After stunning the college football world with its victory over LSU to start the year, the Bulldogs lost its last three games and are struggling on offense. Players have even decided to leave the program, as Mike Leach is trying to locate athletes that want to remain on the team.
When it comes to the Crimson Tide, its offense has been in perfect sync while its defense is improving.
