Why Robert Morris Will Win

Just keep on scoring.

The Colonels might not have the talent and firepower of Alabama, but it has the ability to figure away from three enough to make this interesting for a while.

They move the ball around well, are great at coming up with the extra pass, and they’ll have no problems getting up and down in a track meet against an Alabama defense that usually plays like it has four guys on the floor. However …

Why Alabama Will Win

First, yes, Alabama gives up over 81 points per game, but when it really, really has to, it’s great at locking down.

Here’s the problem for Bob Morris - it turns the ball over too much.

The D from three is okay, but it has a turnover issue, Alabama will happily convert those into quick points, and then we’re off.

Yes, the Colonels can score, but they won’t be able to keep the pace, especially from three.

Alabama vs Robert Morris: Who Will Win?

Alabama will take this seriously.

It’s not like it’ll want to rub it in, but after the way the regular season ended, it’ll try resetting the tone right away, especially with a nasty game coming up next no matter if it's the D of St. Mary's or the O of Vanderbilt.

It’ll get up fast and put this away ten minutes in, but Robert Morris will get enough scoring to keep the game moving.

But it’s Alabama. Get off the bus ready to score at least 90 against this bunch, or enjoy the show.
