Bama Game Thread: Bama PostGame Thread - Bama vs. OU...

[AlexanderFan]

I’m pretty sure you guys know what I meant, but then again apparently not so let me simplify it.

Teams used to be beat before the coin toss. Especially coming into Tuscaloosa.

So stop pretending you didn’t know what I meant. Yeah, I mean teams always “expect” to win on the road….but in the back of their mind they know it ain’t happening.

That was my point.

No, they didn’t. The teams beat the opposition, not some spectre.

Stop living in the past. College football is going to only get tighter going forward with 9 conference games coming up.

The more I watch the pick six the more angry I get. I mean steamrolled Horton and caused the pick.

Still no excuse for Ryan Williams returning kicks.

I haven’t watched it since, but watching live I felt Horton should have fought through it more, might have made the contact more obvious and drew a flag, but with these refs it probably wouldn’t have mattered. But I though Ty’s pass was off target regardless.

OU did get away with a lot of “outside the rules” contact though.

At least they called it on the second pick. Two guys had hands full of Jersey.

Just can't turn the ball over three times and miss chip shot fg's and expect to win. We shot ourselves in the foot all game. I know its already been said, but our OL is bad. I was at the game today and seeing them in person is worse than what you see on TV. We need an over haul at OL.

OU is clearly being coached to foul every play since the refs can’t call them all.

No doubt, I bet they coach expecting to get 50yds in penalties and they came out ahead on that metric tonight.

I wished we worked the officials more than we have as a program over the years. Auburn and Oklahoma make this part of their strategy.

Bama really needs to target Oline in the offseason, and just DUMP money on some good ones.
We cant afford to loose Keelon Russell.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Can not beat OU in Norman,. Can not beat them in Tuscalossa. My I suggest if Bama has to keep playing OU, do it on a neutral site, like Miami? Oh and, 0-3 against Texas/OU since they join the SEC, that has to stop.

I am still pleased with the progress that is being shown, despite the flaws that are still apparent. Let's just make the playoffs, perhaps make a deep playoff run and start to build momentum for 2026.

Wow, a reasonable approach.

We have had a good run this year. This is not a championship team by Bama standards but still a good team. If were were not affiliated with the SEC, the conference we built up, then we would be feasting just like the domers. Need to get to that.

 

[CrimsonRuss]

Are quick slants and bubble screens just not in our lexicon?

 

[bamamc1]

Can anyone explain the difference in the no call PI on our receiver in the first half and the one we got called for in the second half?

8-2 at this stage I would have taken in a heartbeat. The concern now is the SEC folded to add another conference game...its suicide...ACC/B1G/B12 are awful after one or two teams...so the deck is further stacked against the SEC. Probably should have cost Greg Sankey his job....it needs to be rescinded

Don’t worry. If it costs the SEC playoff spots, it will be.

Mateer had the worst performance of an opposing QB winning in BDS since Jarrett Lee in 2011

Manziel, Kelly, Burrow, and Ewers had career defining performances in BDS and barely won those games

Just a bizarre game

Would like to see Cole Adams get a shot at the slant...safe hands and not afraid of contact

I’d like to know where the RB screens are too, we did it well against Georgia and we abandoned it after it didn’t work for a couple games.

According to Cole Cubelic in the lead up to the start of the season, Mateer was the end all be all at QB. Of course, he said that he’d watched Bama practice in the lead up to the 2023 season and we had the best oline he’d ever seen. Point being, he needs to be a weatherman.

 

[SkullDuckery]

Folks better get used to this type of ball. It’s not going away.
