SEC road games should never be taken for granted. An unfocused Alabama football team can perhaps win in Starkville. But winning, even covering the 20.5 point spread is not enough. Nick Saban NEVER attempts to run up a score. This is one week the Crimson Tide coach should never let up.
A four or five touchdowns (or more) win in Starkville could accomplish much in one of two ways. The Crimson Tide defense holding the Bulldogs to under 10 points would heal some wounds and somewhat repair a damaged perception. Another successful outcome would be a massive explosion of 50 or more points while holding the Bulldogs to 14 points or less.
