Alabama vs Kent State Prediction

What do we know about Alabama? They are a team that can really run up the score, but their defense has been a major issue also. After all, they just gave up 90 points to a terrible North Dakota team, and they are going to have some major issues again with the defense. Look for Alabama to get close to the 100-point mark, but they are going to struggle to slow down Kent State, and the over is going to cash.
