What's the deal with Alabama's backup QB? I don't know if I have seen him even take a snap or not? Is he just the serviceable type or what? One other question, what about Tua's little brother, is he an option for them?

Fluid. You cannot presuppose losses or wins though. Or, at least, they are not suppose to.

Tua’s little brother is talented, but down the depth chart due to lack of experience. Mack Jones in the back-up. He started against Ark, and has played a bit throughout season. The playbook shrunk vs Ark, but they let him run more of the O than I expected.
Yeah, I knew Jones was the back-up. I haven't really seen him much, but then again, I don't watch anyone play Arkansas.
They're a worse team today are they not?

Yes. But resume Is the measuring stick. Not whether an injury makes them better or worse. It will all sort out.
Their resume is not good, but a win over Auburn is going to save them? Can you say self-fulfilling prophecy? It sure will "all sort out."

It depends against whose resume you compare them.
They are clearly on the outside looking in, and should be.
But, based on scenario I outlined above, I won’t count them out now or later if it comes to be.
I think Bama is better than Utah, even with Mack Jones.
Utah's got a better defense and a better run game. Bama had a big advantage with its WRs and QB, but now Utah has the QB advantage and the WR advantage Bama had was nullified with Tua's injury.
Realistically, Bama's in the 2nd ten of the best tams right now. I think Utah's a bit better than Penn State but not as good as Ohio State, Clemson or LSU. We've got a Top 3 with a lot of warts on the teams we'd try to make a case for at #4.

All that may be true. Bama would be favored.

Been there done that. 2008 Sugar Bowl. Utes own Bama.

No game is a gimme since there is no Rutgers / Vandy or half the ACC in the PAC. Buffs make me nervous. Always close it seems. If Utes win, will be happy yet respectful. CU is a worthy opponent.

Have this weeks other games thread ready to post as soon as I get to my home computer.
These MAC games are kind of brutal. None of them are good enough to make a point out of seeing but they beat watching nothing.
Kind of glad that this late in the season the PAC isn't dumping games on Thursday and Friday nights like earlier in the season.
Well, I do have to at some point actually do some work instead of spending all day on allbuffs.
The Other Games post are usually written fairly late at night when I am done with the days worth of paying activities.
I figured that might be obvious with all the typos I find in them after I post.
