Game Thread: ****Bama vs. OU Game Thread****

[Zaiva]

Why is Cade still kicking for us? Seriously?

We need our defense to multiple stops in the 2nd half and our offense needs to protect the ball. Serious half time adjustments to the O-line and defense are needed big time.

There will be a rowdy locker room and a focused locker room at half. Interesting to see which one comes out on top

Or a butt chewing locker room and one that will be partying. This game reminds me of the 2010 Arky game. We shall see...I like our chances in most any circumstance.

It starts with a defensive stop to start the 2nd half...

It's simple, the D has got to show up, get it figured out and stop them, That would be more satisfying than just out scoring them, much more!

 

[Skeeterpop]

I am going to watch the second half in peace without this thread. Some of you should be ashamed to call yourself a fan of any team.

Need to ring up Kevin Sumlin and Johnny Football for some tips on coming back from 31-17! Seriously, the only chance we got is to stop their first possession after halftime. If they add to this 14 point lead there's just no way.

It's been consistent alright.

Foster was 11-12 in FG's up until the game against the barn...I'd say that's pretty consistent.

Terrible defensive gameplan. Unreal how poorly prepared we are defensively.

 

[TideMom2Boys]

With all I said...I will be the first to admit that I definitely didn't give OU credit. They definitely came to play.

 

[Bryant Ave]

Honestly, OU isn't a good offense...we're just this ill-equipped for tempo used with talent somewhat close to our level. We've got to get smaller and simpler. Saban's subpackage defensive philosophy is done in college football. Lighter players that can endure through a tempo drive are the future of college defense imo.

Or at least have a package just for those teams. If that's possible. This has happened so quickly, we are coming of 3 out of 4 NC'S but the 1st sign was the aTm game last year.

Nope telegraphed pass. I will put that on AJ. Amari didn't fight. AJ still threw it.

Yes. Their DB jumped right in the throwing lane. Great play for them

 

[gamersfuel]

i think the coaches gotta swallow their pride and make some changes on the defensive side. if the guys in there arent getting it done, give someone else a shot. I'd like to see what Fulton can do at DB.. what could it possibly hurt

 

[bamacon]

The left side needs some serious work. Cyrus needs to wake up if he wants to sniff the 1st round.

 

[REBELZED]

Terrible defensive gameplan. Unreal how poorly prepared we are defensively.

I would say it's more of an Oklahoma team playing way over their heads and our turnovers on offense. It's already been said, but Knight is having a Garcia-esque game when he has looked nowhere near as good all season...

 

[bamafaninbham]

Anybody have suggestions for our defense and what they need to do to stop OU?

 

[RWBTide]

We are not suited to X-Box football but that's the game we're trying to play.

We need a stop on their first possession.

 

[bamadws56]

Hopefully the coaches (Saban) saw something during the game that he can correct defensively during halftime.

 

[day-day]

OU had tough time tackling receivers so hit quick passes and let them go. Screens and dumps to RB to negate rush. AND run the ball...

OU turn over in 2nd half and QB cool off.

 

[Bazza]

The Sooners are VERY good or they wouldn't be playing in the Sugar Bowl.

Don't ask me how I know about Sugar Bowl battles.

Coach Saban and AJ will get things going in the right direction again.

A lot of time left.

RTR!

 

[aTm]

If Bama loses we will never hear the end of it from the Sooners. They are horrible neighbors.

 

[Timberline Tide]

how much does this have to do with OU coming to Tuscaloosa to learn our defense last year ... and now exploiting what they learned?
