Alabama endured a shocking Week 1 loss to Florida State last Saturday, something few football fans and analysts could have seen coming. The Crimson Tide look to bounce back in a major way this week against UL Monroe, which could be in for a rude awakening after beating Saint Francis 29-0 last week.
The game will be played on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and it will air nationally on ESPN. Needless to say, everyone in the college football world likes quarterback Ty Simpson and the Tide to recover quickly from the opening-week upset.
Could we be in for an old-school Tuscaloosa bloodbath? It's quite possible, and it's easy to see why the AP still included 'Bama in its Top 25 poll.
Simpson was not bad last week, per se, as he threw for 254 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Germie Bernard hauled in eight passes for 146 yards. Running back Kevin Riley averaged 6.2 yards per carry in his limited touches. There's plenty of talent on the Tide and plenty of reasons to think Alabama is far better than its Week 1 showing.
