31 Utah, 17 Alabama


I went to the Sugar Bowl (in the presidential box seats that were given to Dueling Couches) last night to watch my beloved Tide hopefully destroy Utah, but obviously that wasn't the case. Utah's Brian Johnson seemed unstoppable as he threw for 336 yards and 3 TDs, and Utah just flat out beat Bama from the starting whistle. They were out played, out coached and out fanned(If that makes sense) the Tide. Utah's fans took up one third of the massive superdome and were louder than everyone else. I noticed even before the game I could clearly hear the Utah fans from the top of the stadium as the Bama fans were being lethargic and just acted like they were going to win. What really aggravated me is when I was swearing at John Parker Wilson for his one of many fuck ups last night and people started asking me not to swear or making me feel guilty to stand up. Every time I swore from their on out this mother and the 14 year old daughter shot their heads around and gave me dirty looks(it took all my power not to turn into the incredible, obnoxious, swearing, hulk). Like Wilde reported earlier, I hope this win shows the BCS that Utah is the real deal and deserves a shot at the championship as much as anyone. I mean the were undefeated.

Sugar Bowl Preview: Bama vs Utah


All year I have been repping Alabama to the fullest and although I'm sad Bama isn't in the National Championship game, I am glad that I get to watch their final game in the Superdome tonight. I hated Alabama up until the point I was stuck in Tuscaloosa while driving down to New Orleans and I fell in love with the Tide. I also was shocked at what a real college feels like. Tonight's game against Utah is going to be an interesting one. Bama could very well get upset by the Utes and terrific quarterback Brian Johnson, however, if Bama plays tough, doesn't make mistakes and plays "Bama" football they should have this one in the bag.

An underlying theme in this game will be the David vs Goliath mentality with Utah coming from a small conference going against the big bad SEC. Utah has an extremely balanced offense led by fore mentioned quarterback Brian Johnson. Johnson is a very accurate quarterback who rarely makes mistakes, during the season Johnson had 24 touchdowns to only 9 interceptions. If the run game can get anything going verse a stingy Tide defense Johsnon could be very dangerous. However, the Tides defensive line is pretty close to best in the country and that might be too much for Johnson to shoulder.

The formula is very easy for Bama. Give it to Glen Coffee, Engram a bunch and if that doesn't work, throw it to Julio Jones. That is what Bama has lived by all year and with that offensive line it is very possible to happen.

All in all, I believe Bama will win this game, and the world will see Julio Jones on the national spotlight.

Bama 35-21
