Harris reminds me a little of TJ Yeldon...smooth and speedy but can’t push the pile when he needs to.
Looks like Robinson is going to have to take the power back role.

Man oh man. LSU is going to be feeling their oats with their “superstar” qb Burrows. Ugh. Is gonna be a nauseating love fest.
I think it’s another message Saban is sending. He had hip surgery in the offseason, his team is coming off the worst loss in his tenure here, and the National media seemingly wants to force him into retirement and with all that he had to suspend some players as well. I think Saban is just showing that he’s not done yet and is still the baddest man on the planet.
Announcers mentioned Tua has something like one touchdown every 12 plays or so. Lia has one touchdown every other play. Lia for Heisman???:biggrin:
Typical first game. Lots of things we can improve on. Tua and Jeudy will be the show this year. OL needs some gelling. I believe we will be fine in the kicking game this year. Sark did a great job. Way too early to glean too much. The LB play I thought was good all things considered. They are young but highly talented. Tua was ready and erased any health concerns. Going to be fun to watch this year.
We spent most of 2018 being the best team in the country until we weren't.
I kinda prefer the deficiency being obvious from the beginning because that recipe seems to be a consistent theme of all the teams that actually finished a national champ.

It is more of how we finished our season and I've heard that it didn't sit right with him so he has been on everyone butt to do everything the right way. So no age has nothing to do with it. It is more of his wanting to do everything right.

I was pleased with the game for the most part. OL will be fine. We have experimented so much in fall camp so I kinda knew we would struggle somewhat. We will be fine. My only concern were Tua and how much he improved and I was quite pleased with his performance. He took what defense gave him and boy he was dangerous!

How would you like to be opposing defenses trying to figure out how to play those receivers
You can’t double team. You can stay in man with the crossing routes. You can’t play zone because of Tua’s accuracy.
Lovin’ it

Reminder...most all of this was in 2 quarters too. Had 2 or 3 big throws negated by penalties and we know about the very slow start on the first couple of series.
Of course, he might not play more than 2 quarters next week either.
I was hoping they'd do it in a fit of emotion as Oregon was taping the bow on their "HUGE FUMBLE RETURN". He even "BOOM-ed!" a couple times which should mean some kind of bonus.

Finally rewatched Coach’s sideline meltdown and what preceded it.
That flag has to be one of the most idiotic flags I have ever seen thrown. The ref moved INTO the space between the players and coaches as the players were coming off the field. If anything he ran into the coach. (I know the letter of the law says ref has to have room but he went into where everybody was). There was absolutely nothing egregious or excessive about what anybody did except what the ref did. He is such a puny zebra nobody saw him as he moved into a space where only fully grown men belonged.
The play was over on change of possession via turnover. What did Lil Zebra expect was happening? If the play is in action and a Coach is on the white border, sure, that’s a deserved flag. That isn’t what happened here.
CNS, from an example perspective, went overboard but from a stupidity perspective, Tiny Ref wins the Moron of the Day award.

I think we played very well for the most part. Oline does need to gel but that's usually the case because of all the experimentation in the spring and fall practices. Our running game will be fine and Sark appears to be willing to go short routes and let playmakers make plays. I loved that. Don't have to hit the homerun every time at the plate.
Defense played well and linebacker play was really good, all things being considered.
When we go to aTm we'll be ready (not saying it will be easy) and then LSU.
We have the makings of another special team.
As far as the CNS rant on the sideline. I loved it. Showed he still has that fire in his gut and it also seemed to help fire the team up a little more.
Yeah, Duke's offense wasn't anything special but we still had to play the game and we could have looked a lot worse but took care of business.
All in all we looked better than most of any of the other "contenders" out there on opening day.
