Silent Confidence

 

I have come to a couple conclusions before writing this post. First and foremost, I think we will win the Sugar Bowl, and Title Game. Secondly, this team is vastly underrated. First and foremost, I think this team has a silent confidence about them. All the interviews I have seen with players, has shown me that this team has grown together, that there is no mountain they cannot climb, nor any team they cannot beat. I think that this team will shock the entire country. One must not forget that, as much as national media outlets talk about Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, and Lane Kiffin with time on their hands being deadly. Ohio State has offensive coaches of the year, Ed Warriner and Tom Herman, and a defense that has come together during a very short season. In a weeks time, Tom Herman took a third string quarterback and transformed him into the Big Ten Championship MVP. So with three weeks to prepare, who knows what Cardale will become. Alabama loves to boast that their play makers will be too much for Ohio State, but what is more important is that underestimation of this team. Urban Meyer, Tom Herman, and Ed Warinner will not be denied. Alabama's defense will be tested, if not proven to be unsuccessful.

 

This team is vastly underrated. Watching ESPN, with all the experts, lol, they have all said that JT Barrett was much more of a threat than Cardale, because JT Barrett can run and Cardale cannot. The irony of Cardale and the offensive line is that Cardale can run, and he has the instinct to get away from the pressure. Just watch the Big Ten Champ game, where Cardale ran away from the defense all day. Our offensive line is meshing at the perfect moment, which means that defensive line could be pushed around enough for Elliot, Samuel, and Marshall to penetrate. Once more, if our offensive line is penetrating their defense, than Alabama will have to commit more people to stopping the run, making one on one coverage in a weak secondary for our speedy wide receivers.

The SEC West will never be seen as weak, because the rest of the country outside of that division will always be ranked lower than anyone of theres. However, as the season progresses and teams begin to fall, anaylsts and the nation have to come to terms with the simple notion that other conferences are just as good, if not better than the loved SEC West.

 

In conclusion, the type of confidence I see in this team is one of pride and honor in knowing what you are capable of. Take for instance, in my case, I served in the Marine Infantry, in which, one is taught how to defend themselves and take a life if necessary. That type of training, a very small portion of people experience. But those who do experience it, do not flaunt it, they let their actions speak for itself.

 

Go Bucks!
