Alabama heads into its final bye week, prior to facing what’s deemed to be its biggest opponent of the regular season.
After being bumped to No. 2 in favor of Louisiana State University in the latest updated version of the Associated Press poll, the game on Nov. 9 will be one for the ages. Opposing teams, rival fans and even bandwagon fans that came to the Crimson Tide upon Nick Saban’s arrival have been criticizing Alabama’s defense all year. Statements like “they are not as good as they use to be” or “they have fallen off” have been used through eight matchups.
