OUR PREDICTION: This Colorado State team isn’t going to be intimidated by the task at hand tonight. The Rams have a couple of senior leaders in quarterback Nick Stevens, who has passed for 985 yards and six touchdowns, as well as receiver Michael Gallup, who has 26 catches for 309 yards. Alabama isn’t going to lose tonight, but with its passing game grounded at the moment, I see a physical, low-scoring game where the Tide comes up short of covering the number.
