Game Thread: ****Bama vs. OU Game Thread****

Turnovers will kill you, just hold on to the ball and we'll be fine

There is a difference of getting frustrated at plays and such....than dissing the players and the team....or giving up completely.

I haven't seen anyone naming players, but I could have missed it. My comment on Saban was meant to be lighthearted after the shot they showed of him with his head down. Should have used blue.

This was the first season in a while when I felt really good about field goal kicking...oh well.

 

[WMack4Bama]

Nope telegraphed pass. I will put that on AJ. Amari didn't fight. AJ still threw it.

The pass was there. AJ threw it late. Almost identical to the Manning pick 6 in the Super Bowl vs. the Saints

Hey guys, I've been at work. What's going on? :biggrin2:

 

[Tide1986]

All right, sunshine pumpers, come on out and get us pumped up. What do we need to do to win? Anything is possible.

It's pretty simple...don't turn the ball over. 21 points off of turnovers will make a game difficult for any team.

That was a difficult 1st half to get through. Has any team scored 31 on Bama in the first half?

Not in awhile. I know UGA did in 2003

Honestly, OU isn't a good offense...we're just this ill-equipped for tempo used with talent somewhat close to our level. We've got to get smaller and simpler. Saban's subpackage defensive philosophy is done in college football. Lighter players that can endure through a tempo drive are the future of college defense imo.

That's how I saw it, but I've been drinking.

JMO, but the seniors had a chance to go out with a win. They didn't get it done in the first half. Bring on the kids and let them have some fun in the second half. Even a win at this point doesn't get the seniors what they wanted.

A joint TideFans suicide pact

 

[theballguy]

Yep, this is when all the fair weather fans go to bed because we're losing.

No way. This "fair weather fan" is going down with the ship no matter what. I've waited too long to watch this.

 

[BamaGreek]

Our defense has to show the ability to stop Oklahoma and get off the field on 3rd down.

 

[tide power fan]

without the 3 turnovers it wouldn't be this way

 

[HartselleTider]

I've been holding my tongue all season on it but yes, it seems like Yeldon fumbles all the time. He runs way too upright.. still. It drives me crazy. We're getting our butts whipped, but Kevin Norwood is such an underrated player. My goodness. Pressure situations completely melt Cade Foster. Poor kid just can't handle it.

 

[Timberline Tide]

No matter how this turns out, Stoops gets to strut his SEC defense comments for a year.

sad but true and should be running in the locker room until this time next year

 

[bamafaninbham]

Hope we don't see any five wide from our Offense. AJ might get killed. Gotta establish the run, haven't done that yet, and then pass, quick passes because we can't block them on deep drops. AJ has been running for his life.

 

[fundytide]

Well, we certainly won't be hearing any more about how Alabama is the best team in the country. That is very clearly NOT the case.

 

[Bob Minton]

Hate that for Cade, hope it does not end up the difference in the game. He's given his all for Bama for 4 years, like to see him go out well. Really gotta get the D lined up quicker is the biggest thing I see. Guys are not even down in their stances when the ball snaps. You can't rush, or cover when that's the case. OU is playing as well as they possibly could I believe though. That QB has made every conceivable throw and the couple he's missed they've bailed him out with incredible catches. Some of our Senior's need to step up and inject some life in this team. The Sr. class deserves better than going out like this. Imagine any paint in the locker room has already peeled off the walls, there has to be some chewin' going on in there.

True but is it worth watching really?
