Probability to beat Alabama and/or keep it close ?

2 TDs better than WKU is most definitely a stretch.
The fact that Saban said we dont belong in the SEC....to me means he is gonna wanna prove that next weekend. I think we lose by 30 plus
So I say 0% chance we upset them and about 5% chance we stay within 30

More likely that Martians land on the field at halftime or that Donald and Hillary say nice things about each other during the debate.
Saben is a professional. He didn't say that but he did mention that two teams in the sec lost to teams that were in the same conference as wku leading up to their game.
Bama has more shut outs than any team since 2007 and we struggled to score against Florida and South Carolina. We may get shut out. I don't think we score more than 10. 49-7 is my prediction.
Even if they wanted to toy with us and let it be close thru the third quarter, they could step on the gas and name the final margin. I'm just hoping our QB comes out of that game in one piece. Losing a game hurts a little. Losing a QB hurts more than a lot.
So what will the staff's approach be to Bama? Our best shot to keep it close is to milk clock. Hopefully Boom, Snell, and Kemp can find a few seems and get some positive yardage on the ground. We absolutely must grind out some first downs, and not be 3 and out all the time. Pass just enough to keep the LBs and secondary honest, and then quick patterns where Johnson has less chance to get sacked. He's got to learn to throw the ball away when necessary. Can't afford negative plays or penalties with a highly superior team. Ball security and a decent number of first downs should enable us to chew up some clock. Bama will probably score just about every possession they have, so essential to limit their possessions. Make them use a long field and limit the big play...make them run clock. Something like 28-3 looks and feels a lot better than 56-10 or 65-14. Of course, the key will be the OL creating a few running lanes. Will be a very hard task, but that is how I would approach this game, and then hope that Bama makes a few mistakes along the way and that we can capitalize on them. Just remember, every once in a while strange things happen in this game of FB.
I do not think we will be able to run the ball even with Snell and Boom. I think we must sell out on D on getting to Quarter back send no less the 5-6 every play. Offense we must pull out every trickoration we can mustar. I think even do unexpeted onside kicks and fake punts. With that being said we need 10-12 turnovers LOLZ. Might as well have some fun and try some stuff.
Well if we can just get out of there with no injuries, I'll be very content.....
This is a good week to find out who wants to prove they can play, and move up the depth chart. All 3rd and 4 th stringers complaining about playing time here's your chance to step up and move up the depth chart. You want playing time earn it this week.

Lot of "facts" being pulled out of the *** this week.
A win to me would that nobody gets hurt and all of our players are well enough to play next week.
I apologize. I read that Saban said that in another thread on here. Multiple people posted that as fact and I assumed they were right. So by assuming Im an ***.
He said that two SEC teams lost yo teams in WKUs conference. So not a big shot at us. I sincerely apologize for posting that.

We won't score 10 points and will lose by 30ish. The good thing is that Saban isn't one of those run up the score kinda guys who will lay 70 on you in a heartbeat. Even though they could name the score he will keep it under 50. We could play better and the game will still look like the one we played against Florida.
It'll be a baby seal beating. Thankfully Saban is not known for running up the score. Less than 0.1% chance to win the game.
