You're right..... We've controlled time of possession and field advantage. They've had 3 big plays, we've had zero that have turned into touchdowns.Quote:

Can anyone answer why we didn't run the play clock down to 1 right before half which would have left 6 seconds on game clock and take a shot for Hail Mary with our big WRS?
Just awful.
He's not wrong.Quote:

Talking about some of his play calling. The 4th and goal Dak up the middle run. Wow! I bet nobody expected that!!!!Quote:

We've lost focus after the 3 big playsQuote:

9-3 will be a nice season. 3rd place in the West and 3rd overall best team in the SEC.
We tried for the Hail Mary Dak just got sacked. Questionable call was the play before. Running Dak up the gut on 3rd and 13 was never going to produce jack squat.Quote:

This is a great take. Not sure if you saw the 2 blocks in the back on the return, but no calls.Quote:

The busted pass play was on the guy replacing bryant. Was no where in position to make a play. We put a lot in the box too.
That led to the the 3 man front btw.
The 4th and goal call was the right one. It's Dak to get one yard. The calls on 1st and 2nd were dumb, though.Quote:

I would LOVE to see this Bama team play ole miss. Same thing last season. It would be really bad. Much worse than what we're watching today.Quote:

Why are we not rolling the pocket and giving run pass options. Dan has lost every Alabama game for us.
McLaurin was playing soft and Ridley out juked him.Quote:

That is THE main thing that separates programs that really contend every year from those that are where we are where we are right now. That's really the next step for us. That that Is the next step tells you exactly how far we have come. That's why I don't get on the coaches like many do. We ARE making progress. The general trajectory has been up ever since Mullen got here.Quote:

Well I'd love to go 9-3, but OM is licking their chops watching this shit. Hell they know they can beat our ass. Arkansas is too physical for us. Don't see it working out.Quote:

It is clear that we likely don't win this game even if we play perfect Bc our OL sucks. But the other shit we've done that has kept this from being a 14-9 or 7-6 game, is what burns me up. Just one time can we come out and execute well...win or lose, just not blow our feet off all game. That's all I want
I can agree with this. This game may look ugly because of a few big plays, but we have steadily gotten better each year.Quote:

Something needs to change the common denominator is Dan. Not saying he needs to go but we need an offensive coordinator and someone that can take charge of the OL situation. Id burn as much cash as possible to snag a Tebow type solely for recruiting purposes. This shit kills me our D comes out playing lights out and we can't help em out and get some points. Couple busted plays blew this thing open and it'll be like last year where we run out of time. Dak has held the ball to long but look at the plays he has no where to run and can't escape the pocket because they are closing in from everywhere. Wanna blame this on him because of a few throws while he's running for his life every other play go ahead, but the reason we aren't in this isn't because of him
Bama's front 7 will all be first round picks. We need to start scheduling this game earlier in the season before they start to mesh.Quote:

Given the outcome it worked out and 21-6 doesn't look much betterQuote:
