Alabama is set to host Western Carolina for Senior Day and their last home game of the season.
Touchdown Alabama’s staff predicts how this game will play out:
STEPHEN M. SMITH / SENIOR REPORTER
Alabama 45 – Western Carolina 0
Key Insight: “Alabama must open the offense up in the first half and let Mac Jones get into a rhythm. It can then start to lean on Najee Harris and the run game. Defensively, the Tide must do what it did against Mississippi State, which is tackle well and attack the ball.”
Season Record: 11-2
JUSTIN SMITH / SCOUTING/RECRUITING ANALYST
Alabama 56 – Western Carolina 3
Key Insight: “All eyes will be on Mac Jones and how he handles being the starting quarterback for Alabama since he will most likely be it throughout this season, but if the Tide’s defense can put together a great performance, it would be their second straight week with impressive performances. With Tua Tagovailoa out for the season, Alabama’s defense will most likely have to step it up a bit to help their offense.”
Season Record: 12-1
PATRICK DOWD / BREAKING NEWS REPORTER
Alabama 52- Western Carolina 10
Key Insight: “With Mac Jones now at the helm, Alabama will come at Western Carolina with a balanced attack on offense, which the Catamounts will not be able to stop. Senior day should also provide a bit more motivation for the Crimson Tide to show out for their departing teammates.”
Season Record: 13-1
