Saban looks 15 years younger

You are correct sir, last few years wore him out, heck, they wore me out and I'm not the coach

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Milroe is such an enigma. He looked like a different player on the first two drives. And then, he reverts back to old habits and it’s like “Oh…there he is”.

To be fair, he did that a year ago, too. At least he hasn’t thrown 4 picks.

 

[colbysullivan]

In the first 2 drives he got no pressure. And he only completed one pass on each drive.

True, but the passes were great. I give him credit when it’s due.

Well, that’s my point.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Law with a nice sweep on first down.

Booker is quickly becoming my favorite player.

Law again with a game breaking run on second down.

Agreed - what he does well, he does extremely well.

High ceiling, low floor. I still think Simpson is our best option for steady play.

 

[cbi1972]

D looking a bit more composed

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Idk. Don't feel like I've learned much. Milroe has made some nice throws. Ty has made some nice throws and one boneheaded one. He also had a bad miss on a shorter throw IIRC. I haven't been able to watch closely though.

Run D looks rough but who knows if that's real or just A Day

 

[colbysullivan]

Mack is a project at best right now

 

[Ledsteplin]

Pick.

They will continue pushing each other all year which will be great for both of them.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Mack with a scramble.

second down quick screen to Lockwood

third down and 2. Young stopped on third down short.

Fourth and 1. Dre Kirkpatrick with the pick in the end zone!

Nice inside recovery!!! Need that.

 

[colbysullivan]

Still trying to work out the math with Dre Kirkpatrick having a son in college…

I am honestly shocked Ty has not transferred yet. It says a lot about his character.

Don't.

 

[AlexanderFan]

First and goal jet seeep to someone.

Second and goal the running back got swallowed by James Smith.

Third down, nobody had a clue what was going on. Timeout.

 

[colbysullivan]

Don't.

He would have been what like 16 years old maybe?

 

[Perrett4Bama]

Has ESPN got the score wrong?? Haven't both Milroe and Simpson scored?

From an article......"DeBoer is choosing a different method, focusing solely on offense vs. defense with a unique scoring system in which the offense scores touchdowns and field goals, while the defense can score points with big plays like sacks, tackles for loss and interceptions."

 

[Cruloc]

Poor Mack looks like he's a toddler that got thrown in the deep end and is doing the dog paddle to the ladder.
