In Mullen's post-game presser he said that he should be fine but will know more tomorrow.

It seemed like after a couple of early pressures we gave up on anything longer than about 7 yards
Who is more likely to pick up the roles KD has in our offense? Harris? Haven't seen evidence that he catches the ball well enough. Ronnie Clark? doesn't seem likely. Bo S? We hear he is fast. We hear he can catch. Maybe he has seen enough reps to make up most of the missed time. Will he see lots of playing time against Char So?
Hope Bo gets loads of rep time in drills for the next two weeks.

That's very good news. It was a good indication when he left the field sitting up on the cart.
When they stay down that long, immobile from a neck problem, I was afraid it was worse that season ending.
Yeah, I just knew Drake was done. On the replay, my heart just sank. I guess if you're going to break your arm that's the way to do it.

Bo's last run I think was for about 10 yds. but then again it was the last play of the game and MSU was ready to get off the field.
The ball was almost stripped from him on his second carry last night so I totally agree.

I saw that almost strip as well. He probably would have gotten the first down on that carry if he didn't almost lose it. I hope he gets some good playing time this coming week. To get himself game ready..if we need him.
Harris is the safe choice, and with your defense it is really easy to fall into the trap of playing safe football, but Henry needs help - real help. Not sure that Harris is any safer, or that he offers real help right now.
Carrying the ball during a game is a lot different than carrying the ball in practice. He seems to turn his back a lot on defenders instead of wrapping his arms around the ball and going forward. That is something that comes with reps. However, Harris moves the ball forward and wraps up the ball. He's not as big, but he carries the ball better and with more confidence. I expect to see a mixture with more leaning on Harris until Bo get's more comfortable in game time situations.
Not disagreeing, but there is a reason that Harris has so few carries this season, even with Drake doing almost nothing until the LSU game. Bo may not be ready, but Harris is not the answer.
Right now, neither are ready for the number 2 spot, but money says Saban will go with Harris in the number 2 position because of ball protection.
I know it probably seems to be nit picking, and I know I see things through crimson colored glasses, but I am still somewhat perplexed by the overturned fumble by Dak returned for a touchdown.
In order to overturn, there must no doubt that call on the field was incorrect. When I first saw the replay, I thought "Okay, Prescott's knee was down, it should be reversed." But if you watch the play closely, as Dak is being sacked he is actually switching from his right to left hand with the ball before the knee is down. As the same time the Alabama player raking at the ball. So is it naturally assumed that the ball is "secured and in possession" at the time he is switching hands? As I looked at it closer, I'm not so sure that ball was secured at that point.
As is turns out, it had no affect on the game. I'm just wondering if anyone else had the same question?
