Alabama football arrived in Dallas to continue preparations for Friday’s National Semi-Final Game vs. Cincinnati. Tide QB Bryce Young (pictured above) wasn’t the focus of the Sunday News Conferences. It was all about how the teams are handling the ever present CoVid threat to their teams and could Cincinnati be a threat to The Defending Champs. I’ll leave the unpredictably of CoVid to others, but Cincinnati is more predictable. They win football games. Winners of 22 of their last 23, the loss to Georgia. Go back, they’ve won 44 of their last 50. The losses, Georgia, Ohio State, Memphis, Memphis, UCF, Temple. I don’t know what the score of this game will be, but if it’s a blowout, it will not be because Cincinnati didn’t show up and play well.
