I think it is awesome that so many players got in the game. One of my gripes, few and far between, with Coach Saban was playing so few back ups when games were well in hand. Felt like we missed out on opportunities to get 2s and 3s some good work and also let some 4s and walkons get some playing time.

I am still upset that the game was not shown on our direct TV. Probably the first time ever that we were not able to watch an Alabama game. I would have loved to see some of those things Jess described.

It was on the ESPN app, should have a replay there as well.

I was at the game in the south endzone stands and Jam missed 2 holes you could have driven an 18 wheeler thru.

He saw them both times, hesitated and then cut it out wider only to be tackled for less yardage.

It is almost like he tries to find a defender to run to even when there's plenty of green grass available. It's baffling and frustrating. He may be a great leader and hard worker, but he can't find or hit a hole.

I was at the game and stayed until the end. I was certainly pleased with our consistency (14 points in each quarter), but I was disappointed that we didn't have explosive plays. I was so glad to see so many players get into the game. Jam disappointed me with his decisions to constantly bounce it outside for little to no success. If he couldn't run any better than he did against EIU, he won't be able to be successful against anyone else. Overall, the domination was complete but there was definite concern about what happens against better competition.
