Commit To The Run, and We Win

[TrueGritnPluck]

WHY go away from it on first and goal from the 6?

No way they stop us, or come back after we score

 

[BFANLC]

Agree, it even helps us run out the clock so they don't have time to score...mind boggling.

 

[BamaJeff]

No way they would have stopped us 4 straight times had we pounded the rock. But it is what it is.

 

[Ldlane]

I really don't think our backs had any gas left.

 

[BamaBrass]

I was yelling this the whole game! This game is on the coaches. Same with LSU! Nobody can hold us to under 10yds for three consecutive plays.

 

[Nolan]

Yup.

 

[TIDEnGA]

All I can say is I know. I don't get it at all.

 

[TexanBammer]

Completely agree.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

I wish I could go off. We did not set up play action AT ALL. Pass pass pass!! That's all it was. Down 3 with a lifetime, was like down 10 with 30 sec left. What was up with Nuss!!

 

[BigTex]

AJ Was off , but we could gain 4-6 yards running on almost every attempt. I agree. Why not pound it ?

 

[BFANLC]

Saban is agreeing with you

 

[JeffAtlanta]

Saban is agreeing with you

What did he say?

We live by the run and died by bad play calling, execution, and turn overs. Four power runs with a loaded backfield would have punched it in for us. That's how you give away games and titles.

I hope we throw 3 passes total against wcu with drake and the white boy getting 70% of the carries. I am so po'd when losses point so squarely on playcalling.

QFT

 

[jthomas666]

What everybody said. They were on their heels. Either pound straight at them, or go play action.

 

[Tidewater]

I really don't think our backs had any gas left.

Kenyon Drake was fresh.

 

[bradley30]

No, how bout not turn the ball over and not commit costly penalties and we win the game! It's not the play calling, players have to execute and focus.

I disagree with some of that. If Hubbard plays disciplined in the first quarter the score may have been a bit different. The way we beat Tebow, all but beat Cam was to make the QB stay in the pocket. We failed miserably at this during the first quarter. This comes down to execution in th offense and tonight AJ was just a bit off when we needed it most. I'm disappointed with the loss but even with Johnny football Alabam beat Alabama today. Now lets knock the dust off and got get the SECC and let a few of these other team crumble under the undefeated pressure.

I'm glad someone else sees it the way I see it!!! Nuss play calls were horrible!!! No way they stop us 4 straight runs and especially from the two yard line with Jesse leading the way!!!!
