Alabama Loses, FINALLY

The Crimson Tide finally lost this past weekend to South Carolina.  The game was totally one-sided, and Alabama looked like only half the team showed up to play.  Also, South Carolina's running back, Lattimore, had an all-star type day.  He ran all over the Tide, and he's only a freshman.  He's going to be a Heisman candidate one day for sure.  He already has the instinct, skills, and build of a running back who is much older and more experienced in college football.  The interesting thing about this loss for the Tide is that they only dropped about 9 spots, and South Carolina did not surpass the Tide in the polls.  You would think that after defeating the Tide, the Gamecocks would be ranked ahead of them.  Just shows how screwed up the polling and team rating system really is.  This also means that Boise is one step closer to a national championship game, behind only Ohio State and Oregon.  Ohio State is going up against Wisconsion tomorrow and could be challenged for their #1 spot.  Whatever happens, the Tide need to step up and utilize their talent to the fullest.  With two Heisman candidate running backs, you would think they could run all day and never lose a game.  Just shows that they are not unbeatable and if you can stop their running game somehow, you have a great shot at winning.
