re: Optimistic we’ll score 30+. Not optimistic gumps won’t score 40+ vs an Aranda D.

You make a good point. Bama‘s point totals have been trending upward the last few years. In my opinion Aranda came into this season unprepared and opponents’ analysts have figured him out.

I disagree he was unprepared. You may be right that opponents have slightly figured him out, though. He doesn’t have a Devin White or Arden Key or Grant Delpit(from 2018) to help bail him out when he doesn’t straight up out-scheme somebody. But I know Aranda is too smart and his ego is not too big to not be self-scouting this week and making some adjustments. Bama may beat us, but it won’t be because Dave Aranda was unprepared and not ready. It will be because their players simply beat ours. Just like it will be that ours beat theirs should—when—we win.
