I got tired of reading the long post-game thread where Milroe was either the hero or the villain. From the looks of it, you would think Bama lost the game. Anyway, too much emphasis was placed on one player, I think we fans are not enjoying the game as much as we should and overlooking some other players on the roster that had positive impact on the game itself.

The Jam and Justice show continues. They complement each other nicely. Jam is a downhill, physical back who has enough speed to finish the run. Justice is patient and shiftier with acceleration once he gets out into the open.
Bama will need to lean on them with the meat of the schedule coming up. If the OL can fix its problems and have all the starters healthy again, I expect the duo to be a force.

Justin Jefferson had a crucial tackle on 3rd and long forcing USF to punt the ball after the Milroe fumble.
The hit on the USF QB was textbook and a thing of beauty. JJ adds depth to an already stout LB corps. I'm impressed that he is able to cover in space with his speed and range for an undersized LB.

Jaylen Mbakwe did an awesome of job fielding the ball along with a great return in relief of Cole Adams. We are in good hands with this stud freshmen and he seem to be living up to his billing thus far.

Germie Bernard had a fine game and is showing why Deboer gladly took him from his former team.
He seems to be wide open for all his 5 receptions. He looked like he added muscle to his frame as well.
He adds experience and talent to a very promising WR room.

Kendrick Law despite his fumble on the KO shows us why he needs more touches whether its Special Team or WR. He is too good not to have the ball in his hands!

Lawson and Campbell along with Russaw and Q Robinson are the finest LB corps in the SEC.

Ryan Williams enough said.

Tim Keenan had his best game, and slowly working his way into the draft next year.

I f I forgot to mention any other standout, please add them on this list.

RTR!!!

Domani Jackson….I heard his name called once for a penalty and someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe he was ever thrown at all night.

Malachi Moore, I seen him get fired up a couple of times when the defense was not performing up to standards, that's a leader! Parker Braisford I thought played well, when he pulls because of his quickness he can get on the edge with great blocks

Nice thread. We do have a stacked roster just need to gel in some places. I think we will suffer with inconsistency in the offense due to a myriad of issues but the D is stout. Gonna need to continue to lean on those guys on into the season until we get some trench issues resolved when we have the ball. Looking forward to the whisky game.

I'm assuming the more they play in the system the more familiar they will get, which means they will play cleaner and faster. Right now, the entire offense seems to move slowly from one play to the next. But the first thing that has to be fixed is the OL. They've got to get better at knowing what to do, when to do it and just overall working better together. We dang sure different fall into the quadrant of "Teams see their most improvement from game 1 to game 2." LOL! We looked like a dang clown show in the second game.

I chalk it up to "trap game" syndrome and glad it happened early. We got exposed to a certain degree from a team that had our number last year. I think the lessons learned by the staff in that outing will fuel their determination to fix what is wrong going forward. The O Line is a priority. Also need to get Ty some game speed reps and design a few series for him. Milroe was hobbling around out there a few times Saturday night so we need a sharp backup ready to run the offense.

I don’t remember a CNS team having a championship season without a few bumps in the road.

Thank you. We don't win the game without the effort of these players.

Has anyone stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, USF Bulls are a pretty good team?
I could see them winning their conference title.😎

I wish Milroe would look at some of the other recievers though, It left like Milroe was locked into Germie at times. Any one else see that?
Might be too early to say or could be coincidence.

My 1st instinct is to say it’s depends on the Route.

JM likes certain routes and dislikes others.

But RW, Germie, and Kobe all have 5 or more catches.

Law only has 1 reception so far and I wish we could get him some more touches because he’s dangerous in space.

We have an outstanding WR room though and I like every guy.
