Got disgusted when it was 22-14, started watching the three stooges, kept up on the game thread, Thank You Three Stooges!

I did the same thing except I watched State and Texas.

Bama has the running backs, we just need an offensive line that can run block.

This five game stretch has been remarkable. Three road games. One against a team that had played five straight home game, and had a bye week before we played them at their house. Four consecutive games against rated teams. All conference games. And we won them all! It's almost like someone in the SEC office doesn't like us.

Find me another schedule in the nation that comes close to that level of difficulty.

Sagarin has us ENTERING THIS WEEKEND with the third toughest schedule in the country behind:
1) Florida (who didn't play today, so we'd move ahead of them)
2) Arkansas
3) Alabama
4) Auburn
5) Notre Dame

So I concur.

Where do I start? First off hats off the SC Defensive staff. That was a humiliation for most of the game. Not sure if I've seen 55 crappier minutes of offense followed by 5 minutes of brilliance to win. Defense played their hearts out all game long and of course scored 6 and got the critical fumble at the end. Our continual issues getting the run game going early are seriously hurting the team. Nobody even thinks about defending it, they just lay their ears back to pressure Ty. One of the best runs JMiller ever made was called back due to a holding. There were SO many drops by receivers in this game. if they had caught half of them we run away with this game. Ty was also off on all the deep throws but he continues to thrive off the mid range stuff which is the most devastating to a defense. The lob pass to Hill was a gut punch. Defensively if he executes that type thing it's indefensible. Ty's 55% completion percentage is miles below his average. Daniel Hill becoming an indispensable cog in the offense. We really did miss Brooks, he's just someone who sparks the offense. The team needs some rest and therapy after a gauntlet like that.

I know that the offense made some plays, particularly in the 4th quarter, but all in all I thought that this win went to the defense.

I had high school friends at that game to watch MSU do their normal "clock strikes midnight in Cinderella" thing.

If Arkansas was playing nothing but 1A high school teams from Alaska, that would still be a tough schedule for the Hogs.

BIG props to the defense for this win. 33 minutes of chasing the closest athlete to Cam Newton since 2010 can be frustrating, confusing and fatiguing.Though they missed tackles/etc; I never saw any quit or lack of effort till the end. Made stands and plays that put us a position to win the game.
That is promising; ROLL TIDE!

I don't think we have a national championship team this year but I think we have a playoff team and I'll take that.

The road games would be brutal, plus polar bears wonder on to fields there

 

[BamaNation]

Just Win Baby!

....

That we did

I feel better about our chances then I did after the FSU game. If we can improve our O line and running game, and a little luck, we could make the NC game.

You know how those bears love pork.

Defense made SoCar work a lot for just a few points in return

But it was clear they couldn't do that the entire game without some help. FIVE three-and-outs, the fumble, and the turnover on downs put the D in a tough spot for anyone to endure

 

[BamaLuver]

Whew, what a ballgame - we have a lot to be proud of. We get everybody’s best shot, always have. That’s exactly why they were patiently waiting to tear down the goal-post To come back as they did ...yep, I’m proud of this team. RTR!

Yeah, especially since we all know how Arkansas is afraid to play road games up north in December.......

 

[crimsonaudio]

Hahahaha, they REALLY thought they were storming the field, hahahahahahah

 

[smith5753]

So glad we didn’t have to attempt the game winning field goal. The way most of that game went I didn’t have a good feeling about a kick.

 

[bamaga]

7-1

 

[bamaga]

One question, what was the SC defender doing letting Bernard score? That made no sense
