In the history of Alabama football, the Tide has only lost to the Wildcats twice. I'm pretty sure that's the right figure. The last time it happened was when Tim Couch was the UK QB. They tore down the goal posts at Commonwealth Stadium that night. Lots of bourbon was drank.
That wasn't the case Saturday with a balanced Tide offense and strong defense.
In comparison to last game versus the Razorbacks, the running game looked better. RB Ingram had yet another solid game, yet frosh Richardson struggled. The OLine pass-blocked well, with McElroy maybe taking one sack. And the Tide QB played well. One poster on the Tide website I'm a member of compared McElroy to Danny White, the solid but not flashy QB of the Dallas Cowboys way back when. And that comparison makes sense to me for now.
The D gave up a big passing play for a touchdown, but it was a great pass and catch on the part of Wildcats. I'm still concerned about our run defense since Kentucky broke some good runs against the good guys, and I don't like that.
