Joel Klatt is not high on Alabama right now.

The FOX Sports analyst believes the Crimson Tide are struggling to put together solid performances on the road and its been an issue for a couple of seasons.

Alabama had a tight road game at Texas last Saturday and survived with a 20-19 win.

“They had the two-point win against Florida, they lost against Texas A&M, they beat Mississippi State badly and then they had the four-overtime game against Auburn,” Klatt said. “Three of the four they didn’t play well.

“This is a trend now for this version of ‘Bama that’s not pleasing.”

The Crimson Tide have a tough road schedule this season. They travel to Arkansas, Ole Miss and Tennessee — all likely to be ranked. Plus a trip to LSU will come up in the first week of November.

Alabama has often been a victim of its own dominance to the point of where we forget that road games are tough, regardless of opponent. Texas hasn’t been great for the past decade, but anyone with a pair of functional eyes could see that the Longhorns have a potentially elite quarterback and some other very nice pieces on the roster.

So let’s hear it ‘Bama fans, are you confident that the Crimson Tide can run through this guantlet of a schedule?
