Hangover Sunday: Western Kentucky


When your team never punted in the game, that's a clear indication that the game went well.

John Parker Wilson looked good, made some nice completions, and the offensive line (with the return of Andre Smith) was dominant, as they should be against the lowly Hilltoppers. Backup QB Greg McElroy also looked quite good, and third stringer Thomas Darrah came in late when it was obvious that the offense was only going to run the ball. 

One of the best aspects of this game is that Alabama got to play many of its reserves to give them experience--lots of freshmen and redshirt freshmen. With only nine scholarship seniors on the team, the youngsters need "reps" in a game. 

Next Saturday the Tide takes on Arkansas in Fayetteville, always a tough place to play.
