00:00And by the end of October, could the Alabama Crimson Tide have three regular season losses?
00:10Almost unfathomable.
00:11It has not happened in SEC play for Alabama since 2010, but it is very much at stake on
00:18this Saturday afternoon in our second of five top 25 matchups to break down on this Saturday
00:25week number nine.
00:27But Alabama enters this matchup against top 25 Missouri as more than a two touchdown favorite
00:32at home.
00:33Looking to bounce back from its second loss of the year last week on Rocky Top and a low
00:38scoring game against Tennessee.
00:40This is now our second time in the last month we have asked a similar question.
00:45What resolve do we see out of the Crimson Tide today?
00:48So the problem with this matchup here, and I think just to, not to throw water on the
00:55slate, but the game that we just did ranked ranked pick them game, the rest of them all
01:00two touchdowns.
01:01Correct.
01:02This one is specifically tough to watch because this wouldn't be two touchdowns.
01:06This is not man.
01:07They love Alabama.
01:08If you see this line, he goes, something's not right here.
01:11Oh, there are they?
01:12Oh, they're telling me to bet that.
01:13No, no, no.
01:14They're telling you that Missouri lost all of their good offensive players outside of
01:17Luther Burden, though.
01:18I don't know how effective Luther Burden will be without Brady Cook, considering the burden
01:22this season hasn't been all that effective.
01:24Even with Brady Cook.
01:25So that is the issue here, Joe.
01:27I always hesitate to get involved with games that are dealing with backup quarterbacks.
01:33It makes for a really rough spot.
01:36There's some angles that I do like here, but if I was betting this side, I can only bet
01:41Alabama drew pine stepping in trust through pine is not the guy, Joe.
01:47He's not the guy.
01:48Eight of 21, I believe it last week for less than a hundred yards.
01:53And then Brady Cook came back.
01:55They pull out that victory against Auburn 21 to 17 close as a three and a half point
02:00favorite.
02:01They cover the game.
02:02But this game for me is more about Alabama than it is Missouri.
02:06And Nate Noel, they're starting running back from Missouri's out.
02:09Marcus Carroll will jump in into that.
02:12But there's a lot of pressure on Alabama.
02:14There's a lot of pressure on Kaitlin DeBoer for this team to rebound.
02:17They had a seven nothing lead at halftime against a rival, a team that they had beaten
02:2116 out of the last 17 times, the college football playoff hopes on the line.
02:26And they allow 24 second half points.
02:29Not only that, but the offense was one dimensional.
02:31They run for 2.2 yards per carry, give up 214 rushing yards to Tennessee, 5.3 yards
02:38per carry.
02:39Right.
02:40I, Missouri to me is playing with house money.
02:43I don't love them, but I'm going to take a shot with the 15 and a half because that secondary
02:47for me is only giving up 157 passing yards per game.
02:51Let's keep in mind to Alabama struggled in the second half against Georgia.
02:55They struggled against USF at home.
02:58They struggled in many games, South Carolina.
03:00So to say that they're going to walk out there because they're coming off a loss and dominate
03:04this ball game by 28, I'll take the points and I'll reassess from an in-game perspective.
