Alabama begins it season with a BANG!
Boise, Idaho
The Sec has not been known as the conference for its teams to schedule quality out of conference games. Every season for any team in the SEC is murderer's row. Week after week there are top 25 match ups to be seen. Alabama did not shy away from stacking their out of conference with the toughest of opponents too. Alabama scheduled 3 top 25 teams and one top 40 team. 3 out of those for games were on the road.
Looking at that tough schedule you would think Alabama would have no chance at a BCS shot. But hold tight there suger plum Alabama has proven everyone wrong. In the past 2 weeks Alabama has went on the road twice in the first two weeks of the season and won huge games in stadiums that are notorious for hostile environments. The team looks like a team on the mission. This Alabama team is hungry.
The Tide is rolling.
After embarrassing the Wildcats the tide rolled into Boise to play on the blue field. The top 25 match up was the game of the week and would have huge implications for both teams in their hunt at a BCS game.
It would start out hairy for the Tide who just could not get things rolling. With the defense on its heels Ali Sharrief would cause a huge fumble which linebacker Rolando McClain would find and return 90 yards to silence the Boise crowd.
Alabama would then go on to score multiple times. Mark Ingram was a man on a mission throwing himself into the early season Heisman discussion. Ingram would run for 176 yards on only 16 carries. He would score his third and forth touchdowns of the season with ease against the Broncos.
Alabama would go to win in Boise 37- 29
Next week Alabama will face Oklahoma in Tuscaloosa in what may be the game of the season. Game Day will be there for all of the excitement. The swagger is back, and BIFVL is basking in Bama mystique.
BIFVL has the Tide rolling once more.
