Without the fluke tip pass, OM is 23-10 giving up 200yds total offense and 80yds passing and they had 60yds rushing on their first drive netting 3 points.

I think their defense is doing better than it appears.

That’s just how Golding is, not quite enough to be super elite.

I’d wager you could take almost any of his games here and pick 5-7 plays and totally change the view of that defense. Some fluky third down play, or a big gainer to get out past the 20. He was always just a couple plays from slamming the lid on their fingers.

If anyone is wondering why the SEC usually does this to B1G teams needs to look no further than this game. Speed. Team Speed. It’s not that B1G teams don’t have fast guys or really talented players but it’s just the week in week out NON STOP speed that SEC teams see and are used to. Players who are used to the plodding nature of the majority of their opponents just aren’t ready for the “pedal to the metal” gear these teams bring.

Yeah, everyone always says “Well he won a title in 2020”. Ed Orgeron won a title too, so what are we really talking about here?
That offense was the best in the history of the game. He got a participation ring. Alabama won in spite of his defense.

These announcers..... the first couple of drives they were saying how Pedo defense was killing the oline and they were the best in the country and Dart may not finish the game.
Now they're telling us how many players opted out after every play.
