My observations:
65-3 in the first half against Bama. 65 to THREE. Take Bama minus the first half line in two weeks. You're welcome.
Ten out of 23 times against the West we've had single digit or zero first half points. That's with double digits against the Bears all four times.
The Bama line keeps growing by 3-5 points a year.
There's three total halves where we pitched a shutout. The first half against Nutt's hapless squad, the second half against John L's inept Hog team last year, and naturally, the Cam Newton led offense of 2010.
Thank God for Kentucky.

Good info..

I'd be surprised if Bama's lines haven't increased on average against all opponents the past few years.

You forgot to

mention how aweful our recruiting is****

It's implying we can just leave at halftime this year against Bama. His A squad will score almost at will against us, and then he'll put in the subs in the second half, and we'll continue our second half woes. In some years past, we've been able to score in the second half against them, but probably not this year.
