. By Jess Nicholas TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief Nov. 16, 2014 Given that top-ranked Mississippi State was an underdog in Saturday’s game, it would be incorrect to call this Alabama win an upset. It would, however, be appropriate for college football’s new Playoff Committee to finally acknowledge what the oddsmakers were trying to tell them beforehand: Alabama […]

Love it. Roll Tide!!

Great write up! I agree that this could potentially be his best coaching effort yet. He said himself that he really enjoys this team. They seem to have all bought into his process and it is making them successful.

The domination of the first half and the fourth-quarter drive to secure the game point to a team that believes in its own strength ...

Our man Jess can write a bit.

Different tone than past write-ups this season. I'm hoping this isn't a quick rush to judgment.

Perfect analysis Jess!

Great write up. I have noticed as well that the secondary has been getting better. The DL has always been there, but man are the disruptive. This game wasn't as close as everyone made it out to be. If we can just come out after halftime and keep playing though. Those slow third quarters kill me!

Jess, your analysis was great as always. What this team has done so far is remarkable given the lack of collegiate-level experience at several key positions. We are in the driver's seat in the most dominant conference. I am thankful to be from Alabama and a fan of the Crimson Tide.

a great paragraph for all of the worriers

Alabama’s road to a berth in the final four isn’t cleared, but Mississippi State was the biggest domino standing among the teams Alabama has left. Auburn flat-out quit against Georgia, and the Tigers would have to fix some internal problems in order to give Alabama much of a game at this point. Presuming Alabama beats Auburn, the Crimson Tide will get either Missouri or Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, and while both teams have their dangerous aspects, neither is anywhere near as complete as Alabama is, as a team.

It's weird because lately that has always been our pull away an curb stomp the opposition quarter. I do think that may change in two weeks because it has been a function of fatigue these two weeks. I for one have never been so happy to see an FCS opponent.

I have to admit that my favorite part of this whole review was the praise heaped on the secondary. ROLL TIDE!!!

bamanix · Nov 17, 2014

thanks jess, I believe the improvement of the secondary is because the def line is dominating offenses like years ago. we have depth with size and able to physically beat down offenses. I do worry about drop off start of 2d half though. I started to see more arm tackling and out of position tackles with lunges. with a break should resolve that problem for the iron bowl.

It is de rigueur to read your analysis of Bama games each week.
