Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Michigan...

[bvandegraff]

The mentally tougher team won. Every promising drive stalled due to a penalty, a bad read, or (multiple) bad snaps (including the last play). This team dodged a lot of self-inflicted bullets this year, but couldn't do it again tonight.

Pool every available dime of NIL $ and get a center.....

Hope this wasn't the boy's & coach's last chance at one last college football title. Stuff to think about moving forward.

That was the absolutely worst call for a must make 4th and 3 I've ever seen. Trying to run up the middle when we have had zero success there all day. You have to get Jalen outside and give him a chance. Overall, our entire offensive game plan was horrible, and we wasted half the game trying to figure things out. This just ruins the whole year for me. Hopefully we can do better next year.

I don't mind the play call. We had a quarterback that absolutely could not throw the ball tonight.

Lots of mistakes, many inexplicable, but they left it all on the field.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

The cheaters are going to win it all most likely. I hope they are stripped of the title afterwards.

Not much to say. Just when we sort of got control of the game we fell apart. Overall a pretty good season with another SEC ring. I have no interest in what happens tonight or in the CFPCG so I‘m done with football until fall. See you then.

This exactly, started moving the ball, back to back bad snaps. Moved the ball again, gouging them off tackle runs and get an oline penalty to stall a drive. Jalen didn’t play his best game today, the team didn’t play very well the first half, and still took it to overtime. Overall, a successful season. I guess with the loss, Nick can’t retire now.

Dude has been calling plays with a running back at quarterback all year. What did you expect?

Given his salary, a little more creativity. A QB from a 4-5 wide set, OK. But a power QB run the way our OL had been playing? That's just stupid.

I still think UGA is the best team in the country.

Not better than Bama- proven on the field. You have no evidence to support this position

 

[Mystical]

If after the Texas game you had told me we would be here. I would have gladly accepted it. I just wish Milroe had a run pass option on that last play. Something rolling out.

That said the better team won tonight. They were better in the trenches.

 

[bamacon]

How we lost and who we lost to are the problem.

 

[BamaFossil]

After the Auburn game (and a couple other games actually...) IMO we were playing with house money. Great season! Would've liked to win tonight but it wasn't to be. I could have done with a better play call than Milroe up the middle. Play action or something. Nevertheless, great season.

 

[braggtd]

Real talk. Do we want Jalen as the guy next year? Can he improve? I love 22 and 36...RB future is bright. I just don't know what I think of the Jalen era. Kid is so inconsistent with plays and in some cases...effort. That run in the first half hurt bad. Was he in pain? He kind of slowed down on a few runs. Oline needs an upgrade too.

 

[bvandegraff]

The low snap sure didn't help matters. That was an issue all year

Agreed. Multiple bad snaps tonight. Never got fixed......

 

[TideEngineer08]

This game was decided on the LOS and we got dominated when it mattered most.

The offense shot itself in the foot too often during the stretch of time of the last drive of the 2nd quarter until the end. Thus despite the defenses efforts during that same stretch, with it just being a one score game when Michigan got the ball back with 4 minutes to go, the defense collapsed.

The single point in time where the game was lost was settling for the 52 yard FG. Great kick yes, but we needed a two score lead at that point.

I won’t tip my hat to Michigan, because their program is dirty. But I do respect what talent they’ve assembled, especially their veterans.

We need everyone to come back and build a championship team again. But I figure we will lose most of our eligible juniors to the NFL.

 

[bamamc1]

If anyone on here thought after the Texas and USF games we’d be here tonight, I would have called you a lunatic. I’m excited to see how much we improve from now until next season. RTR forever.

 

[countrytider]

Dude has been calling plays with a running back at quarterback all year. What did you expect?

Not a run straight up the middle into a stacked box from 5 yards out…

 

[crimsonaudio]

If McLaughlin is center next season I might not even watch the games.

 

[BamaFanInTally]

For the 2024 season, I want a great o-line and a center who can freaking snap the ball consistently well! Bad snaps this year have been horrendou, worse than I’ve ever seen by a Bama team.

 

[justinkjones1993]

I feel like the game was blown when we were marching into their territory, ready to put them away, and McGlaughlin made the two poor snaps in a row that totally killed the drive and momentum. Just baffling this kid is 14 games into the season, a starting center on a collegiate level, and can't snap the football. I don't understand it at all. I don't know how it didn't cost us even more games.

 

[Lifer]

Poop! We had it and then,we didnt. Disagree with the last call. I we ould have rolled him with a run/pass option .It is what it is. Im pround if our team. RTR

Two times we had the game in our grasp and couldn’t finish.

we don’t score a touchdown and settle for a field goal in the 4th.

Then:

We had them 4th and 2 and they hit a wide open receiver and go on to score.

Great season love this team!
