Saturday, September 6th, the Alabama football team will host their first home game of the season against the University of Louisiana-Monroe. Coming off a season-opening loss to FSU, the Tide are hoping to bounce back strong in week 2.

Fans were certainly disappointed,  and the critics let their opinions fly after the Tide's week 1 loss against FSU.

With all that said, the fact is, we need to move on to week two. What do we need to change? How should the team adjust for this second game of the season?

Crimson Tide Football and sports fanatic Roll Tide Willie chimed in with his thoughts. In a recent interview with The Big Dawg, DreDay, and Comedian LP on 105.1 the Block, Willie told three things the Tide needs to do that will secure that week 2 win at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

"We need to run the ball," Roll Tide Willie said. "Run it down their throats." According to Willie, this will help the Tide secure that win against the University of Louisiana-Monroe.
