Big game fatigue settling in yet?

For the third straight week, Alabama is playing arguably the biggest game of the week nationally. Is that starting to wear you, the reader, thin?

Of that stretch of Arkansas, then Florida and now South Carolina, my summertime pick for the toughest test of the bunch is the one coming up Saturday. Playing South Carolina on the road is not an enviable position, but throw in the rest it will have and questions about Julio Jones’ health, this could get interesting.

I’m not exactly predicting the upset, rather an interesting game played under difficult circumstances.

Yesterday, Nick Saban said this game would be Alabama’s defining moment this season. That could be motivational tactics coming into play, but I wouldn’t count on less of a game because of the relatively easy win the Tide cruised to over Florida.

Just something to keep in mind.
