4:30 - Independence Bowl  -  Oklahoma State (-2) VS. Alabama

I guess my question here is how does Alabama concentrate on this game with all of the crazyiness going on with their head coaching position. I believe the defensive cordinator for Alabama is coaching this game but do the players really want to play for him knowing that the chances of him getting th gig are slim especially how hard the tide seem to be going after nick saban.  However, I think their defense is stout and can shut down the open offensive attack of OSU. Lets not forget that OSU did finish last in the big 12 last year.  dont have  strong feel for this game but have to lean with alabama especially with theri overll experience in bowls (54th bowl appearance)  Thoughts?  besides smart ass comments about who cares about this game.  its bowl season and every game is interesting.
