Well, I suspected the War Hawks of Louisiana-Monroe were going to pay for the lackluster showing the Tide had in Austin.
63 to 7.
Alabama scored in all phases of the game - on offense, on defense through Anderson's pick six, and two special teams touchdowns from a blocked punt and a punt return by Brian Branch.
McKinstry had to be thinking "Why didn't I get a touchdown?" after Branch ran his back. Kool-Aid five punt returns for 136 yards.
The offense had 273 net yards from a lot of different runners, some of whom I've never seen before like Jamarian Miller and Jonathan Bennett.
The receivers did well against inept competition. So we'll see how they do against a surprising Vandy team next game. And then there's a three-game gauntlet of very good SEC teams to deal with: at Arkansas, vs. Texas A&M, and at Tennessee.
There's not much to learn about the team based on the competition they faced.
I did like seeing a TE besides Latu catch a pass. True freshman Amari Niblack had a nice catch for a TD. But it was good seeing Latu back on the field and doing well.
