We’ll be coming along later with the the Initial Impressions. But, for now, you can’t walk away from that one happy about anything except: 1. It was a win, and 2. there are no major injuries. This is to take nothing away from UT-Chattanooga. That is a very balanced, physical, and competent team. The Mocs did not make the trip to Tuscaloosa to get a paycheck and a 60-point beating. As desultory as Alabama played, Chattanooga played just as inspired given their talent and depth.
Tonight was the most utterly predictable effort and outcome — one you could see coming a week ago, no matter The Process and no matter Saban’s displeasure.
