Listening on the radio at my hotel in Franklin, Tenn., which is apparently home of some National Historian’s Society convention. Thanks to all of you who made it difficult for me to even get up the elevator.

Alabama has a 46-41 halftime lead. Troy had a lead for most of the half and is still forcing the issue with turnovers. The Trojans very much have a chance to come out of Tuscaloosa with a win.

Senior Jarvis Acker apparently didn’t get cleared, so he’s not playing. That’s a big loss for Troy. Not sure when he’ll be back.
