Minnesota is a pretty good running team but Bama is tought to run against and Bama should be able to do some damage against a gopher team that gave up 30 to Indiana(???)......and it seems like Minnesota quit when the lost a few games.

Also should be a lot of Bama support for this game........Any thoughts.........

I agree. I think Bama gets it done here. Minny has no defense, and I don't think the running game of Minny will be able to do much. Could be a close game, but I think Bama wins.

Injuries were huge on the Bama side this year. Defense carried them to the 6-5 record they had. I am biased of course, but i think Bama gets another 3 wins minimum with a healthy team.
That probably doesn't help tomorrow, but the smarter play might be the under. I won't play it, i don't play unders, but bamas offense is horrible ever since brodie went down, but d will still be solid, so that might be the play.

Just my two cents

Just to counter -- Minny seemed to have quit last two years and found a way to win their bowl games, beating Oregon last year and Arkansas in 2002.

Tough game to cap but I don't think it's really a slam dunk either way. Arkansas' D is very good, but better against the pass than the run. Minnesota's defense is weak in the secondary, but does Arkansas have the team to exploit that? I threw a unit on Minny just because I like rushing dogs and they have a decent bowl history, but wouldn't suggest bombing this game from either end. Just seems like a lot of different things could happen.

Best of luck to you with whatever you choose.

LOL NOLE -- what was I thinking. I was looking up a bunch of stuff from the 2002 game where Minnesota stomped the Razorbacks and I guess I had Arkansas on my mind.

Minn doesn't look so hot to start anyway.

I knew you were distracted. Who was she?

Minny wins this game straight up.
