Alabama Game Thead brought to you by GED.gov

A first quarter of missed opportunities. We've had some shots & not taken advantage.

Is t Cooke the back up?

Then why not try the opposite side?

Mullen is a *****

Their DTs are doing a great job of clogging the run game allowing their DE to cover both players. Time to switch to the option sweep and WR screens. Need to get those de looking.

And Mullen going back to Graves. We just need to get some points on the board. D is starting to settle in some. (And now they'll promptly march down the field unchecked because I've said something good about the D.)

Well the dl is playing good but the OL needs to put their big boy pants on and man up.

They aren't going to let Fitz run. We need to throw some quick short passes and to the TE to loosen them up. After a shaky start we are hanging in there. Just need a score. They have done a good job on Ross too, but we need to try to get it to him some.

He screwed us by absorbing a delay of game penalty when he could have called time out but let it happen. You can't take a penalty like that when playing Alabama especially where we were. As a head coach you can call timeout before you get a delay of game. Biggest goof so far.

Why would we flip our line back to the one before A&M?

Ugh, that's an Xs & Os question. I'm sure their DE lines up according to the TE & would just go to the other side.

Not sure of the formation needed to run that play

What call in this game makes you say that?

No idea, but anyone is a better option at this point. Surely one of our players did some old school straight on kicking in HS. Just relegate Graves to PATs.

Yes he's quick but it was still a bad read. Watch the play again on the replay and you see it from behind.

So you're saying they take away our #1 option. What a concept.

He's a freak.

Fitz is standing in there

Tim Williams is their weakest link vs the run. He's their best pass rusher though

So we are trying to beat Bama to the edge with Shumpert?
