TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There's a reason there are warning stickers on dangerous materials, and the football team at Alabama definitely qualifies.

When Colorado State made a mistake Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the top-ranked Crimson Tide was there to pounce, producing a 41-23 victory.

CSU coach Mike Bobo cautioned all week his Rams could ill afford to allow big plays to the Tide's offense, and his offense had to be stingy with the ball. Nick Saban's team really doesn't need the help, but it has proven it can take advantage through the years.
