"Alabama, gosh, they look like they could beat a couple of those NFL teams that I've watched on Sundays," Spurrier told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday. "I think a lot of the oddsmakers out there, that usually know what's going on, I'd guess Alabama would be favored by a little bit."

Or he might be trying to get attention away from how he used classy comments from Clemson's Sweeney about Lattimore as an opportunity to take a dig at him, since at least Yahoo pointed out his lack of class spoiling the moment.lhslep134;1310005 wrote:Do you guys think Spurrier was being serious? I mean he says something he clearly knows isn't true about Alabama the week of their biggest game of the year. Quite the gamesmanship from the HBC.

I think Alabama has more than 15-20 players, but they are all less than Rookies where KC has a full team of NFL talent.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1310019 wrote:Spurrier was simply blowing smoke up their rear... Definitely gamesmanship. This comment was talked about on PTI, and the point they brought up is this, Alabama has 15-20 NFL players on their squad. The Chiefs have 52. Simply put, just an absolutely ridiculous comment.
Exactly. A good college basketball team has a much better chance of winning against a pro team than in football. I'm still about 99% sure that Kentucky last year could stand toe to toe with the Bobcats.Manhattan Buckeye;1310389 wrote:Alabama wouldn't score, the Chiefs would score every possession unless Cassel made a truly bonehead pass.
There is a big difference from a physicality standpoint in the NFL - when you are a professional there aren't restrictions on practicing or weight lifting. I mean when a standout like Mark Ingram can't it get done in the NFL you know that college success does not necessarily translate to NFL success.
