How will Bama fair without the protection of SEC officals/replay?

None of those three will beat them so who cares

Officiating could be a factor. The health of Jalen Hurts is the most crucial factor. He will have to perform against the Ohio State defense which could be much like the LSU though LSU is probably a better defense.

He will have to put points up if they play Clemson as Deshawn Watson is the worst nightmare for the BAMA defense as shown last year. ole Miss is the closest example of the vulnerability of their defense.

It would also be interesting to see what happens in a game when they don't score a non offensive touchdown or two.

I know everyone is looking past Washington, but Chris Petersen has a history of some big upsets while at Boise State.

Are you saying this based on Bama's lack of big game experience?

well

Alabama doesn't need help - that's why it really sucks. they were holding on florida all day and no calls, and many of those were right at the point of attack.

also, there were 2 block in the backs on Alabama's big return which set up the score to go ahead by 3 scores. they weren't called. Danielson saw it, too.

after the game was well in hand the refs did throw a couple of flags, including a block in the back on a return, but it was too late to make any difference. and don't get me wrong - Alabama was going to win that game anyway.

i'm sick of the politically correct B.S. that you are not supposed to criticize officials. we'll never get anything done about it, which is probably the idea of why you are not allowed to say anything without getting attacked. there are certain parties who like being able to control outcomes, and moreso - point spreads.

it's also amazing how many fans are brainwashed to buy the B.S. propaganda that officials are sacrosanct and no one should be allowed to criticize them or work to make the system better. I see it in this post.

it's when penalties are called and the ones that aren't called that really make the difference.
