Colby's Call: Alabama vs Florida International

Okay, so last week I was a little off on the score but I still covered the spread. This week is all about numbers, and boy do we have them. Whether you believe it or not, five-star athletes and depth does matter. If you are Florida International you want to strike quickly and early, but let me tell you--it's not going to happen tonight. Expect a 35-point-or-more blowout under the lights at Bryany Denny. I am going with a score of Alabama, 41; Florida International, 6. Key players to look for tonight will be freshmen sensation Trent Richardson #3, Mark Ingram #22, and of course the infamous Julio Jones #8.

Other games to look for will be Auburn vs Mississippi State and USC vs Ohio State. Here is what you can expect from those games:

AU vs MSU
Look for Auburn to wear down MSU in the second half to win by a score of 28-17.

USC-OSU
Forget about the Buckeyes in this one, they are as overrated as a team can be. I am calling a beatdown at the Horseshoe on national television. My final call will be USC dismantling OSU by a score of 48-24.

Colby's Call

Every Friday I am going to post my prediction for the Alabama game. Here is my call for Saturday's matchup: Tomorrow night around 10:30 you will see a score of (or at least closely resembling) Alabama 38; Virginia Tech 10. This will involve two touchdowns from outside of Alabama’s offense--I believe there will be one by the defense and one by special teams. Any difference in score will be minimal. Get ready Hokies, I am feeling a beat down in Atlanta this weekend. Roll Tide!
