TJ Finley has big goals for his senior season, and the first step of those goals is to get off to a good start against Alabama.
Finley did not mince word when talking about his goal in the Hilltoppers’ week one matchup against the Tide during an interview with Bookit Sports on Youtube.
“I wanna win a bowl game, but I want to get to the playoffs. They made a 12 team playoff this year, and week 1, we go play Alabama,” Finley said. “I have seen Alabama for four years straight and threw for 150 yards every time I played them, whether I was 18 or whether I was 21. But at the end of the day, it’s about winning. Now is the time for me to submit myself into the top five, top 10 quarterbacks of this next year class, and I’m ready to do it. We have all the pieces we need to make a run this year. Whether we go to Alabama and win or not, we’re gonna show Alabama this ain’t the regular Western Kentucky that you’re just gonna roll over and do anything like that. It’s a whole new ball club. Alabama has a whole new ball club that people have to take into consideration that they might not be who they who they think they might be. And as what’s your boy on TikTok say, Willie? Blitz, Bama, Blitz.”
The Louisiana product is 0-3 all-time versus Alabama. He has lost two time as a starting quarterback versus the Tide. However, he did take Alabama to four overtimes in 2021 as Auburn’s starting quarterback.
