****Bama vs. UT - Postgame Thread****
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
On one site several UT posters were calling it a 20-7 UT victory only counting the time that Dobbs was in.
This is getting like battered wife syndrome..."But he doesn't hit me 95% of the time!"
By the time UT got anything going we were warming up the plane. They weren't going to win at any point. Up 27-zip we lost focus. Some of that happened while Dobbs was in or do we forget Ragland popping him for a fumble? The game itself was not as close as the 14 point win was.
Doesn't matter that the score was 13-0 when Dobbs entered the game, meaning we outscored them 21-20 with Dobbs at QB. :biggrin2:
UT fans have never been too good at statistical accuracy.

When a program or coaching staff starts taking solace in moral victories, it has truly lost its way. We know that from the Franchoine and Shula days.
Dobbs played very well last year against an already unfocused Alabama team as well - they thought they had found their QB after that game too. He then proceeded to throw 5 interceptions in 3 consecutive losses to Missouri, Auburn & Vandy.

I have never cared for moral victories. One year when I lived in Knoxville, we struggled to beat MTSU and people at work razzed me over it. The next week we lost a close game to Oklahoma. On Monday someone said he thought we played much better on that game.
I know he was being nice, but I said it was not better because we lost.

That's incredibly sad reasoning lol do they not think that our guys would've prepared differently had that kid been in the whole time? very sad for the ugly orange lol
I've gone back and watched the first PAT over and over. Whoever said above that the holder got the ball straight was correct. It appears to me, compared to the later, successful PATs, the holder was slow getting his right hand off the ball. I believe that messed up AG's motion. When he connected, his motion was very abnormal. It looked like he was trying to steer the ball - like he meant to kick left. I welcome other opinions. If you have it recorded, it's just a couple of minutes into the game...
He was not carrying the ball properly. There's an excellent pic of the strip on another site, taken at the exact time the UT defender has his hand on the ball. JF was not carrying it high and tight...
they are just like many georgia teams of the past. they look strong against mediocre competition, but their defense is less than stellar when they get challenged and their offense is vanilla. i still think they lose one or two of the uf, barn and kentucky games
Saban told Eli after the game the defense was not able to run the scheme they practiced all week. With the belief Worley was going to play, the defense planned to play 2 safeties high and man coverage. He said they couldn't do that with Dobbs being able to run.
Dobbs played well, Landon missed a series or two, DePriest missed a tackle that led to Dobbs' best run and they had two really great catches.
I don't think the issues we had against UT are chronic per se, I think the team was caught by a new QB the team hadn't figured would play.
