The next three weeks will be incredibly challenging. I hope our players stay focused and don't become complacent. Two years ago in Starkville was one of the worst losses I can remember. That 100 yard INT for touchdown was awful. Anthony Dixon also ran all over our defense. Of course Bama is a totally different team right now IMO. Will we get out of Starkvegas and Auburn with wins ? Our mettle will be tested. Championship teams overcome adversity. These next three weeks will really tell us what we have.

I agree it will be very tough. But we all said that the LSU game would show us what Alabama is made of. I think they are a tough, hard-nosed team that will remain focused these final three games.
Miss State will be very tough and is a classic let down spot for Bama...Being mentally prepared will be key this week and since that is Saban's specialty I feel confident but worried at the same time...
I agree. Do you realize that Alabama hasn't had back-to-back undefeated seasons since 1973/74? They are making history this year, and winning out will be tough.

If we get some good play from the QB then we can win out and play for all the marbles. MSU will fall way down just as soon as Sly's guys are gone. Just wait and see.
The key to beating State is stopping their run. Yes, we've done that all year, but we've got to be fired up to do it again. No letdown, stop the run. EVERYTHING State does starts with the runs. If our D plays well, it's over (and a shutout). Intensity on the D.
no doubt will be tough and if we goof off and don't score any points they will hang around and believe they can win.....we've got to stuff their run and score early to make them pass and give up!....
It will definitely be tough if the team doesn't have the proper mindset. They need to go in wanting to decapitate their qb and put his grandma in front of a government-run insurance death panel. Take no prisoners.
