offensive powerhouse while Bama is a defensive giant..

Tech averages 511 yards (403 passing) and 42.1 points per game. The Tide allows 248 yards and 10.7 points per game..

Without an effective ground game, the Tech offensive line will likely struggle against a very good Tide defensive front seven. Look for the Tide to put a lot of pressure on the Tech QB. The veteran and very experienced Tide secondary should be able to neutralize the Tech receivers.

Even though Tech is favored, I have to go with the old coaches’ adage, “Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships.” Tide wins 24-20.
