Let's hope for a strong start to the second half...

 

[ROTYDE]

Come on Bama.............

 

[mikeua69]

Maybe we'll start to put more men on the line of scrimmage.

 

[ChattTide]

Can't handle this. I will never be able to go to my in laws ever again because my wife's sister and brother in law are both OSU grads. Luckily they told me they won't say a word.

I still can't believe they came down when we pulled within 3 and put up 6. Just takes your heart out.

Roll Tide!!

i can't believe i'm about to say it, the offense has outplayed the defense today, neither have been anything to write home to momma about...

Darby needed 180 today for the record. He has -4 at the half. He is proving my season long point today. Good kid, just made a wrong turn running the ball.

At least in a polite letter!:biggrin:

Let's hope Part II of the game is better. Defense has been sliding since the MSU game. I'm gonna say it....I like Kines but I think we need a fresh approach. JMO.

Well my prediction of us playing our best game of the year went down the tubes. At least the red zone is not a problem(Offense).

 

[rolltide8755]

our DT's are killing us. these runs and plays up the middle for the cowboys are giving them more and more yards every time

 

[FatherTide]

The game is not out of hand on the scoreboard. It is imperative that the coaching staff do something tonight that we haven't seen in 4 years!!!!!!!

Make a second half comeback against a quality opponent! Shula is not here to blame this game so we must all focus as a fanbase and send out the positive vibes.

I can recall in times past when I knew BAMA was going to win. If the team held up four fingers at the start of the fourth quarter it was an indication that that game was going to turn in the favor of the TIDE!!!!!!!!

Let's all hope that feeling comes back tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TIDE-HSV]

We play a three-man line to disguise our weaknesses. It's basically an act of desperation to play it in short yardage and on the goal line.

When do the "Hire the OK St coach!" threads start?

Finally got caught up watching the game on Tivo. Looks like much hasn't changed from the regular season...Alabama can't seem to get out of its own way or take advantage of prime opportunities for turnovers (Prince Hall dropping an INT, fumble on punt, etc).

 

[BAMAHD]

Need some linebackers to fill some holes!

msu this year or LAST year? Could make an argument about that.

You are correct sir. Is just like the regular season.

Thoughts on the first half . . .

Seems to me that having to be HC is keeping Kines from making necessary in-game adjustments on defense.

Outside of being perfect in the redzone, not sure I can really tell a difference in the offense without Shula's input.

Defense looked spirited in the first quarter; but overall, lackluster effort.

Horrible decision by Simpson on the fumble on OSU's last drive.

On a positive note, considering the circumstances, being down ten with the ball to start the half is not as bad as it could be. If the D tightens back up and gets a stop or two, we can get right back in it.

they have. but there is nobody left behind them to make the play. The o-linemen are getting to our LB's first. There is nobody up front to take on the o-line. It's the whole 3 man defensive front thing.
