I got a fever. And the only prescription is less cowbell.
If you watched this game on ESPN last night, you might have noticed all that noise in the background. Yes, those were cowbells.
The Bulldogs came out strong in the first quarter, but the Crimson Tide D and offense did a fine job of silencing, well perhaps more like muffling, them since they're catalyzed by the play of the Bulldogs of Mississippi State.
I do have to say that Anthony Dixon, State's senior RB, is a load.
But the Alabama D played well, especially the two fellows featured above, safety Mark Barron (4) and cornerback Marquis Johnson (24). Barron had two interceptions while Johnson had one at the end of the game. And Johnson had some excellent pass breakups. And you can see Barron's vertical leaping ability after he had knocked the ball off course on one play. Since Kareem Jackson and Javy Arenas are the top two corners on the team, Johnson gets thrown at a lot, and he's been doing well under the heat. He needs to keep it up.
Ingram had yet another solid game, and McElroy had two long TD passes.
A game against the Tennessee-Chattanooga this Saturday, and then it's the Iron Bowl on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
