Meh game, but I wouldn't worry too much. My only concerns are the inconsistency and lack of a killer instinct across the team. The talent in there. Need to push harder to get it to shine through.

Your d-line played poorly today. You gave up 3.6 yards per rush and are getting no QB pressure from the D-line. That means that the loss of your OLBs has killed your ability to affect the passer. Have to get that fixed. We knew that the D-line would be a work in progress, but this was a CSU team that was held to 3 points by Colorado.

Is it just me or in the last 2 games have we only played mostly 2 linebackers in the middle of the field instead of 3? Seems like our OLB play is always lining up on the edge of the line.

Pretty sure Coach Saban will administer a week's worth of 'ALPHA CHARLIE'S' to our Defense this coming week. (They have it coming)

I probably saw the game a little different than some did. I saw CSU score 23 points playing their 1s vs a combination of our back ups and some starters.

I saw us take our foot off the gas when we were comfortably ahead.
We substituted liberally, and got playing time and experience for a lot of back ups.
We got thru the game without major injuries.

For a change our FG kicking was good. Kickoffs were generally in the endzone.
We made no real effort to block a punt. CSU was vulnerable.

All in all a win, is a win, is a win... Unless you're the Barn then a 2 TD win over Mercer is acceptable... S.N.A.S.S.

I think he also got annoyed with Colorado St. He had the backups in for a long time, and CSU is doing things like going for 2 and trying on sided kicks. Between that and the defense not getting the job done, just wanted to slam the door shut, emphatically (and I am basing this partly on his post game comments).

Not a pretty win. Defense has depth issues so hopefully that can be cleaned up if they get a bit more healthy. Still not completely sure about play calling. Daboll hasn't won me over yet, but he does seem to like a run heavy offense and seems rather risk adverse. But, I get the feeling that Alabama is leaving points out there...

Me too. The situation in which certain plays are called stumps me. The Passing route play design stumps me. The player rotation for certain plays stumps me.

I'd love to be able to talk X's and O's with Daboll.......I don't mean that to be super snarky but I just want to hear/see him explain what he's doing and why? Maybe I'd go...'Oh wow I didn't even think about things from that perspective'.....or maybe I'd still be scratching my head and looking at him perplexed.

Kiffin did some odd things too but eventually you could see 'OH he was setting THAT play up!'.

I can't tell what the heck Daboll is trying to do. The main positive thing I can say is I DO like the use of our RB's in the passing game. But I'd like to see Foster and Jeudy more involved.

If you could take 90's Spurrier and give him Jalen and our WR's to call plays for we'd be averaging 45-50 PPG right now with ridiculous passing stats.

Saban wasn't the only one getting annoyed with CSU. We didn't schedule them to go for 2 and onside kick when the game is clearly not within reach...

I was furious.

Daboll is still coaching like he's in the NFL. Sometimes it seems like he's planning on having to kick a field goal as time expires like how 50% of all NFL games end. He needs to get that out of his head right now and just let Hurts distribute the ball. I don't care who we're playing, no one can cover Ridley, Jeudy, Foster, Harris, Bo, and Jalen all at the same time...

Talk to me after next week. I want to see how the defense responds and how they look with hopefully Evans and Jennings in the line up on those 3rd down and medium to long plays. Remember this team totally shut down a top flight FSU team. They haven't forgotten how to play.

I was impressed that they were still trying to win the game, which is what they are supposed to do. If they had made the two point conversion, they would have been within 16, which is two scores. Stranger things have happened, so I don't blame them at all. If we want teams to act like the game is over, we need to put it out of reach. In other words, make their arse quit. That's how I see it, at least.
