Bama goes from being #1 all season, to losing on the last play on a series of absolutely horific luck.
Now, instead of playing for a NC, they find themselves in the Sugar Bowl. This would lean one to believe that it would be tough for Bama to muster the motivation to give 100% in this one.
This will be AJ McCarron's last start, so I would imagine that he will certianly be motivated. Will his team show up for him tonight though?
Saban is a great motivator, and giving him this long to prepare is typically a huge negative for his opponent.
If Bama shows up to play today, they will win by 35+. This Oklahoma offense is poor in the passing game, and if they can't run, it's going to be a long game.
I think Saban will look to send McCarron out on a high note. I think he throws for 300+ yards and 5 TD's.
If this was any other team than Bama, I'd say they wouldn't be motivated enough. Given the circumstances tonight, gimme Bama.
