    Penn State is not looking like the formidable opponent I thought they were. Temple is ahead and looking far superior to PSU.

    PSU is getting handled by Temple. Definitely doesn't do much for saying good Bama is or isn't.

    Preseason polls suck.

    :D
    Bama is very good, especially on defense. Temple was not bad at all. Al Golden left them with a real program that recruits in a good area. Meanwhile, Penn State needed to ease JoePa out the door years ago...

    You may well be correct. SEC schedule starts next week. Arkansas first. One week at a time. At this point a win is a win. 8)

    Our OL is an enigma. We don't dominate anyone. Turnovers are a problem. We had 3 Saturday and didn't get any. Defense is tough and I guess we will find out. Hopefully it all comes together...soon. :?
