But if you're in Alabama, I don't know if there's a better team you could have played the week before Missouri than Vanderbilt.

Because Vanderbilt does a lot of the same thing.

Well, yeah, there's some similarities.

You saw a couple of plays Vandy hit earlier, but they shut that down because they're fundamental in their pass rush and they're fundamental in your run-stopping ability.

I think Alabama has to approach that in the same way.

Alabama. I think Alabama has to approach that in the same way. Alabama at Missouri.

You know what?

Who'd have thought that two of the biggest games?

We know Alabama, Georgia is always huge.

We know Alabama LSU is always huge.

Obviously the Iron Bowl is huge.

But the last two weeks, because we've got at Missouri coming up for Alabama, who'd have thought that Vanderbilt at home would have game day? And Alabama at Missouri would have these humongous implications for this. You see, because Missouri's a damn good football. Oh, yeah. I just think it's amazing that it seems like every week now, There is just a massive game with Alabama against an

opponent that isn't normally a massive match. Well, that's great for the sport. It's great for the

sport. How healthy is that for the long-term nature of college football, man? It's huge. And Blaine,

I'm going to be honest with you, the more I look at Missouri, not just schematically, but personnel-wise, they just look

like a better version of Vandy. I think Vandy does some really good things on defense to

mitigate their lack of depth and overall athleticism, but Missouri has depth and has athleticism.

Then offensively, it's a lot of this.

Yeah.

Side to side. I mean, hell, drink's going to run outside. It's the race to stop outside zone when you play Missouri. Because they've got two backs that can do it. They've got a quarterback that can run it. But Alabama's good enough to stop them on defense. It's just, God Hardy's a player. No, yeah, they're the, they're vandy, but with a lot more NFL talent.

Yeah, I believe it's a good way to put it.

And not only, I mean, we believe that, and the public believes that as well. I mean, this game opened up at minus five and a half Alabama. Right now already, it's sitting minus two and a half. Oh, my God. And the money is still laying Missouri at.15. You think it'll go back up to three and a half? I would buy a point right. I wouldn't be surprised when this game kicks off that Missouri is a minus one and a half point favorite. I wouldn't be surprised by this. But when you look around all of college football, and again, Alabama beat Vanderb, that was a good win.
