Holding on during the 4th quarter

Less stupid penalties

No more bucket step

Winning the short yardage plays

Scoring more than 14 points a game

Playing hard for 60 minutes.
Me too.

The casual college football fan won't be shocked if Alabama is a ten-win type of team again simply because of the brand name, Alabama is supposed to be good,

No one is going to have a parade for an Alabama team that comes up short of a championship

The Last Time Florida……went undefeated…1911

No celebrations for stopping the opposing team after they've gained yardage/first downs.
I hear that!

Anybody know if there was much celebration stuff at the A-Day game?

Re: What will have to happen this season to make you believe we're getting better?

1. Win at least one game that we shouldnt
2. Snap the ball before the play clock gets to under 3 seconds. (pathetic)
3. score a rushing touchdown on 3rd (or 4th) and goal.
4. win a close one in the 4th quarter
5. better blocking on the oline

a more business like attitude on the field and less smack talk and taunting. it lets me know someone is in charge and it will show in how they play as well.

Ok, this is a serious question. Don't say things like win more games....be specific. What are you looking for out of our team that will let you know we are climbing out of the hole?

I say competing in every quarter and pulling out a couple of wins later in the game (the kind we haven't been winning in recent years).
I am convinced that the Tide is better already. After Coach Saban's first class was Ranked #10 by Rivals I knew then that it was on like Donkey Kong. My Nephew loves that saying.

I have not doubt that the Tide will play the entire game and play the Saban way. All out every play.

All I am looking for is the players on defense growing up in a hurry and contributing right away. Right away means - by mid season.

When Bama is on offense, look at the line of scrimmage... which way does it move at the start of the play? I am tired of the LOS moving into our backfield.

Scoring in the red zone.

Pressure on the opposing team's QB

The Bama fans are among the smartest in the country. We simply want to see a team go out and give it all every Saturday and do it with class. While also understanding that not every game will be won simply because they played hard.

a defense capable of stopping the other team - an offense capable of scoring points.
