Saban played there and coached there. He may feel inclined not to 'run up the score' out of respect. Take that with a grain of salt though, because that is just my opinion. GL to you.

Another poster said that too but I dont think he can just kneel the ball and tell his his kids to stop playing

Good point. Plus, Saban is always wanting his players to give maximum effort or they will feel his wrath. There is no doubt that Alabama can cover that with ease and hit the over for you. It would have to be a command from Saban himself for them not to cover.

Yeah im probably on that over even if saban puts the 5th string in and just pounds the rock at them in the 2nd half kent doesnt have the talent or depth to to stop them Kents front 7 is small God I love the Mac. What will Bama team total be? Thats probably best bet.

Quarterback starting first game under center, all new receivers except maze, althrough there damn sure talented, kent state has some really impressive defensive backs, but other than that bama defense is as loaded as any team ive saw since miami 2001, i just think there bgging you to take bama. 38-3 or 38-10 i can see the score being.

I wouldnt lat those points. I would guess Saban more interested in getting through the game with no injuries

no just college football diehard, if you refering to me bragging on there defense both there safties Barron and Lester will be took in the top 2 rounds, Kirpatrick will be a top 20 pick and the other corners are the number 1 in there respected classes clinton-dix and milliner. best linebacking core in th country hands down 4 players who will go high in drafts in mosley, hightower, upchurch, and the run stuffing beast nico johnson. there d line is the weakest park but they go 8 deep and some of them will step up. i will play them most games this year but i think 38 is to much to give first game of the year new qb and first time out

kent state is horocious on offense but there defense is prety athletic if they can keep it at a stale mate for 8 or 9 minutes that should be enough for them to bear the storm and cover, i just think they set the line that high because they know most of the money bet on that game will come from bama backers, boosters, "squares", whatever, and they are flat out begging you to lay the 38.

It's 36.5 once again not 38.... And you are saying Kent st can "stalemate" bama? Sometimes the square side is the right side. Call it what you want I call it making money

I don't really like Ohio st with all the players missing and drama... Don't me wrong they win no doubt just dont know about 34 but may be they will... GL
