"Were small ", never seen a guy with such the lack of confidence in an interview, before the game ,really just short of an aoplogy for losing the game already , really got the felling that he was trying to prepare everyone for the loss, Talks about how big Alabama is , and how they run downhill , how they arent very deep , and how small how they are .
over and over talks about how well coached they are , Dramatically challenging to keep up with what they are doing ,
hope you guys got to see that ESPN U
Coaches do this in an attempt to make the other team take them lightly. Before the internet media boom, coaches would normally give an interview to the opposing teams newspaper and that was the only bit of media the other team would get. It's an old practice that's never gone away. As much as Tennessee hates Alabama you better believe they're coming to play.
You are looking at a total of around 43-44. That seems rather high. These teams have gone "under" in 4 of their last 5 meetings. 'Bama has been held to 42 points in their last two games. Tennessee's offense speaks for itself. I see a low scoring game here. Both teams are going to try and control the ball.
