When it comes to play execution and intensity, I'm not sure we are at the same level. The win this weekend can do one of two things for the team, it can motivate them to have confidence in themselves and work hard to improve their weaknesses, or it can do what the Vanderbilt game did, bloat the ego and convince the players that they're good enough to beat anybody. Once again, Milons was a non-factor in the game. I can't help but think it's a psychological slump. One thing I noticed Saturday, the rest of the team wasn't standing around waiting on Freddie to save the day, they took on the responsibilities themselves and did what had to be done, and that's a quality I haven't seen this season until now.
Injuries are another intangible.
Saturday's loss included another devastating one for Alabama. Terry Jones Jr. suffered a torn ACL, he will be out for the season. Ole Miss. On the bright side, Zow seems to be ready to perform at the level he did last season, and Marvin Constant continues to get stronger and play a little more each game. A. C. Carter had an outstanding game with 9 catches and over 100 yards receiving, and Traindos Luke, the freshman sensation made his debut Saturday. All in all, it was a good week for Alabama, it appears we may have turned the corner and be on our way back up.
