Alabama Football: Bold predictions for Louisiana-Monroe game

The Texas game did not go as I expected. Last week's bold predictions were more wrong than right. Xavier Worthy did lead Texas in receptions but he did also lead in receiving yards. Bijan Robinson gained 57 yards on the ground.

Alabama's backup quarterbacks, Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson will pass for a combined three touchdowns. The Crimson Tide defense will record at least seven sacks. Alabama's offense needs to improve both the rushing and passing games. Terry Bowden won't be asked about his experience as the Auburn head coach during the post-game review.   Alabama will win the game. ULM will not score a touchdown.

Alabama's backup quarterbacks, Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson will pass for a combined three touchdowns. Alabama's defense will record at least seven sacks. If ULM does score, it will not be by scoring a touchdown. Jase McClellan or Jahmyr Gibbs will rush for 100 or more yards.
