Yes we have. Coach has said that for years.

Our offensive line can't block. I have been saying that all year. Now in their defense we did replace three very experienced starters. When you get right down to it there are very few programs that are able to stockpile offensive linemen enough not to have a drop off when that happens. 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.

Where was no. 42 on Henry's run?

They caught us in a pass rush..... He was rushing and R Brown was getting a full bear hug by their right guard. No hold though

[Pinto]

When in that first half have we gotten a push up the middle? Everyone was keying on Dak.

[Bothrops]

9-3 will be a nice season. 3rd place in the West and 3rd overall best team in the SEC.

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.

[NCDawg]

To have this shitty of an OL is unacceptable considering our talent upgrades at every other position. Hevesy has dropped the ball big time, & Dan better fix it, or tell his buddy to hit the road. Year 7, an offense that should be a lineman's dream to block for...and we're watching a converted TE get his ass whipped game after game at Left Tackle. Left. Tackle.

You're absolutely correct. Hevesy is not the answer.

[CadaverDawg]

I can totally live with getting beat, if it's just because the other team is better....but when you make stupid play calls, dumb 4th down decisions when you could gain momentum with a 3-0 lead, punt a line drive allowing a TD, run a QB draw on 3rd and 13 like a gutless quitter, etc.....THAT is when I get pissed.

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.

We came into this game only giving up 13 sacks all year. We were #4 in sec in sacks allowed. You wanna say we can't run block, I agree. We've been good passing protecting all year though

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bama offense first half...

2 plays = 134 yards
21 plays = 46 yards

23 plays = 180 yards

[Statecoachingblows**]

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.

[Dawg61]

When the ball is on the 1 yard line and the score is 0-0 and you are at home you always go for the touchdown on 4th down. Worst case scenario (which happened) they have to go 99 yards and you have a great chance at a safety.

[Coach007]

McLaurin was playing soft and Ridley out juked him.

He was late on the read.

Exactly. Actually talented big guys are the rarest commodity on the recruiting trail. Which is why we have such a difficult time keeping them stockpiled. But despite the talent deficiency, Mullen keeps getting us back to bowls.

[Liverpooldawg]

He's not wrong.

Thank you.

I'm not blaming Dak for us losing, but he has to make quicker decisions bc we can't block them for long at all

Tebow for OC! I said that 2 weeks ago.

[tcdog70]

Some of you guys are weird.

Weird, no Smoot they are assholes. Have they never seen Alabama play? 3 ****ing plays, other than that we have played the mighty Tide's ass off. Shit, it's not over. Gray let a TD go right through his hands.

[Matt3467]

Talk bad about TSUN all anyone wants but at least they've beat Bama twice in a row.

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