Flash Thoughts; Bama football has a cat like personality
Those who doubted Alabama in winning at Georgia shame on you:
Flash Thoughts:
Alabama football does indeed have a personality like a cat.
It's called "Nine Lives."
Frustrated fans and certain media personalities had written the Crimson Tide off from their season opening loss to Florida State when they went to Sanford Stadium to battle No. 3 ranked Georgia.
No question of having a bye week before this encounter enabled Alabama to deliver a strong punch to those who doubted the Tide of being able to break Georgia's long term home winning streak.
The Tide prevailed 24 to 21.
Alabama gained plenty on this Saturday evening in a nationally televised game.
They let it be known parity does for sure roams this season in the Southeastern Conference.
Alabama is 1 & 0 in the SEC as is Missouri, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Texas A&M while Ole Miss has moved to 3 & 0 after outlasting LSU 24 to 19 Saturday afternoon in Oxford.
Margin for error is on an increase with Georgia, LSU and Tennessee 1 & 1 heading into a brutal October schedule.
How many faithful Alabama fans now forgive Kalen DeBoer and his team for the fact of not being ready to go to Tallahassee the final weekend of August and lose to no longer lowly rated Florida State?
A good start by the Tide between the hedges in getting a two touchdown lead on Georgia sent the Bulldogs into panic mode all night.
Georgia managed to close the score to 24 to 21 with a TD in the 3rd, but scoring in this game was done for the fact of good defensive play, especially in the final stanza for Alabama.
For the status of the SEC is just beginning with conference play as many of the elite will deal with these type of games through October.
Alabama can't get too comfortable for the Tide is to play Vanderbilt, Missouri, Tennessee and South Carolina next month with Missouri and Carolina being on the road.
For the first time in a true high intense setting, Alabama performed well enough as a road squad.
How much of this victory erases the pain of losing last season in Nashville, Knoxville and Norman, Oklahoma and then the letdown from opening day at Florida State.
The Crimson Nation needs to take a step back and be grateful that their football team defied the odds when over passionate fans of Bama football wanted DeBoer gone a month into his 2nd year in Tuscaloosa.
For many and also including certain media people which will remain nameless will be having crow for lunch on Sunday.
Reality is hovering in some programs.
Arkansas was beaten down by Notre Dame, Auburn could not get offensive and lost to Texas A&M.
LSU is less superior than Ole Miss with the Rebels controlling the final 5:00 of the game and LSU speechless on the situation.
The status of college football from the SEC for certain and teams from the rest of the Power 5 understand, it's one game at a time.
Alabama made its point on a beautiful Saturday evening in Athens, Georgia.
Now let's see how this drama develops with so much still ahead for Alabama to stay in contention for a berth in this year's CFB playoff scenario.
