Alabama always wins this game. But Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs are dangerous enough to halt the Tide if they’re caught looking ahead to the Iron Bowl.
The Crimson Tide had to work harder than usual to pull out a 24-10 victory against LSU, and sustained some costly injuries in the process – they’re now down four regular linebackers. That won’t make life easy against the elusive Fitzgerald. Mississippi State caused its fans a scare by trailing early against UMass, but the Bulldogs rallied to win and extend their winning streak to four games.
Not surprisingly, this has been one of the most one-sided SEC series.
