FEARS
1. Our defense springs leaks as in the beginning of last year (a la swiss cheese)
2. We play on our heels and look like deer in headlights after reading too many newspaper clippings of how good we are (still have Louisville nightmares of mass confusion and missed assignments)
3. The offensive line is just more of the same; inconsistent at best and Eberle is just thoroughly manhandled.
4. Francouis does not have the time and our running backs don't bail the OL out as Cook did.
5. Place kicker misses two crucial field goals
HOPES
1. We catch Bama flatfooted with all their personnel and coaching changes.
2. Francouis has the time for our WRs to distance themselves for four touchdowns
3. Patrick and Akers run for 100 yards each
4. Our defense has three pics and five sacks against the bammers.
5. Bama goes down back to back to ACC opponents.
6. We beat Bama and just beat Auburn to own the state (and very sweet living here).
7. We play Bama again for the natty and pound them again!
