better teams than UGA to the last minute this year. We just need to finish. CAG teams have struggled in non conference play most years but get things turned around once SEC play starts. This is not a must win game for us but it is a road game we can and should win. I think we will.

2 things need to happen for Bama to win: We don't get hammered down low again and we need to finish. We haven't performed well, or at consistently, so far this season, in these areas.
