More time for Justin to heal, additional time for Waddle to rehab, and possibly get back a few guys that didn't get hit with COVID but are out due to contact tracing?......seems like an even trade-off to me.

If it's any more than 3-4 major contributors (especially if it's mainly in one, specific position group) that are going to be out on Monday, I say push to move it back a week. An extra week of prep for a big game would be nice. All those rich people who have 2k for a ticket will have no problem rearranging their hotel and travel schedules for a week later. Or, hell, spend an extra week in Miami.....lol

I wonder why Alabama and the SEC are pushing so hard...that's a tough one. Has Bama had even one player miss a game due to COVID all year?

Meanwhile, Ohio State is probably down 5-10 starters alone.

Saban probably took the entire team, coaches and support staff to some retreat in the swamps of Alabama and infected everybody with the 'Vid in June. If somebody died; they died.

Anyway, Friday was so cathartic, much like Bama in 2014. Finally beating Clemson was a relief and much deserved for those guys.

I want the Natty but Ohio State gave it everything this year. And got more than I could imagine- biggest scalp missing is that team up north but they’ll get theirs.

Also, I mean, the Bucks could still just go out and win no matter what gets in the way.

You said more precisely what I tried to convey.

If an entire position group is down what are we even doing attempting to play. My god tell everyone to go to hell and we'll see them on the field 17 days from our outbreak unless the big ten changes the protocols yet again.

Do not attempt to play this game short handed unless you enjoy getting embarrassed on national television. Make them call it a forfeit because they won't do it! This isn't sparty... you cannot show up to play with large amounts of a single position group out. Especially the defensive line like it's rumored.

No one will like it but inform everyone we are shooting for the 25th

As for our program "continuing to follow our protocols"... yeah maybe do something different because it's not working out for us

TIFWIW but have a colleague who's son is the punter for Bama. He says Waddle is all systems go. They're preparing as if he's a starter. And apparently he looks great.

Fantastic..they keep everyone healthy and get like every starter available somehow even though Alabama is running hot right now. Yet here we are and it's 3 straight games of this shit.

Since we are still practicing, I don’t think an entire position group is down.
