Are You Really Surprised By The Tulane Game?

The biggest flaw of a young immature team is the inability to play consistantly. At a young age, it's also much easier to play as the under-dog than to be the top dog. Going into a game against a lesser opponent with high expectations from a big win in week one is like trying to run around with a 600 lbs. gorilla on your back.

The Tulane game was just as much of a test as playing in the Georgia Dome against #9 Clemson. A young Alabama time learned a big lesson in the Tulane game in that they have to have a killer instinct in every single game they play. Not having you head straight and going into games against teams like Louisian-Monroe, Tulane, Western Kentucky and Arkansas St., that having nothing to lose, you are eventually going to get upset.

The Tide has been taught a lesson now there will be another test this coming Saturday. Will this team pass that test?
